I feel like the 5700 XT has replaced the RX 580 as the budget king. Still 8GB of VRAM but the performance uplift is astounding (even referencing your own 5700XT video) In February of 2020 i bought an RX 580 8GB Sappire Nitro+ for $110 (fore the scalpers got crazy), now you can swing a 5700 XT for $130-$150. Superb video mate.
TLOS really shows how budget midrange (for the time) cards are supposed to work - high textures, and medium effects. Thank you for demonstrating this so simply and effectively.
The fact that the RX 580 aged better than the 1060 6GB, matches performance with cards like the 5500 XT (and laughably 6500 XT), GTX 980, and 1650 Super makes it such a great budget option even well into 2023. I'm very fond of it as well, as it carried me thru the pandemic till I was able to get my hands on my 3060ti for $340 a year ago. I had the Sapphire Pulse model & it paired well with my old i7-2600K, then R5 2600, and finally R5 5600 for a month or so prior to getting the aforementioned 3060ti. I was really lucky to have gotten my 580 for $100 literally right before they skyrocketed into the $400-500 range due to the mining/scalping fiasco. Long live the old Polaris legend.
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel well to be fair the 6700 XT was still going for $400+ where I live at the time I got my 3060ti & I only paid like $340 for it all said and done. Plus I'm only gonna hold onto this card for another year or so, I'm mainly trying to upgrade my CPU right now because it's (kinda) become a bottleneck - at least in Cyberpunk. I'm either thinking of getting a 5800x3D so I don't have to change anything else out, or a 12700K on a DDR4 Z690 board. The latter will be a bit more expensive, but I live by a Micro Center so I'll probably be able to find a combo deal or something
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel The 6700xt in 5 years will end up like the rx580 now. You'll have plenty vram compared to a 3060ti for example (the gtx1060 analogue), but who cares if you barely reach 30 fps in demanding titles. I never understood this vram argument projected into the feature. I mean yes, you'll be able to load ultra textures but you'll play the game at 25fps. So whats the point? Better enjoy what's best currently and sell every 2-3 years when the re-sale value isn't completely gone, upgrade and repeat... Don't buy gpu's now that have strengths relevant in 5 years+ compared to current competition, because by then your card will lack severely in all the other departments.
@@adriancioroianu1704 someone else finally said it lol, nice. The whole "8GB of VRAM not being enough" controversy has seriously gotten outta hand due to so many influencers spreading FUD. It's really just like 3 games that are all very badly optimized at "ultra" 1080p texture settings. And I mean hell, the 3070ti is a stupid fast 8GB card. I wouldn't buy one, seeing as you can get better for less money now but still. It offered performance well beyond a previous gen 2080ti and I'm willing to bet most people who got one aren't so eager to upgrade from it just yet. TLDR, you're right - the 6700 XT won't be relevant forever, and while a larger memory buffer has its perks I'd much rather have whatever gives the most rasterization performance for the least amount of money I can afford
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel not everybody likes AMD's horrible software support and tech features especially when AI and Stable diffusion is very crucial now and gonna keep going to be improved in the near future
A friend of mine recently upgraded 1050 ti to the RX 580 in his ultra-low budget rig and, just as you said, the 7th gen i7 and 2400mhz ram is the real bottleneck. Great video and yes, an under-volting episode would be a great addition.
Always love me some undervolting content, cannot be spoken about too much! Also, just wanted to say, im a BIG fan of the channel, fulfills the urge to buy and try a bunch of old and niche hardware just for funsies :) Keep it up! Although you might wanna think about switching up the music a bit, its great but gets a little repetive when binging :P
Always enjoy your videos. About the undervolting, it's something I saw people do shortly after it came out. It's definitely something AMD back then screwed up when relaunching polaris. Great video!
Glad that you showed undervolting at last. Rx580 is nothing without manual tuning. There are some other optimizations I use for this card. If anyone is interested: 1. Use polaris bios editor to set ubermix memory timing which enhance bandwidth without any memory overclock (+2 ~ +3 fps everywhere) 2. Use registry mod to enable SAM on any official amd driver if system supports rebar (+10% ~ +20% avg. fps gain)
Can you give me advice for the undervolting and also this "ubermix memory timing", i would like to test some tweaks for my rx 580 (i"m with the exact one from the video)
i was also thinking of getting the 580 but ended up with the 5500xt 8gb variant, newer architecture longer driver support + rsr and other rdna features. so i think i made the better choice
Pretty happy with mine in my ultra low budget system. Glad to know with FSR I can get 60fps in today's triple A titles, don't care much at all about visuals personally. We need value GPUs like this in the new market again
I have twice upgraded now, but Rx 580 is the card I have the most sentimental attachment to. Such a hero for the price, I got mine for 220$ cad brand new back in 2019.
@@arenzricodexd4409 well sure, but sometimes that means making your game look just as ugly, usually more for the same performance. I take a blurry screen and fuzzy textures if it means the game gets to run at a smooth 60 with all the settings at high/ultra.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd that's part of the silly thing with upscaling. Use higher preset to increase image quality and then use upscaling that impact image quality in a negative way to push that FPS back up. There are ways to make the game just look as good as ultra, with high FPS to boot without using upscaling that have it's own issue.
@@arenzricodexd4409 Personally speaking, no, it's not silly at all. The biggest drawbacks of upscaling is general fuzziness. Effects, draw distance, SSAO and more can be cranked up to their highest settings and the only "drawback" is that some things will look a bit funky. The lower visual quality of upscaling is not even a straight negative as it can make up for a lack of AA, which you can turn off if you're using. Meanwhile, NOT using upscaling, I usually need to sacrifice things that are a straight negative. Losing out on effects, higher draw distance, better geometry, and ironically even image smoothness if the anti-aliasing needs to be turned off for that extra boost. Like, sure, when FSR and DLSS first came out they kind of sucked and only worked as a last resort for budget users and a big boost for 4K gamers, but now I really have no problems using FSR3. The only thing to actually bother me then is that hair looks real fuzzy, but I get used to it. Specially for the rx580, which is what I'm rocking right now, there really isn't a better compromise than turning on upscaling.
You can overclock the rx580 and still undervolt it in most of the cases. Nice vid. I know mine did before i sold it to a miner for $350... after i bought it from a miner in 2018 for $80.
during the pandemic this gpu or Polaris architecture card was some of the worst affected in term of price and miners ruined it for everyone especially when i was looking for the RX 5700xt which completely disappear from the market in my country (malaysia) and there were odd cases of eth and bitcoin miner stealing local electricity sources, and there was even a case where our government "literally" steamrolled bunch of ASICS machines confiscated from illegal mining house
@@akmaldanial4418 another fellow malaysian named Akmal?? what a couincidence haha. btw RX 580 tu ok lagi, cuma dah lapuk sikit untuk game baru singleplayer. Kalau upgrade, recommended beli RX 6600XT atau RX6700XT
Would be nice to see a video comparison of 580-8 vs 1060-6 vs some other cheap cards like 6500XT, 1660/S/Ti, Arc A380. And maybe compare it with some more powerful ones like 2060S or 3050 or whatever. I think some people still running an old 1060/580 would like to see how much of an upgrade (or not) certain options are.
@@AnEagle New or second hand? In Norway I've seen the 5700 XT down to 130 € in the used marked with the 6600 XT being more like 170-190, and €260 for a new one (5700 xt isn't in stock anymore for a reasonable price). Another maybe overlooked option in this price range if power comp is less of a concern on the used market is the 2070 (both non-super and the more beefy super variant).
WARNING : the Rx580 won't execute DirectX 12.1 games, it lacks some hardware features needed for DirectX 12.1. Therefore, some of the newest games will not run on the Rx580, and there will be more and more games that the card does not support going into the future ... P.S. I was a purchaser of Rx480 in 2016 and Rx580 in 2017 (still have it and it still works fine.)
Million percent True. Good new is I've come across a couple dozen Polaris cards that were used for mining and all but one of them works 100% fine. They were pretty good for budget PC builds with a processor like the i7-2600
In Afterburner's voltage curve editor, I selected the last five points on the curve and dragged them down by -130 Mv. In my case that meant the voltage was peaking at about 1050 Mv and dropping below 1000 fairly often. YMMV, of course.
I like the 580 but I feel it's age makes it a skeptical purchase. Sure $75 for what it gives is unbeatable but I feel it's still dubious how long it will receive support or be reliable. With rx 6600 being as low as $180 and the Rx 5600xt or 5700xt being around the $120-$150 mark it makes the 580 seem less and less appealing. I suppose if you just want a budget card that is capable of everything on the market (if barely sometimes) it truly is unbeatable value. I still think saving up for a new 6600 or trying the 5000 series from AMD or even the 20 series of RTX if you can find a good price is best when budget conscious.
I get what you mean. I have been running my 580 since february of 2019. It has done a good job, but has some issues with the HDMI sound chip and crashing here and there. A 7 year old card will break at about this time. It is a good deal still if you can't find a good deal for a 5700XT or 1080 TI like in my home country.
Had the luck to buy a rx 580 nitro + 8gb from sapphire below msrp just a month prior to the mining stuff going full mental. Served me well for years and only retired it, and my entire desktop pc, cause of a laptop. Great card imo. Now it runs in my moms pc, coupled with a r5 5600 (my nephews play fortnite/forza horizone etc on it) and i purchased a refurbished rx 580 8gb 2 month back for my father, he´s playing city skylines/transport fever 2/anno 1801 etc.), coupled with a r3 4300g.
If anyone's using this gpu with a modern platform, the best way to use it is Undervolt at 1300mhz/tuned memory with Nimez Drivers and SAM enabled, it might even pull around +10 fps in select titles.
First, you are amazing! Second, I would love to see you under volt other components as I have two legit RX 580 8GB that I am now planning to under volt for power consumption reasons. Always awesome content, really appreciate you my friend.
@@rahuld2844 Well, a year later and it's only really suffering with terribly optimized games. Alan Wake 2, the Elden Ring DLC, and some of the stuff in the video. This card is still amazing for most games.
i bought a powercolor 8gb rx580 a couple of days ago and i'm actually currently watching this on it now. so far it appears to be a pretty solid card. i got it from CEX for £78, was only one of it's kind in stock at the store so somewhat confident i've got an old gaming card
it would be great to get an undervolting video from you, not only for old gpus but new as well, specially as newer gpus like the 6800xt consume arround 300w it would be great to tame those beasts as well
Still using the ASUS Radeon RX570 8GB ROG STRIX OC GAMING with Intel i7-5960x OC to 4.4 Ghz Yes power consumption is high but the money I haven't used for a new PC can pay for electricity.
man this comment means absolutely nothing. Im tired of watching a video appearing in my recommendation and all thr comments be like HOLY SHIT DUDE YOU UNDERRATED KEEP THE GOOF WORK!!!
This year i built my first gaming pc ever with rx 580 8gb and i understand i will need to upgrade some time later but at this time i don't see why i even need better gpu as i can run all games i want 1080p with decent fps , i don't need 4k or anything like it so i'm good now and anyways half 2023 games sucks like forspoken i don't even want it so no worries about 30 fps or so
@@gamingwolf7895 haven't played Minecraft in a while but the last time I've tried I have used complementary shaders and I was getting pretty solid performance, around 60fps at 1080. AMD fixed OpenGL performance a while ago
A number of my friends still use the RX 580 8GB, I recommend back in the day as the best value option. A really good 1080p gaming card. I still use them on two backup systems, including my testbed machine for random tasks.
I built my first pc in 2022 with its little brother the rx 570. Later on, I upgraded to the rx 5600 xt which I managed to snatch for 117usd. I feel like the rdna 1 cards will be the next polaris
One thing i love about the 580 and the rest of the Polaris GPUs is how much you can tweak them and get some extra horsepower/lower consumption/lower temps basically for free Using a combination of custom drivers from AmernimeZ and a massive undervolt, i managed to get like 10+ fps in most games and got an average power consumption below 90w It's just an amazing card all around after tweaking it and for that low price i cant recommend it enough to anyone wanting to build a cheap gaming pc.
I just built my first pc since the amd athlon 64 days and bought the RX 580 to hopefully run gta 5 at decent specs and boy was I pleasantly surprised with it! I was shocked to find out I can run not only gta at high or ultra on everything it runs the resident evil 4 remake better than my Xbox series S and so far runs every game I throw at it comfortably. I went with a low budget and got a ryzen 5 3600, 16 gigs ddr4 corsair vengeance ram, a 1tb Samsung NVMe ssd, and the RX 580 hoping I’d be able to play stuff on low but everything defaults to high/medium on everything except gta that went high/ultra
400 and 500 series are something I prefer to get from a miner. Those cards ran at 1250mV and so hot. Every single one of them that was gamed on has discoloration on the back of the shroud. At lest the once that mined ran undervolted and at a constant temperature, so no thermal cycles. I actually am going to get a 580 8gb for my old 4770k rig.
RX 580 8 GB vs RX 6500XT 4 GB on the older PCIe 3.0 boards. This is a test I want to see. (Even on a very old PCIe 2.0 machine - see if the old bus vs old CPU like a fx-8350 is the bottleneck.)
Kind of random, but I think a game you should maybe consider adding to your test suite is Assetto Corsa(with mods). The reason why is not necessarily because it is a game most people would want to play, but more so because with mods it is one of the best looking and probably most demanding but still optimized games on the market(on base tracks I can run it at 60 fps mostly on my PC(its the MPG but with 16 gb of ram and an rx 570)), and it would also give people a good look at how well the system will run games with advanced physics calculations since it's a sim game.
Reminder, for something like the 580 8GB, you can put on the medium or low preset and crank textures to high. Textures give the lowest performance but the highest noticable visual fidelity. The 8GB really comming in clutch for it.
In many games medium texture already looks fine. In game like RE4R just use high 2GB or 3GB. In case of RX580 raw power is more of an issue than lack of VRAM
@@arenzricodexd4409 Dont see what this has to do with my comment. Sure Medium textures are 'fine', but the rx 580 can go High textures without that much lost in fps so why wouldn't you?
@@PostWin because many people think they need to crank the texture to high or ultra and it will give them significantly better image quality. Usually only only low looks really bad. Medium/high/ultra can look just the same unless you really try to look the details with side by side picture which is not something people not going to do when they actually play the game.
@@arenzricodexd4409 I would disagree. Medium textures look vastly different from high. Yes High doesn't look that much different from Ultra, but Medium is a step down. This of course depends on the game, but this is true for most games. Saying Medium=High=Ultra means you are saying that Medium=Ultra which for most games is simply not the case
@@PostWin this is what i concluded when comparing setting on games like control, days gone (and few others). Heck even in resident evil 4 remake while changing the amount of VRAM (for high texture) they give you sample picture how increasing the VRAM will give visible quality image improvement but when you try to look it in real time game scene it's not really there unless you play around the camera angle and try to make some object to be really close to your POV camera. But due to how the game handles the third person view in that game when you actually play the game you will not going to see many in game object that close on 99% of the time.
deeper dive on undervolting old gpus and cpus, please...a guide would be much appreciated as I'm trying to build a used pc part pc, maybe a lot of parts will be ordered from ali express
i have the 2048sp. i just learned that polaris is bad on dx11 games frequently dropping below 60fps 720p when my old gtx 1050 could maintain 60fps 720p most of the time. thankfully apex legends supports dx12
I'm still using a RX570 8GB overclock/undervolt with a i5-11400F and 32GB 3200 DDR4 on my emulation machine and it runs anything RPC3 can throw at it. For more modern titles it will manage between 30 and 60fps which is fine on a TV. For 300 quid all in it's a cheap gaming system. edit to add: my card cost 50 euro and had been 'lightly' mined although it looked absolutely like new as the miner replaced his Polaris cards for RDNA a few months into his crypto adventure.
The 12.9k Fire Strike graphics score seems very low to me. I have a 570 8GB that I've heavily BIOS modded(overclock, undervolt, tweaked VRAM timings) and it scores 14.3k at 1350core/2050mem. I've seen plenty of RX 580s in the 13.5 to 14.5k range. Did your card throttle down during the test?
I got so hyped when I found a 3080ti at Best Buy during the GPU crisis, and purchased it fearing on missing out. Then I remembered most new video have little to actually offer, and I got a 3080ti to play Half Life 2 on… Depending on your needs an RX580 can still play 90% of PA games ever made, and should consider if they cannot run the latest and greatest there are plenty of older games they may want try.
Back in 2017 Im planned to buy RX 480 (many forgot this GPU exist for some reason), that was the time of first Crypto Craze, a lot of AmD cards inflate in price so I decided to buy GTX 1060 6 GB instead
I had just that model from 2017 it served me very well never mined it was in the box i sold her during the scalper prices for 350€ and i must say i made money with her i sold the gpu for more money than i bought her new in 2017.
The alpha channel bug in FH5 is interesting. I wonder why TAA fixes, if memory serves, TAA is a post processing feature so in theory it shouldn’t impact the individual elements within the original frame. That’s proper proper weird and kinda fascinating :)
I did buy one of the 2048er's, a Lexindar and for all intents and purposes provides me with a good blanket 1080p experience on more recent titles and a decent 1440p on quite a lot of 'em too, as long as I get a fairly robust 60fps in 1440p I call that good in my book and I paid a ridiculous cheap price for a remade card compared to buying a burnt out second hand pile o' poo. I did get quite some gains from my ancient 570 it replaced, not earth shattering but generally cooler running, more spritely response, about 5-10% gain in fps say in Forza.
It's a shame Polaris didn't scale up in performance and a treat that RDNA 2 does. I have a feeling the RX6950 will be a superb value holder and a great card in 2026. Great video -the Spidey 69 was a nice touch!
Built myself a budget gaming PC prepandemic, got a 8bg 580 for $150. Still use it today for things like diablo4 - although to be honest I use my steam deck a lot more than my PC. I feel like the latest gen of APUs are probably obsoleting this card pretty hard though.
I used to run rx 480 4GB. It can reach 60 fps in multiplayer, but i had to run settings that make it look like shit, horrible blurry mess. I did see something that points to amd windows drivers not being optimized for halo infinite on rx 480. I was able to get higher fps on linux, while thats not the case with rx 6800 i upgraded to, it runs much better on windows. Not sure if thats still the same after game updates but it really looked like they didnt optimize it properly on those older amd cards.
Perhaps an idea: Do a BattleBit Remastered benchmark episode, bench marking apu's and old graphics cards playing it. It seems to be the new hot game at the moment.

A real 580 2048 SP has a unique chip with a distinct serial number from a 570... The different silicon is binned from the factory for the slightly higher clocks compared to a 570. Most of the remanufactured 580 SP's are really just 570's with a 580 SP BIOS applied for aftermarket overclocks. This is fine, if you are aware of what you are getting at a price-point... it's a minor overclock. But it's shady business. The same applies to a real 590 GME, compared to one that is just a 580 with a 590 GME BIOS applied.
Tried removing shadows before shitting on RX 580 on Witcher 3 at high? When it comes to budget - just buy SE version, because next stop is 6600, which I bought my dad for $130 last week.
Had a pair wich I sold for good money when the crypto crazyness hit. Bassicaly trading blows with the GTX 1060 6GB but with the a higher power consumption and higher temperatures. Also drivers were better on the GTX 1060 6GB. It was a nice release for the mainstream market
Even though I was able to purchase RTX 3070 brand new in 2022, I previously had RX 580 8gb card, It was a best (for budget gamers) gpu to run almost all games from 2017 to 2019-2020 all maxed out and some on high settings at 1080p even some games at 1440p with no issues, demanding gaming like RDR2, Horizon Zero Dawn and Jedi Fallen Order ran quite well.. Some modern games don't even look that good but they require high PC specs, this should be stopped, otherwise people will stop buying new gpus just like RTX 4000 series.
If you have one of those Aisurix AMD RX 580 2048 SP GPU brand they are already under volt and power saver mode I have one of those card and it can be used on a true rated 350 watts power supply bronze without having issue.
today you can buy a vega 56 or gtx1070 for only a little more (depending on your country) and I would recommend you at least look up the prices for those in your area before buying rx580 the difference between them is quite big and can be really worth it depending on the difference in price
I stay away from cards from around this time and cards like the 2000 series cards from Nvidia on the second hand market. Nearly all of them on the second hand market are ex-miner cards. You have to remember the rigs for mining would use 20+ cards. Then people would have multiple rigs going all day every day. Not that series 3000s cards second hand are free from the mining curse. Yes, Ive known people to have cards that were used on mining and nearly all of them have issues. When they re-flash the cards to sell on. Nearly all of them mess it up. Never mind they run them all day.

run OCCT standard GPU test, adjust the percentage slider so the clocks don't drop below 1360 (or whatever it is for your card) and start decreasing the voltage after reaching max temperature until it crashes or occt throws an error, then add 10mv to your last value and keep it. You can't set voltage like 1234mv (it will likely be 1235mv irl) so look up your current voltage with hwinfo sensors or MSI afterburner (unlock voltage in settings) to adjust it better. Voltage fluctuates if the GPU is loaded (load line calibration) so stop stress tests to get proper current voltage
Just got a new rx 580 brand new for $40, trying to build a budget gaming pc, what cpu and motherboard would be a good choice to complement this rx 580 as well as being future proof cpu and motherboard where I could just upgrade the gpu after a while and continue gaming with the cpu and motherboard that I’ll order now?

@@NoThisIsntMyChannel The 6700xt in 5 years will end up like the rx580 now. You'll have plenty vram compared to a 3060ti for example (the gtx1060 analogue), but who cares if you barely reach 30 fps in demanding titles. I never understood this vram argument projected into the feature. I mean yes, you'll be able to load ultra textures but you'll play the game at 25fps. So whats the point? Better enjoy what's best currently and sell every 2-3 years when the re-sale value isn't completely gone, upgrade and repeat... Don't buy gpu's now that have strengths relevant in 5 years+ compared to current competition, because by then your card will lack severely in all the other departments.
@@adriancioroianu1704 someone else finally said it lol, nice. The whole "8GB of VRAM not being enough" controversy has seriously gotten outta hand due to so many influencers spreading FUD. It's really just like 3 games that are all very badly optimized at "ultra" 1080p texture settings. And I mean hell, the 3070ti is a stupid fast 8GB card. I wouldn't buy one, seeing as you can get better for less money now but still. It offered performance well beyond a previous gen 2080ti and I'm willing to bet most people who got one aren't so eager to upgrade from it just yet. TLDR, you're right - the 6700 XT won't be relevant forever, and while a larger memory buffer has its perks I'd much rather have whatever gives the most rasterization performance for the least amount of money I can afford
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel not everybody likes AMD's horrible software support and tech features especially when AI and Stable diffusion is very crucial now and gonna keep going to be improved in the near future
“Bad old days of 2020” honestly so real
Got this with a i7 7700k, and built it just 6 months ago. Works well for 1080p 60 fps on any game im intefested in really. :) :)
It'd be amazing if you would make a video about undervolting and maybe some overclocking of older hardware. Looking forward to that!
A friend of mine recently upgraded 1050 ti to the RX 580 in his ultra-low budget rig and, just as you said, the 7th gen i7 and 2400mhz ram is the real bottleneck. Great video and yes, an under-volting episode would be a great addition.
Always love me some undervolting content, cannot be spoken about too much!
Also, just wanted to say, im a BIG fan of the channel, fulfills the urge to buy and try a bunch of old and niche hardware just for funsies :)
Keep it up!
Although you might wanna think about switching up the music a bit, its great but gets a little repetive when binging :P
Always enjoy your videos. About the undervolting, it's something I saw people do shortly after it came out. It's definitely something AMD back then screwed up when relaunching polaris. Great video!
Glad that you showed undervolting at last. Rx580 is nothing without manual tuning. There are some other optimizations I use for this card. If anyone is interested:
1. Use polaris bios editor to set ubermix memory timing which enhance bandwidth without any memory overclock (+2 ~ +3 fps everywhere)
2. Use registry mod to enable SAM on any official amd driver if system supports rebar (+10% ~ +20% avg. fps gain)
Can you give me advice for the undervolting and also this "ubermix memory timing", i would like to test some tweaks for my rx 580 (i"m with the exact one from the video)
@@БожидарБогутев someone is removing my comments. search internet, u will find it anyway
It was one of the best value gpu back in 2020 i remember at one point you could get a rx 580 for just 160$ here in Pakistan
I too bought this in covid time for 20k
Recently sold it though
Also bought mine around the same time, for about $ 239.00 here in Canada.
i was also thinking of getting the 580 but ended up with the 5500xt 8gb variant, newer architecture longer driver support + rsr and other rdna features. so i think i made the better choice
Pretty happy with mine in my ultra low budget system. Glad to know with FSR I can get 60fps in today's triple A titles, don't care much at all about visuals personally.
We need value GPUs like this in the new market again
I have twice upgraded now, but Rx 580 is the card I have the most sentimental attachment to. Such a hero for the price, I got mine for 220$ cad brand new back in 2019.
Just lower the setting if you need more FPS. sometimes that can yield better result than using FSR.
@@arenzricodexd4409 well sure, but sometimes that means making your game look just as ugly, usually more for the same performance. I take a blurry screen and fuzzy textures if it means the game gets to run at a smooth 60 with all the settings at high/ultra.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd that's part of the silly thing with upscaling. Use higher preset to increase image quality and then use upscaling that impact image quality in a negative way to push that FPS back up. There are ways to make the game just look as good as ultra, with high FPS to boot without using upscaling that have it's own issue.
@@arenzricodexd4409 Personally speaking, no, it's not silly at all.
The biggest drawbacks of upscaling is general fuzziness. Effects, draw distance, SSAO and more can be cranked up to their highest settings and the only "drawback" is that some things will look a bit funky. The lower visual quality of upscaling is not even a straight negative as it can make up for a lack of AA, which you can turn off if you're using.
Meanwhile, NOT using upscaling, I usually need to sacrifice things that are a straight negative. Losing out on effects, higher draw distance, better geometry, and ironically even image smoothness if the anti-aliasing needs to be turned off for that extra boost.
Like, sure, when FSR and DLSS first came out they kind of sucked and only worked as a last resort for budget users and a big boost for 4K gamers, but now I really have no problems using FSR3. The only thing to actually bother me then is that hair looks real fuzzy, but I get used to it. Specially for the rx580, which is what I'm rocking right now, there really isn't a better compromise than turning on upscaling.
You can overclock the rx580 and still undervolt it in most of the cases. Nice vid. I know mine did before i sold it to a miner for $350... after i bought it from a miner in 2018 for $80.
The wheel keeps turning lol
during the pandemic this gpu or Polaris architecture card was some of the worst affected in term of price and miners ruined it for everyone especially when i was looking for the RX 5700xt which completely disappear from the market in my country (malaysia) and there were odd cases of eth and bitcoin miner stealing local electricity sources, and there was even a case where our government "literally" steamrolled bunch of ASICS machines confiscated from illegal mining house

I refuse to stop commenting on how well made EVERY video of yours is until you reach wider recognition. Keep em coming!
Would be nice to see a video comparison of 580-8 vs 1060-6 vs some other cheap cards like 6500XT, 1660/S/Ti, Arc A380. And maybe compare it with some more powerful ones like 2060S or 3050 or whatever. I think some people still running an old 1060/580 would like to see how much of an upgrade (or not) certain options are.
5700xt wins everything
@@Shirouwu12 no shit sherlock
@@Shirouwu12 Depends on the country. In france, for instance the 6600XT can be obtained for 140 euros, compared to 250 for a 5700XT
@@AnEagle welp they're almost the same card so go for it
@@AnEagle New or second hand? In Norway I've seen the 5700 XT down to 130 € in the used marked with the 6600 XT being more like 170-190, and €260 for a new one (5700 xt isn't in stock anymore for a reasonable price). Another maybe overlooked option in this price range if power comp is less of a concern on the used market is the 2070 (both non-super and the more beefy super variant).
WARNING : the Rx580 won't execute DirectX 12.1 games, it lacks some hardware features needed for DirectX 12.1. Therefore, some of the newest games will not run on the Rx580, and there will be more and more games that the card does not support going into the future ... P.S. I was a purchaser of Rx480 in 2016 and Rx580 in 2017 (still have it and it still works fine.)
Million percent True.
Good new is I've come across a couple dozen Polaris cards that were used for mining and all but one of them works 100% fine. They were pretty good for budget PC builds with a processor like the i7-2600
same will be true for other old cards
Vulkan will always be an option
I'd like the precise undervolting settings to try, I have an ASRock OC 8GB RX580 and it definitely needs undervolting significantly.
In Afterburner's voltage curve editor, I selected the last five points on the curve and dragged them down by -130 Mv. In my case that meant the voltage was peaking at about 1050 Mv and dropping below 1000 fairly often. YMMV, of course.
@@IcebergTechI have same model, asus dual with hynix vram but can only do 1080mv. Lower than that will crash 😓
I like the 580 but I feel it's age makes it a skeptical purchase. Sure $75 for what it gives is unbeatable but I feel it's still dubious how long it will receive support or be reliable. With rx 6600 being as low as $180 and the Rx 5600xt or 5700xt being around the $120-$150 mark it makes the 580 seem less and less appealing.
I suppose if you just want a budget card that is capable of everything on the market (if barely sometimes) it truly is unbeatable value. I still think saving up for a new 6600 or trying the 5000 series from AMD or even the 20 series of RTX if you can find a good price is best when budget conscious.
I get what you mean. I have been running my 580 since february of 2019. It has done a good job, but has some issues with the HDMI sound chip and crashing here and there. A 7 year old card will break at about this time. It is a good deal still if you can't find a good deal for a 5700XT or 1080 TI like in my home country.
Had the luck to buy a rx 580 nitro + 8gb from sapphire below msrp just a month prior to the mining stuff going full mental. Served me well for years and only retired it, and my entire desktop pc, cause of a laptop. Great card imo.
Now it runs in my moms pc, coupled with a r5 5600 (my nephews play fortnite/forza horizone etc on it) and i purchased a refurbished rx 580 8gb 2 month back for my father, he´s playing city skylines/transport fever 2/anno 1801 etc.), coupled with a r3 4300g.
I’ve recently discovered your channel, I’ve gotta say I really enjoy your content. It’s always the small channels isn’t it xD
If anyone's using this gpu with a modern platform, the best way to use it is Undervolt at 1300mhz/tuned memory with Nimez Drivers and SAM enabled, it might even pull around +10 fps in select titles.
Thank you so much for doing this. Bought mine new for $200 in 2019 and have been happy with it since.
Yes, more under-volting could be an interesting deep-dive topic with older GPUs and maybe older CPUs.

im so happy i got my 580 right before the mining apocalypse, still going strong today and will for many years
One thing i love about the 580 and the rest of the Polaris GPUs is how much you can tweak them and get some extra horsepower/lower consumption/lower temps basically for free
Using a combination of custom drivers from AmernimeZ and a massive undervolt, i managed to get like 10+ fps in most games and got an average power consumption below 90w
It's just an amazing card all around after tweaking it and for that low price i cant recommend it enough to anyone wanting to build a cheap gaming pc.
THOUGH SELLERS ARE TELLING US THAT THEYRE NOT MINING CARDS LOL
theyre telling that the rx 580s are used in rendering and net cafes
Yes, please do a detailed, pro undervolting video on various parts!
I just built my first pc since the amd athlon 64 days and bought the RX 580 to hopefully run gta 5 at decent specs and boy was I pleasantly surprised with it! I was shocked to find out I can run not only gta at high or ultra on everything it runs the resident evil 4 remake better than my Xbox series S and so far runs every game I throw at it comfortably. I went with a low budget and got a ryzen 5 3600, 16 gigs ddr4 corsair vengeance ram, a 1tb Samsung NVMe ssd, and the RX 580 hoping I’d be able to play stuff on low but everything defaults to high/medium on everything except gta that went high/ultra
400 and 500 series are something I prefer to get from a miner. Those cards ran at 1250mV and so hot. Every single one of them that was gamed on has discoloration on the back of the shroud. At lest the once that mined ran undervolted and at a constant temperature, so no thermal cycles. I actually am going to get a 580 8gb for my old 4770k rig.
I used to have the exact Asus model until 4-5 months ago when I upgraded to a 6800XT. Damn that boy was pretty powerful
RX 580 8 GB vs RX 6500XT 4 GB on the older PCIe 3.0 boards. This is a test I want to see.
(Even on a very old PCIe 2.0 machine - see if the old bus vs old CPU like a fx-8350 is the bottleneck.)
I had nitro rx 580 8g for quite a while worked very well, now have upgraded to a rx 5700xt and wow did it make a difference
Kind of random, but I think a game you should maybe consider adding to your test suite is Assetto Corsa(with mods). The reason why is not necessarily because it is a game most people would want to play, but more so because with mods it is one of the best looking and probably most demanding but still optimized games on the market(on base tracks I can run it at 60 fps mostly on my PC(its the MPG but with 16 gb of ram and an rx 570)), and it would also give people a good look at how well the system will run games with advanced physics calculations since it's a sim game.
Reminder, for something like the 580 8GB, you can put on the medium or low preset and crank textures to high. Textures give the lowest performance but the highest noticable visual fidelity. The 8GB really comming in clutch for it.
In many games medium texture already looks fine. In game like RE4R just use high 2GB or 3GB. In case of RX580 raw power is more of an issue than lack of VRAM
@@arenzricodexd4409 Dont see what this has to do with my comment. Sure Medium textures are 'fine', but the rx 580 can go High textures without that much lost in fps so why wouldn't you?
@@PostWin because many people think they need to crank the texture to high or ultra and it will give them significantly better image quality. Usually only only low looks really bad. Medium/high/ultra can look just the same unless you really try to look the details with side by side picture which is not something people not going to do when they actually play the game.
@@arenzricodexd4409 I would disagree. Medium textures look vastly different from high. Yes High doesn't look that much different from Ultra, but Medium is a step down. This of course depends on the game, but this is true for most games. Saying Medium=High=Ultra means you are saying that Medium=Ultra which for most games is simply not the case
@@PostWin this is what i concluded when comparing setting on games like control, days gone (and few others). Heck even in resident evil 4 remake while changing the amount of VRAM (for high texture) they give you sample picture how increasing the VRAM will give visible quality image improvement but when you try to look it in real time game scene it's not really there unless you play around the camera angle and try to make some object to be really close to your POV camera. But due to how the game handles the third person view in that game when you actually play the game you will not going to see many in game object that close on 99% of the time.
deeper dive on undervolting old gpus and cpus, please...a guide would be much appreciated as I'm trying to build a used pc part pc, maybe a lot of parts will be ordered from ali express
i have the 2048sp. i just learned that polaris is bad on dx11 games frequently dropping below 60fps 720p when my old gtx 1050 could maintain 60fps 720p most of the time. thankfully apex legends supports dx12
I'm still using a RX570 8GB overclock/undervolt with a i5-11400F and 32GB 3200 DDR4 on my emulation machine and it runs anything RPC3 can throw at it. For more modern titles it will manage between 30 and 60fps which is fine on a TV. For 300 quid all in it's a cheap gaming system. edit to add: my card cost 50 euro and had been 'lightly' mined although it looked absolutely like new as the miner replaced his Polaris cards for RDNA a few months into his crypto adventure.
Dude where did you come from your great keep this up
The 12.9k Fire Strike graphics score seems very low to me. I have a 570 8GB that I've heavily BIOS modded(overclock, undervolt, tweaked VRAM timings) and it scores 14.3k at 1350core/2050mem. I've seen plenty of RX 580s in the 13.5 to 14.5k range. Did your card throttle down during the test?
I got so hyped when I found a 3080ti at Best Buy during the GPU crisis, and purchased it fearing on missing out.
Then I remembered most new video have little to actually offer, and I got a 3080ti to play Half Life 2 on…
Depending on your needs an RX580 can still play 90% of PA games ever made, and should consider if they cannot run the latest and greatest there are plenty of older games they may want try.
Cept, proper driver support for Polaris has already ended... so you're going to buy some soon-to-be paperweight or doorstopper.
Back in 2017 Im planned to buy RX 480 (many forgot this GPU exist for some reason), that was the time of first Crypto Craze, a lot of AmD cards inflate in price so I decided to buy GTX 1060 6 GB instead
I had just that model from 2017 it served me very well never mined it was in the box i sold her during the scalper prices for 350€ and i must say i made money with her i sold the gpu for more money than i bought her new in 2017.
The alpha channel bug in FH5 is interesting. I wonder why TAA fixes, if memory serves, TAA is a post processing feature so in theory it shouldn’t impact the individual elements within the original frame. That’s proper proper weird and kinda fascinating :)
Nice video, shows us how to undervolt older tech 👍🏼
I did buy one of the 2048er's, a Lexindar and for all intents and purposes provides me with a good blanket 1080p experience on more recent titles and a decent 1440p on quite a lot of 'em too, as long as I get a fairly robust 60fps in 1440p I call that good in my book and I paid a ridiculous cheap price for a remade card compared to buying a burnt out second hand pile o' poo. I did get quite some gains from my ancient 570 it replaced, not earth shattering but generally cooler running, more spritely response, about 5-10% gain in fps say in Forza.
It's a shame Polaris didn't scale up in performance and a treat that RDNA 2 does. I have a feeling the RX6950 will be a superb value holder and a great card in 2026. Great video -the Spidey 69 was a nice touch!
Built myself a budget gaming PC prepandemic, got a 8bg 580 for $150. Still use it today for things like diablo4 - although to be honest I use my steam deck a lot more than my PC.
I feel like the latest gen of APUs are probably obsoleting this card pretty hard though.
I used to run rx 480 4GB. It can reach 60 fps in multiplayer, but i had to run settings that make it look like shit, horrible blurry mess. I did see something that points to amd windows drivers not being optimized for halo infinite on rx 480. I was able to get higher fps on linux, while thats not the case with rx 6800 i upgraded to, it runs much better on windows. Not sure if thats still the same after game updates but it really looked like they didnt optimize it properly on those older amd cards.
Also CPU can use an upgrade to 5800X3D
Perhaps an idea: Do a BattleBit Remastered benchmark episode, bench marking apu's and old graphics cards playing it. It seems to be the new hot game at the moment.

A real 580 2048 SP has a unique chip with a distinct serial number from a 570... The different silicon is binned from the factory for the slightly higher clocks compared to a 570.
Most of the remanufactured 580 SP's are really just 570's with a 580 SP BIOS applied for aftermarket overclocks.
This is fine, if you are aware of what you are getting at a price-point... it's a minor overclock.
But it's shady business.
The same applies to a real 590 GME, compared to one that is just a 580 with a 590 GME BIOS applied.

Now please make one on the 2048SP variation.
I stay away from cards from around this time and cards like the 2000 series cards from Nvidia on the second hand market. Nearly all of them on the second hand market are ex-miner cards. You have to remember the rigs for mining would use 20+ cards. Then people would have multiple rigs going all day every day. Not that series 3000s cards second hand are free from the mining curse. Yes, Ive known people to have cards that were used on mining and nearly all of them have issues. When they re-flash the cards to sell on. Nearly all of them mess it up. Never mind they run them all day.
Mine is still going strong.
With the drivers for the Polaris being next on the chopping block, I'd like to see the update on this card after the phantom liberty update shows what this can do alongside the nimez drivers
What would u recommend for buying? rx 580 8GB for 121€, gtx 1060 6gb for 140€, rx 5600xt for 155€ or gtx 1080 for 188€?
All with 3 years of guarantee :)
Exploring the effects of undervolting could be fun. I love my rx5700 xt but im still playing around with its power consumption.
Due to some worying results, I wonder if Nimez drivers can prevent this wine from going sour.
I guess I'm lucky before the bull crap started and hit the fan
I actually have an RX 590 from XFX Fatboy and I also have the RX 5500 from XfX
AMD pulse 390
Also in my collection I have the Nvidia 2060 12 Gig
AMD 6600xt
Low-profile Nvidia 1650
And the last but not least so far not the last is the
AMD 7900xt 20gig
I am working on the 7950 XTX spectral White
I would love to know more about undervolting polaris! I have a light undervolt on my 580 8GB but wouldn't mind a more in-depth look.
run OCCT standard GPU test, adjust the percentage slider so the clocks don't drop below 1360 (or whatever it is for your card) and start decreasing the voltage after reaching max temperature until it crashes or occt throws an error, then add 10mv to your last value and keep it. You can't set voltage like 1234mv (it will likely be 1235mv irl) so look up your current voltage with hwinfo sensors or MSI afterburner (unlock voltage in settings) to adjust it better. Voltage fluctuates if the GPU is loaded (load line calibration) so stop stress tests to get proper current voltage
It would be cool to see old, and not only old, if you have some new stuff to undervolt. Shortly, I would love to see Undervolting tests.
Rx 580 and 5500 xt are the kings of this price bracket
Just got a new rx 580 brand new for $40, trying to build a budget gaming pc, what cpu and motherboard would be a good choice to complement this rx 580 as well as being future proof cpu and motherboard where I could just upgrade the gpu after a while and continue gaming with the cpu and motherboard that I’ll order now?
