Hey , can you please tell me how much watt your PSU is ?, am planning to buy this , RX 570 8 gb since my RX 570 4GB one died last week , my current PSU is 550 watt and I saw some reddit post that 550 watt was minimum required for 8gb variant . Just want to know that will my PSU will be sufficient or should I buy new one .
@@Vallenstien I'm rocking a 300W 80+ Bronze rates PSU. Under load while gaming the Xeon and RX draw roughly around 160-180W so I'm cutting it fine but had no issues.
I going to be pretty much stuck with my Sapphire RX 580 8gb for the foreseeable future as a single dad lol. It's a great card and will go for that extra mile on Linux too.
I had one of these recently paired with a i7-3770 it was a good budget 1080p gaming system. I sold it to someone who wanted it for their daughter, they were gaming on a basic laptop so this would represent a big step up for them.
i remember when me and my brother went from hd 6970 2gb to rx 570 8gb... The gain was so massive we couldnt believe our eyes. It was paired with ryzen 1500x.
This GPU according to chatGPT was $229 CAD when released which is 129.77 gbp approx...I still rock a 590 GME Sapphire from China, the fancy blue one with 4790K rig....great card still!
I did ask co-pilot and it said it didn't know. I can only go by the fact that the 570 4GB was apparently £150-£160 at launch and the odd reference I could find in old forums of people saying they picked one up for around £170. Either way I am guessing it was under £200 which must have been a bargain for the performance it had back then.
We had 3 RX 580 8Gb gpus when they launched. All of the driver issues aside (which were not anything like nvidia fans like to make them out ot be) we have been astonished how well they have held on. I did get a 590 at 1 point before going right into a 1080Ti. During the lockdown drought the 580 took on a whole knew demand but I have to admit we never once gave any thought to the 570 8gb. We are glad you did a video on it. A gpu you can pick up for 60 quid that performs very well in modern 1080p is a breath of fresh air for budget and new comer gamers. Regardless of support , this series of card will last another 5 or 6 years in 1080p gaming. Maybe it wont handle some of the current and future AAA games but let us all admit the current stock of games are absolute crap. All graphics based, no content.
A lot of great points there. in fact, even based on my testing in this video, if you don't even want to play Alan Wake 2 it will be fine for most still at 1080p
Not sure that Polaris had *any* driver issues at all? Unless you're talking about Wattman being bugged (for about a week until they fixed it forever)? I had dozens of 470's/480's/etc for builds from the day they came out and never had any problems with Polaris.
Couple weeks ago I was testing Sapphire Nitro + RX570 4GB. I was plying Diablo 4 in 4K with FSR medium settings in over 60fps. Fun fact - this gpu paired with R5 1500X could handle Warzone in 2017 in 4K with textures set to high and I was getting over 60fps.

I think if AMD went ahead with its plan to drop support for the 500 series, it would be an incredibly stupid move, especially when NVIDIA is still supporting some 700 series cards released a few years before this one. At this point, the economic situation favors either holding on to older, capable cards, or scouring the used markets for slightly newer ones at comparable prices. Listen to your customers, and you will be successful.
what are you talking about ? Nvidia droped the support for 1000 cards already and they droped the support for 700 cards way faster, but if you compare it like this then the Rx500 cards are still supported they dont get game updates this is all, the gtx 1000 series dont get any updates, what are you talking about ? the 700 cards dont got any updates in 2016 anymore before the Rx500 even released. Really a shame when somebody dont understand the difference between support and fanboyism. The only cards that have support are RTX 3000 and 4000 cards the support on 3000 cards is limited, The support on AMD side is for 6000 and 7000 cards, limited support for 6000 cards but way better then RTX 3000 for sure because you get atleast alot of Feautures on that cards meanwhile Dlss locks older cards out but to be honest what Nvidia did with the RTX 3000 cards is a crime itself. The RTX 4000 cards are all bad it just get better at RTX 4070ti and up but they cost so much compare to everything else. And why ? YOu wont belive it 12gb vram is not enough even in 2024 and if you play in 1440p you will need more then 12gb vram otherwise you are a just coping too hard. 16 gb is what you need right now as minimum to get atleast one or two more years without upgrading.
@@allxtend4005 incorrect. I have watched a couple of GPU review videos from the past month. The 10 series was using the latest version of drivers, not legacy, or whatever NVIDIA calls it. There are rumors that the 700 and 900 series will be losing support sometime in the future, but NVIDIA hasn’t confirmed anything yet.
Awesome. I still use the Sapphire Nitro 8gb as my daily driver PC. Which is mostly work and general computing, but some gaming too. I played a whole run of Cyberpunk on it, with the FX6300.
i upgraded from 1050 ti to rx 570 8gb, and its a decent upgrade. but i don't recommend it for most ppl, cuz u can buy rx 580. or if u are a fan of the green team u can buy 1070, because in my country they are on the same price. i got mine rx 570 8gb for free, thats why i don't ''follow'' my tips 🤣. amazing vid, recently started watching your content and i love it.
Oh yeah, get a GTX 1070/1070Ti if you can find one for the same price. Unfortunately here the 1070 seems to still go for double what these RX 570's go for which is annoying because I really want one to play around with lol
@TechLabUK currently have the rx580 xfx oc 8gb model, I have a sapphire rx570 8gb model, also have a maxsun rx580, about to get a sapphire 580. I've got about another 4 of each card from various manufacturers. All in systems at the moment. Just recalling the ones I remember ha ha. Think most are xfx models of some sort. Oh and an asus rog strix 580.
@TechLabUK thank you it is indeed! Self taught pc builder since 2019, started with a z220 upgrade, and carried on. toyed with the idea of a channel like yours too. Love watching these videos
I was just testing an MSI one yesterday with a Ryzen 2200G, actually inspired by another one of your videos. Not much slower than the RX580, and practically the same as the 2048SP variant with the same shaders. Unfortunately, mine artifacts/crashes or refuses to boot sometimes. I repasted it but am still having issues. Thinking about hitting it with a heat gun.
Polaris is not to be sniffed at. Still solid performance. Heck, seeing both CB2077 and Hogwarts Legacy running so smooth (with slight sacrifices to fidelity), I'm sitting here wondering if I my upgrade to RX 6650XT was even necessary. A mix of AMD's "Fine wine" and proper game-optimizations from the developers just hows that these 6-7 year old cards can still pull their weight.
Just bought a used rx580 8GB for 50€. After watching this Video i think it was a good deal. During the gpu crysis the 580 was sold for over 400€… And today, they sell the rx570 as rx580/2048. Thats just possible because the 570 is a strong little brother of the legendary 580
i bought the rx580 8gb back then in 2017 for around 230€ i think Saphire edition and it was a good card untill i was changing to 1440p and upgraded to a Rx5700xt but nowdays even the Rx5700xt is not enough for 1440p High Refresh gaming if you want to play everything on high/ultra. But as a Budged card the AMD cards are awesome, everyone say the GTX 1080/ti is a good card but in reality they are not, they was made for 4k / 1440p High refresh, and not for 1080p barely over 100 FPS if not even lower. The Rx5700/xt is way better and always was because it was not a 4k card and people who bought it, bought it for 1080p/1440p what they can use it nowdays still for, and who belives that someone who bought the highest end card at the release will use it for 1080p years after ? Nobody who is playing on 4k/WQ HD will go back to 1080p.
if i had a 570 now i would still be happy, but i've been on integrated graphics this whole time so i'm looking to futureproof with the 7600XT or better, AV1 and 12GB VRAM is a minimum for mid range gpus nowadays.
My friend had a computer shop back then, I'd hang out there through the week while I was at Uni during the day. He was a small outfit, and sold the RX470 for £190 and the 1050Ti for £180. Thing is, my friend bought the RX470's from trade supplier at a lower price than he did the 1050Ti's, so he made more money selling the AMD cards. Shouldn't have been a problem, right? Wrong. I shit you not, about 8 out of 10 people who came into the shop with £200 for a GPU left with a 1050Ti. Cos Nvidia. They'd all heard AMD bad drivers, slow cards, hot cards, etc. All the usual nonsense. We even benched both cards in front of customers, on the testing bench, showing them the Polaris whooping the 1050Ti in whatever game they played. DIDN'T MATTER! We hardly persuaded anyone to change their minds, especially the younger kids. So 8 out of 10 people left, having saved just £10, with a 1050Ti that could do what? 35fps in modern games high settings? When they could have had a 470 that did almost double that FPS. You can't fix stupid. Also the 1060 outsold the 580 by a good 600% too, both were the same price, and while the performance gap was a LOT smaller than between the 1050Ti/470, the AMD card was still faster by 5-10%. No wonder Nvidia get away with charging £400 for a 4060 in 2023/4! They've figured out how stupid PC gamers are! XD
These cards are ideal for kids build they still play all the games a kid would want to play Roblox Fortnite and Minecraft the likes and can still play most higher end games too
Definitely, nothing wrong with throwing them in a system for a kid to play those types of games and even it's even better that there are literally 1000's of cheap games out there that will run on them so loads of entertainment.
Those AMD cards seem to work outstanding for my needs and they are still actively putting out drivers for them. I have a Gigabyte Aorus 570 4GB, 470 8GB Nitro, and an RX 580 8GB that is currently in an Intel I7-4790K build but wanted to ask you guys if it is better to pair AMD cards with AMD CPUS's and Nvidia cards with Intel? If so what is behind the reasoning for that? Great channel, much appreciate it, cheers to all from the desert SW US.
Except that Nvidia shifted task scheduling to your CPU many generations back, while AMD still does it on their GPUs. So if you are running a lesser CPU (any brand), an AMD GPU may be a better match. Even on a Ryzen 5600, the RTX 4090 is slower than the XTX7900, because the 4090 scheduling burden is so great. @@TechLabUK
Fantastic value tbh even with the drivers being slowed down. I really didn't think I would get a playable experience across all those games, although a lot of it is thanks to AMDs FSR but that doesn't matter if it works.
I like this guy's content (It's great!) AND I hate to rain on people's parades.. But this card is old and weak with no driver support in 2024. The $100 (U.S) used card market these days is great. It's possible to get gtx 1070ti's/1080's/rx5700's/rtx 2060/2070's on used deals these days. (I know local markets can vary GREATLY on price and selection.) Value vs cost. Last week, an acquaintance wanted to upgrade their video card, I put an ad on our local marketplace: "I need a graphics card today for $100 FIRM". Within a couple of hours we got a rtx 2060. Works fine. Your mileage will vary. If you are kid or live in a developing country then enjoy what you can get, otherwise I'd get something better.
I doubt many people are really going to go out hunting for these now for serious gaming, they are just cheap and fun for low end systems or specific retro use cases. It's just great to see how those who still have them from previous systems can still play new games.
I have actually never had one before, I have this RX 570 and an 8GB RX 580 and both IMO are great GPUs so I can only imagine the RX 590 is even better. I will keep an eye out for one and will test it as soon as I can, I just don't think they are that cheap right now or at least weren't the last time I looked so will hunt for a good deal.
We loved ours but the 580s were more reliable just based on overheating and stable game play. In 2018 we had 100hz asus monitors and the 580 felt graphically more stable as we would easily game 10 hours a day back then and the 590 would demand cooldown time. Edit: with cooling options and case upgrades today being much better than 7 years ago, I doubt the 590 would have any of the cooling issues of yesterday, Especially if it was paired with an am4 board and a ryzen 2600 or 3600. It would still have the cooling issues of yesterday on an am3 platform with the old hot chips like the fx8350
@@WTBMrGrey That is only true if you are completely missing the point of price. The 5500xt is a superior budget 8gb gpu. 40% the wrong way on the price tag. In a world of budget gaming, and we are talking no money budget for performance, £60 is easier to come by than £110+
It doesn't have the Mesh Shaders that Alan Wake needs to run properly, and the drivers can't provide what the hardware Polaris doesn't have, so there's no driver update possible. Thx for the video 😄
I think Alan Wake 2 requires DirectX 12 Ultimate, mesh shader support specifically. I don't think the hardware is capable of it even if they wanted to release a driver, same for GTX 10 series.
i don't know really nothing about graphics card but some one gave me this for free and i wonder if this a good card for video editing (power director and magix movie studio 2025) basically for 4k videos
I've had this exact XFX model since 2020 and I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon since I mostly emulate 2000s consoles and play stuff that's older than 2021. Top tip, if you mod the BIOS, you can extract 580-like performance out of it, especially by optimizing the VRAM timings (Polaris architecture benefits massively from VRAM optimization). Mine will clock up to 1220MHz with a 90W power limit or 1350MHz at 130W. Also, many of the 570 8GBs come with memory modules rated for 2000MHz, so that's an easy 250MHz overclock with no issues.
@@richardmcgowan1651 Not a good upgrade because it only has 6GB of VRAM. Some games already go over 7GB on my 570. I know the 1660S should be faster in almost all cases, but I'm not "upgrading" to a GPU with less VRAM. I'm probably going to upgrade to a new 70-80tier GPU from AMD or Intel when I'll feel like I need it.
there's no new driver for this series of cards. New games started to not work on it also games like Hunt: Showdown is broken because of outdated driver. So even though the card itself might be fine due to lack of driver support this card is dead.
Yeah now bcs of Hunt i kinda have to upgrade to another Card. Crazy it lasted well for 5 years now and i still would love to wait and see if they fix the issues, but i guess they wont ..
Alan wake 2, cyberpunk 2077 path tracing, portal rtx, quake 2 rtx, metro exodus enhanced edition all will not run on thia card. A used rtx 2060 super is better value now
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 Those games will barely run on an RTX 2060 Super anyway. If you are looking to buy a £50 budget GPU you aren’t looking to play games with Ray / Path Tracing.
You're not serious with this comment, are you? Of course those games wont run, but neither will they run well on a 2060. Someone on a tight budget looking to buy an RX 570 in 2024 is definitely not interested in playing path traced games.

16 gb is what you need right now as minimum to get atleast one or two more years without upgrading.
They did "drop support" but you could still use older drivers. Does not matter much, since they are polished as much as they could be.
@@allxtend4005 12gb vram is enough for 1440p. R
Rx 7700xt has 12gb vram
@@allxtend4005 incorrect. I have watched a couple of GPU review videos from the past month. The 10 series was using the latest version of drivers, not legacy, or whatever NVIDIA calls it. There are rumors that the 700 and 900 series will be losing support sometime in the future, but NVIDIA hasn’t confirmed anything yet.
Awesome. I still use the Sapphire Nitro 8gb as my daily driver PC. Which is mostly work and general computing, but some gaming too. I played a whole run of Cyberpunk on it, with the FX6300.
That's awesome tbh
i upgraded from 1050 ti to rx 570 8gb, and its a decent upgrade. but i don't recommend it for most ppl, cuz u can buy rx 580. or if u are a fan of the green team u can buy 1070, because in my country they are on the same price. i got mine rx 570 8gb for free, thats why i don't ''follow'' my tips 🤣. amazing vid, recently started watching your content and i love it.
Oh yeah, get a GTX 1070/1070Ti if you can find one for the same price. Unfortunately here the 1070 seems to still go for double what these RX 570's go for which is annoying because I really want one to play around with lol
I have a collection of rx580s and 570s. Both amazing cards! Really stand up to modern systems. Have there limits but great for low to mid, range.
Sounds awesome tbh What kind of models you got there? I do have a boxed Sapphire nitro+ RX 580 8GB which is pretty sweet.
@TechLabUK currently have the rx580 xfx oc 8gb model, I have a sapphire rx570 8gb model, also have a maxsun rx580, about to get a sapphire 580. I've got about another 4 of each card from various manufacturers. All in systems at the moment. Just recalling the ones I remember ha ha. Think most are xfx models of some sort. Oh and an asus rog strix 580.
@@itzbriney1251 No way, that’s a sweet collection 😍
@TechLabUK thank you it is indeed! Self taught pc builder since 2019, started with a z220 upgrade, and carried on. toyed with the idea of a channel like yours too. Love watching these videos
@@itzbriney1251 I got back into it around 2019/2020 after about a 10 year break and was amazed at how much things had changed.
I was just testing an MSI one yesterday with a Ryzen 2200G, actually inspired by another one of your videos. Not much slower than the RX580, and practically the same as the 2048SP variant with the same shaders. Unfortunately, mine artifacts/crashes or refuses to boot sometimes. I repasted it but am still having issues. Thinking about hitting it with a heat gun.
Oh man that is a shame. If it's too bad can't be much harm in trying something to fix it. Hope you have some luck with it.
I was just playing with this very card. You should see how well the performance can be increased with a larger cooler. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I’m rocking with a Ryzen 7 1700x and the RX 570 8gb. It runs amazing!
So cool to see these things still being enjoyed. Not tried a 1700x tbh, I do have a 1700 at the studio though... somewhere.
Polaris is not to be sniffed at.
Still solid performance.
Heck, seeing both CB2077 and Hogwarts Legacy running so smooth (with slight sacrifices to fidelity), I'm sitting here wondering if I my upgrade to RX 6650XT was even necessary.
A mix of AMD's "Fine wine" and proper game-optimizations from the developers just hows that these 6-7 year old cards can still pull their weight.
A lot of it is thanks to FSR with these older cards though but tbh it doesn't matter. If it works it works :D
I bought it for 65€, works well!! Used with Intel i3 9th gen
Just bought a used rx580 8GB for 50€. After watching this Video i think it was a good deal.
During the gpu crysis the 580 was sold for over 400€…
And today, they sell the rx570 as rx580/2048.
Thats just possible because the 570 is a strong little brother of the legendary 580
i bought the rx580 8gb back then in 2017 for around 230€ i think Saphire edition and it was a good card untill i was changing to 1440p and upgraded to a Rx5700xt but nowdays even the Rx5700xt is not enough for 1440p High Refresh gaming if you want to play everything on high/ultra.
But as a Budged card the AMD cards are awesome, everyone say the GTX 1080/ti is a good card but in reality they are not, they was made for 4k / 1440p High refresh, and not for 1080p barely over 100 FPS if not even lower.
The Rx5700/xt is way better and always was because it was not a 4k card and people who bought it, bought it for 1080p/1440p what they can use it nowdays still for, and who belives that someone who bought the highest end card at the release will use it for 1080p years after ? Nobody who is playing on 4k/WQ HD will go back to 1080p.
@@allxtend4005 I went from a 580 to a 5600XT. Both cards served me well, and I paid £170 for the Pulse 580 and £250 for the Merc 5600XT.
if i had a 570 now i would still be happy, but i've been on integrated graphics this whole time so i'm looking to futureproof with the 7600XT or better, AV1 and 12GB VRAM is a minimum for mid range gpus nowadays.
still using that xfx 580 even its older card it still a great card for a budget build
Great to see another of this generation still being loved. Awesome generation from AMD.
My friend had a computer shop back then, I'd hang out there through the week while I was at Uni during the day. He was a small outfit, and sold the RX470 for £190 and the 1050Ti for £180. Thing is, my friend bought the RX470's from trade supplier at a lower price than he did the 1050Ti's, so he made more money selling the AMD cards. Shouldn't have been a problem, right?
Wrong. I shit you not, about 8 out of 10 people who came into the shop with £200 for a GPU left with a 1050Ti. Cos Nvidia. They'd all heard AMD bad drivers, slow cards, hot cards, etc. All the usual nonsense. We even benched both cards in front of customers, on the testing bench, showing them the Polaris whooping the 1050Ti in whatever game they played. DIDN'T MATTER! We hardly persuaded anyone to change their minds, especially the younger kids. So 8 out of 10 people left, having saved just £10, with a 1050Ti that could do what? 35fps in modern games high settings? When they could have had a 470 that did almost double that FPS.
You can't fix stupid.
Also the 1060 outsold the 580 by a good 600% too, both were the same price, and while the performance gap was a LOT smaller than between the 1050Ti/470, the AMD card was still faster by 5-10%.
No wonder Nvidia get away with charging £400 for a 4060 in 2023/4! They've figured out how stupid PC gamers are! XD
These cards are ideal for kids build they still play all the games a kid would want to play Roblox Fortnite and Minecraft the likes and can still play most higher end games too
Definitely, nothing wrong with throwing them in a system for a kid to play those types of games and even it's even better that there are literally 1000's of cheap games out there that will run on them so loads of entertainment.
Those AMD cards seem to work outstanding for my needs and they are still actively putting out drivers for them. I have a Gigabyte Aorus 570 4GB, 470 8GB Nitro, and an RX 580 8GB that is currently in an Intel I7-4790K build but wanted to ask you guys if it is better to pair AMD cards with AMD CPUS's and Nvidia cards with Intel? If so what is behind the reasoning for that? Great channel, much appreciate it, cheers to all from the desert SW US.
It's not better to use AMD GPUs with AMD CPU's tbh. They work the same.
@@TechLabUK - Ah another myth busted thank you!
Except that Nvidia shifted task scheduling to your CPU many generations back, while AMD still does it on their GPUs. So if you are running a lesser CPU (any brand), an AMD GPU may be a better match. Even on a Ryzen 5600, the RTX 4090 is slower than the XTX7900, because the 4090 scheduling burden is so great.
@@TechLabUK
Snatched one for pretty cheap and it's a good value :3
Fantastic value tbh even with the drivers being slowed down. I really didn't think I would get a playable experience across all those games, although a lot of it is thanks to AMDs FSR but that doesn't matter if it works.
Polaris was a great architecture! I'm still using a Vega56 so not far off!
I like this guy's content (It's great!) AND I hate to rain on people's parades.. But this card is old and weak with no driver support in 2024. The $100 (U.S) used card market these days is great. It's possible to get gtx 1070ti's/1080's/rx5700's/rtx 2060/2070's on used deals these days. (I know local markets can vary GREATLY on price and selection.)
Value vs cost.
Last week, an acquaintance wanted to upgrade their video card, I put an ad on our local marketplace: "I need a graphics card today for $100 FIRM". Within a couple of hours we got a rtx 2060. Works fine. Your mileage will vary.
If you are kid or live in a developing country then enjoy what you can get, otherwise I'd get something better.
I doubt many people are really going to go out hunting for these now for serious gaming, they are just cheap and fun for low end systems or specific retro use cases. It's just great to see how those who still have them from previous systems can still play new games.
What is your opinion on the XFX RX590? I know it runs a bit warmer and it is an 8GB card too.
I have actually never had one before, I have this RX 570 and an 8GB RX 580 and both IMO are great GPUs so I can only imagine the RX 590 is even better. I will keep an eye out for one and will test it as soon as I can, I just don't think they are that cheap right now or at least weren't the last time I looked so will hunt for a good deal.
We loved ours but the 580s were more reliable just based on overheating and stable game play. In 2018 we had 100hz asus monitors and the 580 felt graphically more stable as we would easily game 10 hours a day back then and the 590 would demand cooldown time.
Edit: with cooling options and case upgrades today being much better than 7 years ago, I doubt the 590 would have any of the cooling issues of yesterday, Especially if it was paired with an am4 board and a ryzen 2600 or 3600. It would still have the cooling issues of yesterday on an am3 platform with the old hot chips like the fx8350
The RX 5500 XT 8gb is a better choice than a 590 👍
@@WTBMrGrey 5000 series would be better even just for continued driver support but seem quite rare here to find.
@@WTBMrGrey That is only true if you are completely missing the point of price. The 5500xt is a superior budget 8gb gpu. 40% the wrong way on the price tag. In a world of budget gaming, and we are talking no money budget for performance, £60 is easier to come by than £110+
It doesn't have the Mesh Shaders that Alan Wake needs to run properly, and the drivers can't provide what the hardware Polaris doesn't have, so there's no driver update possible. Thx for the video 😄
Technically the GTX 1080Ti doesn't have the same mesh shaders but the game runs.
Which drivers are they running
We ran it with the latest from AMD.
Time to find the vega56 xfx double card good luck!!!!!!!!
nice card for the money.
Great little card still.
Where is the VRAM ussage?
It served me well but I’m moving to Nvidia to get ray tracing along with replacing my 10 year old monitor for a new 2K BENQ.
I think Alan Wake 2 requires DirectX 12 Ultimate, mesh shader support specifically. I don't think the hardware is capable of it even if they wanted to release a driver, same for GTX 10 series.
Maybe to get a decent performance from it but I have run Alan Wake 2 on 10 series cards and it will play, just about.
@@TechLabUK You can run it in Linux, because Photon, I think.
i don't know really nothing about graphics card but some one gave me this for free and i wonder if this a good card for video editing (power director and magix movie studio 2025) basically for 4k videos
Do y’all know any office computers that would fit this?
Probably loads, will need something with a 450w PSU or above and a spare 8Pin PCIe connector though.
I've had this exact XFX model since 2020 and I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon since I mostly emulate 2000s consoles and play stuff that's older than 2021. Top tip, if you mod the BIOS, you can extract 580-like performance out of it, especially by optimizing the VRAM timings (Polaris architecture benefits massively from VRAM optimization). Mine will clock up to 1220MHz with a 90W power limit or 1350MHz at 130W. Also, many of the 570 8GBs come with memory modules rated for 2000MHz, so that's an easy 250MHz overclock with no issues.
I was doing the same with my 570 8GB. Depending on how you feel about used cards. The 1660 super is a perfect upgrade if you can get a good example.
@@richardmcgowan1651 Not a good upgrade because it only has 6GB of VRAM. Some games already go over 7GB on my 570. I know the 1660S should be faster in almost all cases, but I'm not "upgrading" to a GPU with less VRAM. I'm probably going to upgrade to a new 70-80tier GPU from AMD or Intel when I'll feel like I need it.
Old stuff always better
I just got an xfx rx 580 gonna undervolt soon
HEY BRO SO YOU NEED A THUMBNAIL EDITOR?
Not really, I edit my own.

Still to get my hands on an RX 590, they just seem expensive still here.
@@TechLabUK
I even have the RX 5500 XT from ASUS still working on the other two for my collection
there's no new driver for this series of cards. New games started to not work on it also games like Hunt: Showdown is broken because of outdated driver. So even though the card itself might be fine due to lack of driver support this card is dead.
Yeah now bcs of Hunt i kinda have to upgrade to another Card. Crazy it lasted well for 5 years now and i still would love to wait and see if they fix the issues, but i guess they wont ..
God help the newbies. Not a single one will get this performance if they assume this is true.
Well they will, because it literally performs the way it's shown in the video.
Add timestamps
Whoops. Some have been added.
Sorry, but 57fps with FSR+FG is just not playay.
It's more than playable.
@@TechLabUK everyone has their tolerances for latency and frametime spikes.

@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 Those games will barely run on an RTX 2060 Super anyway. If you are looking to buy a £50 budget GPU you aren’t looking to play games with Ray / Path Tracing.
You're not serious with this comment, are you? Of course those games wont run, but neither will they run well on a 2060. Someone on a tight budget looking to buy an RX 570 in 2024 is definitely not interested in playing path traced games.
