Vega 56 is basically the same price sometimes cheaper. Drawbacks are, you need a beefy PSU and most of them have been mining, but it's not like the RX 580 was not 🥸.
RX 580 user here. The "UEFI to CSM" issue can be fixed through a stock VBIOS flash from the vendor's website. 99% of the cards at launch had seen a VBIOS update barely a week or two after, which seemed to have been targetted towards the aforementioned issue in particular. I have an AORUS Non-XTR model and a VBIOS flash fixed it. I did own the MSI model too at some point, (before it imploded due to being heavily used in mining by the previous seller), and a VBIOS flash fixed it as well.
I actually bought a used XFX RX580 XXX Edition for $89 a month before COVID hit and the prices went up on graphics cards without realizing it to go with a R5 2600x processor. Fast forward years later and I am able to play games like Diablo 4 with zero issues.
Yep. My son and I had basically identical systems to yours. We played fortnight and war zone no problem at all. I've upgrade to 5600ryzen5 and a 6700xt 12gb GPU now. My son still uses his 580 and has 3600r5. We use Linux for a lot of our gaming and only use windows for games that require windows and AMD GPUs just work.
Bought a 580 last year for my new PC because I couldn't afford a better gpu at the time. Used it for a year and I was very surprised at how well it performed. I upgraded to RX 6900xt a few months ago and I'm really happy with team red so far!
Just completed my pc build this month and I bought this gpu but only the 2048sp because I like the lower power consumption. The performance is great despite it's age and can comfortably play games like Elden ring, Rdr2, and sport games at high fps 1080p

This card aged like a fine wine. Seriously, AMD did a great job making drivers for Polaris better year after year. It's unfortunate that driver support has ended, but still, considering how cheap these cards are, there's no reason not to pick them up for your budget build.

I own a 2048sp model, one thing the lad didn't mention and I would SUGGEST taking into consideration A LOT is the "power connection" of the graphic card. For example, mine has a 6pin, therefore I cannot overvclock it. If you have an 8pin module, you could possibly give it a bump or another at gpu's core freq or perhaps memory freq - Or even both, thats the point. But if so is yours 6 pin, it can be dangerous perhaps at full power. I wouldn't, the gain is minimal though... LEARNING how to set up the game/application is more important than anything. It is a great graphic card, even the 2048sp. I do not regret it at all. But I would have bought a 6600 model instead, as it uses less energy and is certainly better. If you feel like your rx 580 is not good, change your desktop to 1280x720p and try using that resolution. That gpu is A BEAST, and it OVERKILLS at 720p. It can 1080p "medium", but it shines a LOT at a smaller resolution. That would be probably my piece of advice, maybe. Also, you don't need to run everything on ultra, put textures high (it usually takes it well for it's 8gb ram), the rest medium/low (idk, we talking bout NOTHING, swing around, it might even take things with ease at ultra as well) and you will get to understand the sweetspot to obtain an amazing performance. And if you're annoyed that yours is 2048sp, accept it, the performance drop is around 10~13%, usually around 7~14 fps, get your shit done, in most cases it wouldn't change a thing. Be happy instead, this gpu is amazing anyway, and there are "unnoficial" FSR ways to increase it's performance even more. I love to see it thriving... In the end, i'm just a humble man!
i came wo any broadcasting knowledge at all so im still learning, but doesnt mean can be treated unequally, if theyre good and profitable then profitable why the long route
Considering the new cards have clock speeds twice as high, the performance is still decent. Can’t imagine how this card would have performed at 1.9 GHz if it was possible, I would say this arhitecture was legendary! I’ve gotten mine in 2019 for 200€ and it has been enough. Quite a long time 😊
Replaced my 580 for 7900 xtx recently, but I was very happy with 580 for number of years. Recording with AMD ReLive didn't affect my framerate at all (to the point I'd notice). For $70 or so, it's an absolute steal.
The RX580 is the AK-47 of budget cards: cheap, reliable champ of the people that does the basic thing you ask it to do. I think the RX6700 XT will inherit that title next.
As saturated as the budget tech space is with Polaris GPU recommendations, it's for good reason These are still the absolute cheapest bang for buck cards I can get in my area, with 470s as low as $20 per and 8GB 480s/580s for like $40. As much as I'd like to buy more interesting cards for the budget builds they do, nothing even comes close for that price unless I stumble across the rare unicorn deal. Hope to see the sub $100 (really the sub $50) used market begin to offer newer or more interesting alternatives soon. Some of the 900 series cards are hovering down towards a similar price point which is nice to see. Great video as always! Look forward to whenever/whatever the next one is :)
for anyone tryna play warzone,you can get between 80-90 fps using the right settings.i get about 80-90 fps and i got a rx580 with a ryzen 5500 and 12 gigs of ram
I have one of the 2048sp models of the RX580 in my spare PC (paired with a Ryzen 5 1600AF and 16GB of 3200Mhz DDR4). It'd be worth trying the custom drivers for your card as the results I get in Hogwarts Legacy and Spider-Man are almost exactly the same but with a few settings turned up.
i just picked one up for £54 (including postage) to replace my gtx 1050 ti. given the price i got it for, i may be able to make this a free upgrade if i sell the 1050. the speed will be nice, but i'm also very excited to go from 4 to 8gb of vram. i'm hoping to upgrade my modded fallout 4 from the choppy 30-50fps i get rn :)
I have the rx590 fatboy and did great when i got it in 2020 upgrading from rx280 to play at 1080 some 1440 games. Now it it is in my back up pc and gaming on evga 2080ti which is amazIng card today. Been wanting to upgrade but to have amazing jump again the card needs to be over a 4070 or 7800xt
Yeah at this point I will wait until 5xxx or new AMD and build a whole new rig for 4k as 2080ti undervolt OC gets me solid 60fps for the non fps games as mainly rts gamer.
@@ilikesinging7 that's not what I meant. If you are looking to build a rig specifically focussed on older titles, this would be a great buy. I have one of these as a spare GPU on my shelf, I know they are more than capable 😉
This baby carried me during the pandemic, prices were crazy back then, and I found a powercolor one at a very reasonable price. i will use to build my niece a basic school computer desktop.
On one of my computers my 3070ti oc die and i put my 580 8gb xfx and your right some times i had to reboot the computer like 5 times but when it works 💪 i running the games i play on it i ran perfectly. 5800x3d 2x8 3600 cl14 . I'm very happy with my new 4070 super . The funny part i have a cheap rx 460 4 gb to work on computers and it work every time i boot my 5800x3d pc. That's why I don't sale my old computer parts i save them for emergency purposes only ond fix computers especially the 460 4gb because it runs only in the gpu slot no power card.
Underrated card really. I always picked used RX 580 for cheap build if anyone asking for a draft. RX 580 pack power and if they just playing single player games or emulators, it will more than enough to have decent gaming experience
Wow, man you have perfect selection of hardware for a review) I always return into your channel to make decision when buying old stuff (hello from ryzen 3600 😄, that by the way now in pair with RX580 8Gb) Best wishes to You!
S.A.M. does work with the RX580. It works for the RX570 too. I've had both. The mobo has to be capable. Even if the drivers say that S.A.M is not turned on, if it's turned on in BIOS, it's running.
The motherboard is capable, every other recent AMD GPU that I played around with such as 5700 XT, 6600 XT and RX 6800 all have SAM. Once I install the RX 580 it isn't available, even with resizable bar enabled in the BIOS.
@@RATechYT I used to run a Gigabyte Intel 10th Gen Board. I had the "Above 4G, and Resize Bar setting" in BIOS. With the RX570, and 580, in the Adrenaline drivers, it never said it was Enabled. Always greyed out. But, (from a RUclips Vid) look in Device Manager/Display Adapter/Properties/Resources. If it's says "Large Memory Range" on top, S.A.M. is Enabled regardless what AMD Adrenaline says. It did it with both cards. I even benched them before and after. After was definitely faster.
i wanted to build a low end pc to play pc-exclusive games like phasmophobia, battlebit remastered, and portal with my friends and I think I will have a great time using this card!
Im building a couple budget pcs to sell (xeon mobo cpu ram combos) and am looking for a decent gpu to pair with it. the 580's price tag on ali has definitely increased since last time I got 2 off there. I think the popularity of the 2048 cards boosted their sales and sellers caught on and upped prices. Sad to see, im just looking for 2 cards at around 50-60 each to pair with the xeons. I saw a 1060 6gb for $50 on craigslist and will probably go with that
Hello bro please help me. Im building my first pc and the gpus that fit my budget are rx 580 8gb sapphire nitro+ it has good temps and physical condition but it was used in mining, theseller is reputable and goving me 2 months refund, repair warranty but not dead warranty meaning that if the card goes dead in 2 months he wont replace it. Second option i have is rx 580 4gb the seller said it hasn't been used for mining and is cheaper than the 8 gb variant, 3rd option is the gtx 970 4gb and 4th is 1060 6gb which is also not used in mining but it is expensive a bit. So what gpu should i buy which would last me a few years like 3-4-5 years. Thank you.
I can't help you with this decision since anything can happen with any GPU. I can tell you to pick one of these, and it might die within a few days (regardless of whether it was mined or not), so I don't want to take that responsibility, even though I bought plenty of cards that were used for mining and still function perfectly fine to this day. Personally I'd either pick the 8 GB RX 580 or the 6 GB GTX 1060, performance wise those two are the best. Once again though, buy used parts only after checking the physical condition, 10-15 minute stress testing, and of course at your own risk.
at this point in time (mid 2024) i think Rx 580 is done as an interesting GPU... i mean, yea... if you still have one, or want to build a secondary budget build then go for it... But there are so so many better options nowadays, and (most important) more and more newer tittles wont run propperly (i mean games that won't run 1080p 30fps at low, so you'll be forced to 720p since FSR won't save your gpu in every tittle). i'm still using my Rx 580 (4gb version) but i'm more than aware of its limits and i do know for a fact that i'm not playing any 2022 or newer AAA tittle
When I did my RX580 vs GTX 1060 Comparison, the RX580 was a hair faster. Also the extra RAM is certainly a bonus. In the end, the extra heat was not welcome. Also the fan profiles are not what I always used to (depending on brand). Sadly, it is much harder to find a GTX1060 when there are tons of RX580s available.
Still using an RX 580 paired with my 32" HDTV. Tried using an RX 5700XT, but for some reason I kept getting frequent 1 or 2 second audio drops, and the screen overscan would keep failing and only use 95% of the screen, and I would have to keep toggling the HDMI scaler. So I went back to the RX 580, which never had that problem.
5700xt needs 650w or better tier c power supply, low power supply causes weird sound stuff, some radeons the HDMI standard is not compatible, Displayport is more compatible but most TVs dont have displayport
I don´t know your local used market situation but an RX 5500XT is the FAR better choice. It consumes 1/3 less power... is about 10-20% faster Has full driver support etc Got mine for about 75€
I've just recently jumped from GTX 730 2GB to RX 580 8GB as well as from i3 4130 to i7 4790, man im having a blast with it on titan fall 2 :DDD, no worries i also upgraded my PSU from 300 watts to 550 watts
🙂 i wud chk 1070 ti 1080 470 570 480 580 56 64 5500 5600 5700, prices are weird so look around, if ur broke 970 980 seems to b cheaper and not too far behind the other cards
baking af 74C found out that if you replace the fans with moded one gets quiet and colder from 70 to 57 and if i did undervolt probably will bump at 53 C and good quality thermal paste ofc.
You can buy 5700XTs, and Vega 56 for near the same price. Even GTX 1070s and 1080s are neat the same price, and much faster. The 580 is not a good card, yet somehow it is constantly being revived by budget builder channels as a good option. It’s really not a good option lol
@@Damian-th4zv Results depend on the resolution, if there's any upscaling etc, as well as the area that's being tested. If you fly through the exact areas that I tested in my video using high settings, the frame rate will definitely drop.
Good thing games these days look good on low preset. However... In some of the more slow pased titles I'd aim for 30fps, higher settings and some type of frame generation. Maybe with lossless scaling app and play with a gamepad instead of mouse and keyboard. That's the cheap mans way to get the most out of older hardware. I think tinkering with weaker hardware to get the most out of it, is even more fun than playing the actual games. And when I get the best settings tweaked in with a locked smooth framerate, the game is sometimes even more enjoyable to play knowing that it shouldn't be possible on such cheap hardware. To me, buying an expensive card and just put the settings to high is considered "cheating". :)
Cyberpunk should run decent even on the high preset at 1080p with fsr quality. Maybe even add the fsr3 frame gen mod to get some more fps. Also make sure to buy an actual rx 580 and not a rebadged rx 570 (aka rx 580 2048sp, you can lie to yourself all you want, its not a rx580 but a rx 570 or even worse rx 470, it comes from china after all)
I’m starting to build my first pc ever, do you recommend that I get this graphic card? I saw a lot of reviews on it on Amazon and a lot of people are saying good things about it, it costs $150 in my local currency and my budget for the entire pc is $800! Do you think it’s worth it or should aim for a better graphic card? Cause some people also recommend the rtx 3060 from ZOTAC Gaming which goes for $280! But it takes a lot from my budget 😅
Of course the 3060 is a much newer and more powerful card, it would make more sense to go with that one. In fact I'd forget about the RX 580 with your budget. I don't know how much PC parts cost where you live, but given the RTX 3060 costs $280, it looks like the prices are the same as they are in the US. You easily can build yourself a rig with a R5 5600, RTX 3060 12 GB and 32 GB of memory for that amount of money. If your main focus is gaming, I'd even recommend the RX 7600, which is a cheaper and generally faster card, at least without ray tracing.
@@SuperOfficial88 The GPU will still be usable and everything will be fine in titles that released up until the latest driver version. Only in upcoming titles you might experience stability issues or games refusing to launch, which should be expected given the age & price of this card.
The frame rate in majority of games was already low enough so I wanted to show the best possible results of this card, I think it's clear that by increasing the settings the frame rate is going to drop. But yes, like I said in the end if you're okay with a console like experience you can increase a few settings or maybe even play more modern titles.
im seeing the XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition for like $90 used should I get it or just get a brand new XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 6600 for $200
Same with me. I did a simple upgrade tho. Keep all my games at 1080p. Then attach a 4k Gamer pro on it. 4k 60fps. Then one more step after that. Turn on the program called Lossless Scaling to get access to Frame Generation. 4k 120fps using old RX 480. 4k Gamer Pro actually works.
There are RTX 4080 models that also overheat and sound like a jet. Doesn't mean the 4080 is bad, there are plenty of great models of that GPU with solid cooling solutions, you just have to do your research.

If you have an 8pin module, you could possibly give it a bump or another at gpu's core freq or perhaps memory freq - Or even both, thats the point. But if so is yours 6 pin, it can be dangerous perhaps at full power. I wouldn't, the gain is minimal though... LEARNING how to set up the game/application is more important than anything. It is a great graphic card, even the 2048sp. I do not regret it at all. But I would have bought a 6600 model instead, as it uses less energy and is certainly better.
If you feel like your rx 580 is not good, change your desktop to 1280x720p and try using that resolution. That gpu is A BEAST, and it OVERKILLS at 720p. It can 1080p "medium", but it shines a LOT at a smaller resolution. That would be probably my piece of advice, maybe.
Also, you don't need to run everything on ultra, put textures high (it usually takes it well for it's 8gb ram), the rest medium/low (idk, we talking bout NOTHING, swing around, it might even take things with ease at ultra as well) and you will get to understand the sweetspot to obtain an amazing performance.
And if you're annoyed that yours is 2048sp, accept it, the performance drop is around 10~13%, usually around 7~14 fps, get your shit done, in most cases it wouldn't change a thing. Be happy instead, this gpu is amazing anyway, and there are "unnoficial" FSR ways to increase it's performance even more. I love to see it thriving... In the end, i'm just a humble man!
i came wo any broadcasting knowledge at all so im still learning, but doesnt mean can be treated unequally, if theyre good and profitable then profitable why the long route
Good work as always! Really surprising longevity for a lower midrange card. It is basically a 1080 Ti-light at this point.
At Russia rx 580 is one of the most popular and most "meme" card at the same time
😒👍 just like Vodka comrad
Considering the new cards have clock speeds twice as high, the performance is still decent. Can’t imagine how this card would have performed at 1.9 GHz if it was possible, I would say this arhitecture was legendary! I’ve gotten mine in 2019 for 200€ and it has been enough. Quite a long time 😊
Replaced my 580 for 7900 xtx recently, but I was very happy with 580 for number of years. Recording with AMD ReLive didn't affect my framerate at all (to the point I'd notice).
For $70 or so, it's an absolute steal.
Finished Witcher 3 with my RX580! Such a powerhouse GPU! Smooth gaming experience!
The RX580 is the AK-47 of budget cards: cheap, reliable champ of the people that does the basic thing you ask it to do.
I think the RX6700 XT will inherit that title next.
True rn im gonna be using the rx 580 for about a year that year im prob gonna save up the rx 6600
6700XT is great for texture packs, but the GPU part itself is the biggest weakness.
bro my rx 580 gets 78 degrees playing GEOMETRY DASH WTF
rx 500 series known to run rather hot
As saturated as the budget tech space is with Polaris GPU recommendations, it's for good reason
These are still the absolute cheapest bang for buck cards I can get in my area, with 470s as low as $20 per and 8GB 480s/580s for like $40. As much as I'd like to buy more interesting cards for the budget builds they do, nothing even comes close for that price unless I stumble across the rare unicorn deal. Hope to see the sub $100 (really the sub $50) used market begin to offer newer or more interesting alternatives soon. Some of the 900 series cards are hovering down towards a similar price point which is nice to see.
Great video as always! Look forward to whenever/whatever the next one is :)
for anyone tryna play warzone,you can get between 80-90 fps using the right settings.i get about 80-90 fps and i got a rx580 with a ryzen 5500 and 12 gigs of ram
I really like how you will use a system that most people will either buy or at the very least could afford, subbed!
I have one of the 2048sp models of the RX580 in my spare PC (paired with a Ryzen 5 1600AF and 16GB of 3200Mhz DDR4). It'd be worth trying the custom drivers for your card as the results I get in Hogwarts Legacy and Spider-Man are almost exactly the same but with a few settings turned up.
Had an extremely limited time with this card, I'll definitely give Nimez drivers a try in the future.
i just picked one up for £54 (including postage) to replace my gtx 1050 ti. given the price i got it for, i may be able to make this a free upgrade if i sell the 1050. the speed will be nice, but i'm also very excited to go from 4 to 8gb of vram. i'm hoping to upgrade my modded fallout 4 from the choppy 30-50fps i get rn :)
I've been using the MSI RX 580 8gb Armor for 5 years now and I don't need more, and I can still game all the time.greetings from France
Good to see you back brother, been binging your fx vids and gotta say my love and appreciation for the fx processors has really grown
I have the rx590 fatboy and did great when i got it in 2020 upgrading from rx280 to play at 1080 some 1440 games. Now it it is in my back up pc and gaming on evga 2080ti which is amazIng card today. Been wanting to upgrade but to have amazing jump again the card needs to be over a 4070 or 7800xt
😒👍 7900 XT FTW
Yeah at this point I will wait until 5xxx or new AMD and build a whole new rig for 4k as 2080ti undervolt OC gets me solid 60fps for the non fps games as mainly rts gamer.
A great and cheap pickup for a rig focused on games from a few years back
Exactly!
nah dude this isn't an ancient gpu, I have one and I play all the latest games just fine
@@ilikesinging7 that's not what I meant. If you are looking to build a rig specifically focussed on older titles, this would be a great buy. I have one of these as a spare GPU on my shelf, I know they are more than capable 😉
This baby carried me during the pandemic, prices were crazy back then, and I found a powercolor one at a very reasonable price. i will use to build my niece a basic school computer desktop.
Vega 56 and 1070 can be found for a similar price. Rx 580 is still a good option if you find a good deal
On one of my computers my 3070ti oc die and i put my 580 8gb xfx and your right some times i had to reboot the computer like 5 times but when it works 💪 i running the games i play on it i ran perfectly. 5800x3d 2x8 3600 cl14 . I'm very happy with my new 4070 super . The funny part i have a cheap rx 460 4 gb to work on computers and it work every time i boot my 5800x3d pc. That's why I don't sale my old computer parts i save them for emergency purposes only ond fix computers especially the 460 4gb because it runs only in the gpu slot no power card.
Underrated card really. I always picked used RX 580 for cheap build if anyone asking for a draft.
RX 580 pack power and if they just playing single player games or emulators, it will more than enough to have decent gaming experience
RX 580 was my very first gaming PC and has been served me for long long years so well :)
Wow, man you have perfect selection of hardware for a review) I always return into your channel to make decision when buying old stuff (hello from ryzen 3600 😄, that by the way now in pair with RX580 8Gb) Best wishes to You!
Thank you, I'm glad you found my videos helpful!
S.A.M. does work with the RX580. It works for the RX570 too. I've had both. The mobo has to be capable. Even if the drivers say that S.A.M is not turned on, if it's turned on in BIOS, it's running.
The motherboard is capable, every other recent AMD GPU that I played around with such as 5700 XT, 6600 XT and RX 6800 all have SAM. Once I install the RX 580 it isn't available, even with resizable bar enabled in the BIOS.
@@RATechYT I used to run a Gigabyte Intel 10th Gen Board. I had the "Above 4G, and Resize Bar setting" in BIOS. With the RX570, and 580, in the Adrenaline drivers, it never said it was Enabled. Always greyed out. But, (from a RUclips Vid) look in Device Manager/Display Adapter/Properties/Resources. If it's says "Large Memory Range" on top, S.A.M. is Enabled regardless what AMD Adrenaline says. It did it with both cards. I even benched them before and after. After was definitely faster.
@@Hoprgras If that's the case there is a chance it was enabled when I tested this card.
i wanted to build a low end pc to play pc-exclusive games like phasmophobia, battlebit remastered, and portal with my friends and I think I will have a great time using this card!
bought it last month and i feel like i have superpowers
Ive owned 3 or 4 RX 580s they are awesome budget powerhouses the best, now i run a RX 6950 XT
Im building a couple budget pcs to sell (xeon mobo cpu ram combos) and am looking for a decent gpu to pair with it. the 580's price tag on ali has definitely increased since last time I got 2 off there. I think the popularity of the 2048 cards boosted their sales and sellers caught on and upped prices. Sad to see, im just looking for 2 cards at around 50-60 each to pair with the xeons. I saw a 1060 6gb for $50 on craigslist and will probably go with that
I'm happy with RX 6600XT, it's very affordable too!
That was my first AMD GPU! Was extremely happy with it, now rocking an RX 6800 and I'm even happier :)
@@RATechYT Oh wow! Good for you 😊
Hello bro please help me. Im building my first pc and the gpus that fit my budget are rx 580 8gb sapphire nitro+ it has good temps and physical condition but it was used in mining, theseller is reputable and goving me 2 months refund, repair warranty but not dead warranty meaning that if the card goes dead in 2 months he wont replace it. Second option i have is rx 580 4gb the seller said it hasn't been used for mining and is cheaper than the 8 gb variant, 3rd option is the gtx 970 4gb and 4th is 1060 6gb which is also not used in mining but it is expensive a bit. So what gpu should i buy which would last me a few years like 3-4-5 years. Thank you.
I can't help you with this decision since anything can happen with any GPU. I can tell you to pick one of these, and it might die within a few days (regardless of whether it was mined or not), so I don't want to take that responsibility, even though I bought plenty of cards that were used for mining and still function perfectly fine to this day.
Personally I'd either pick the 8 GB RX 580 or the 6 GB GTX 1060, performance wise those two are the best. Once again though, buy used parts only after checking the physical condition, 10-15 minute stress testing, and of course at your own risk.
I have 3 RX 580's in 3 different pc's & i LOVE them.
RX 580 GOATed with the GTX 1080 Ti as Jordan and Pippen.
Absolute legend❤🎉
Upgraded my gtx 1060 to rx 580 for a 10e more, and got 60fps in most heavy games now, plus Battlefield and Warzone 80fps
Was that a 3 GB version?
@@RATechYT 6gb. It feels like FSR likes rx580 more and 2gb extra VRAM must be helpful just enough to smooth out frametimes
Polaris still going strong even almost a decade later
at this point in time (mid 2024) i think Rx 580 is done as an interesting GPU...
i mean, yea... if you still have one, or want to build a secondary budget build then go for it...
But there are so so many better options nowadays, and (most important) more and more newer tittles wont run propperly (i mean games that won't run 1080p 30fps at low, so you'll be forced to 720p since FSR won't save your gpu in every tittle).
i'm still using my Rx 580 (4gb version) but i'm more than aware of its limits and i do know for a fact that i'm not playing any 2022 or newer AAA tittle
@@jotabe1984 It's only $60, which is what makes it great. At that price, there are no alternatives.
An old is gold card, just like the GTX 1080
When I did my RX580 vs GTX 1060 Comparison, the RX580 was a hair faster. Also the extra RAM is certainly a bonus.
In the end, the extra heat was not welcome. Also the fan profiles are not what I always used to (depending on brand).
Sadly, it is much harder to find a GTX1060 when there are tons of RX580s available.
I was impressed by this MSI model thermals wise. I didn't need to increase the fan speed higher than 50%, it wasn't all that audible either.
Still using an RX 580 paired with my 32" HDTV. Tried using an RX 5700XT, but for some reason I kept getting frequent 1 or 2 second audio drops, and the screen overscan would keep failing and only use 95% of the screen, and I would have to keep toggling the HDMI scaler. So I went back to the RX 580, which never had that problem.
That's unfortunate.
5700xt needs 650w or better tier c power supply, low power supply causes weird sound stuff, some radeons the HDMI standard is not compatible, Displayport is more compatible but most TVs dont have displayport
I don´t know your local used market situation but an RX 5500XT is the FAR better choice.
It consumes 1/3 less power... is about 10-20% faster
Has full driver support etc
Got mine for about 75€
At that price that is clearly a better choice.
sure but some resellers are delisional, they sell 5500xt same price as 5600xt 5700 5700xt, its ridiculous 😒
You can get Nimez driver to enable smart access memory...
True.
heads up fraps is better then the generic steam fps counter for visibility
I got it for my extra budget pc with 3600 for playing wow wotlk on private servers and i have a blast. So satisfied with it 🙃

currently I am using a gt710 would soon upgrade to a rx580 you can get it for around $75 if I am not wrong
baking af 74C found out that if you replace the fans with moded one gets quiet and colder from 70 to 57 and if i did undervolt probably will bump at 53 C and good quality thermal paste ofc.
74°C is a great temperature for a graphics card with a 50% fan speed.
set framerate to 30 for solo games in cpu-z to fix stutters
I'm still playing Warthunder at max settings on my $20 RX470 4GB getting 60 to 100 FPS up to today LOL
You can buy 5700XTs, and Vega 56 for near the same price. Even GTX 1070s and 1080s are neat the same price, and much faster. The 580 is not a good card, yet somehow it is constantly being revived by budget builder channels as a good option. It’s really not a good option lol
At $60 - it is a great ultra budget option. The cards that you mentioned are at least $20-70 more expensive depending on the card.
its fine, i recommend the cool looking cards tho, three fan Red Dragon Red Devil Asus Strix
I can not help but disagree the cheapest yet most powerful graphic one can buy at present is rx580. It should be p106 or p104 without display output.
In the spider man game, im able to get above/around 60fps with high graphics settings with my Ryzen 5 2600 and RX 580.
@@Damian-th4zv Results depend on the resolution, if there's any upscaling etc, as well as the area that's being tested. If you fly through the exact areas that I tested in my video using high settings, the frame rate will definitely drop.
Good thing games these days look good on low preset. However... In some of the more slow pased titles I'd aim for 30fps, higher settings and some type of frame generation. Maybe with lossless scaling app and play with a gamepad instead of mouse and keyboard. That's the cheap mans way to get the most out of older hardware.
I think tinkering with weaker hardware to get the most out of it, is even more fun than playing the actual games. And when I get the best settings tweaked in with a locked smooth framerate, the game is sometimes even more enjoyable to play knowing that it shouldn't be possible on such cheap hardware.
To me, buying an expensive card and just put the settings to high is considered "cheating". :)
Can relate!
Got this one for around 40$ fb marketplace
Cyberpunk should run decent even on the high preset at 1080p with fsr quality. Maybe even add the fsr3 frame gen mod to get some more fps.
Also make sure to buy an actual rx 580 and not a rebadged rx 570 (aka rx 580 2048sp, you can lie to yourself all you want, its not a rx580 but a rx 570 or even worse rx 470, it comes from china after all)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 i Have Radeon RX 580 8gb Power Color
I’m starting to build my first pc ever, do you recommend that I get this graphic card? I saw a lot of reviews on it on Amazon and a lot of people are saying good things about it, it costs $150 in my local currency and my budget for the entire pc is $800! Do you think it’s worth it or should aim for a better graphic card? Cause some people also recommend the rtx 3060 from ZOTAC Gaming which goes for $280! But it takes a lot from my budget 😅
Of course the 3060 is a much newer and more powerful card, it would make more sense to go with that one. In fact I'd forget about the RX 580 with your budget.
I don't know how much PC parts cost where you live, but given the RTX 3060 costs $280, it looks like the prices are the same as they are in the US. You easily can build yourself a rig with a R5 5600, RTX 3060 12 GB and 32 GB of memory for that amount of money. If your main focus is gaming, I'd even recommend the RX 7600, which is a cheaper and generally faster card, at least without ray tracing.
I have the rx 590 xfx the card is great ❤
I just recently bought a brandnew RX550 for 2 dollars equivalent here in my country. Tested it and it worked as intended. Was the price just fair?
That is DIRT cheap!
😒 sure, on ebay they go for 35 to 45
Would make sense if you actually tested some 2024 games, considering the video title.
True, gonna need to update my library with newer titles.
I don't understand 3 months now no drivers for this card
Old cards like these stop receiving driver support.
Is it bad if graphic cards stopped receiving drivers?
@@SuperOfficial88 The GPU will still be usable and everything will be fine in titles that released up until the latest driver version. Only in upcoming titles you might experience stability issues or games refusing to launch, which should be expected given the age & price of this card.
No! I have Aisurix Graphics Radeon rx580 with steam processor 2048 It work in UEFI.
Hard to find on our local market. Most of them are used for mining.
This one was also used for mining. This card was one of the cleanest ones out of the bunch.
"The Cheapest and Fastest GPU Money Can Buy"? Depending on region, that's either RX 480 8 GB, 580 8 GB, GTX 1080, 5600 XT or even 5700 XT.
True, I should mention that in my upcoming reviews.
😒 sure, research the gpu tier list and look at all the cards that are clustered near 570
I got one for 65$ today
Why everything on low?
I got r7 2700x and rx580 armor msi and playing gow ultra 35 fps 😅
The frame rate in majority of games was already low enough so I wanted to show the best possible results of this card, I think it's clear that by increasing the settings the frame rate is going to drop. But yes, like I said in the end if you're okay with a console like experience you can increase a few settings or maybe even play more modern titles.
im seeing the XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition for like $90 used should I get it or just get a brand new XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 6600 for $200
