AMD RX580 Reviews

[swaaye]

First impressions and all that. Though I also tend to dwell on horrible experiences like my HD 6950 vs. RAGE, trying to get HD 4000 cards working properly with Windows 8.1, and the months of broken driver releases with those cards during 2012.

AMD seems to not have totally screwed up their drivers in awhile. Except maybe now with Vega.

I think ASRock is nearly spot on with the design in terms of thermal dissipation flow internally.
Comparing the calibrated FLIR between it and PowerColor Red Devil, cannot really look at it truly equal but a feel on the hot spot spread when looking between backplate and front.

Like I said can only be a more broader indicator rather than complete comparison, but this ties into another review and their own comment that looked at it from a calibrated thermal imager perspective.

NVIDIA GeForce vs. AMD Radeon Linux Gaming Battle With 396.54 + Mesa 18.3-dev Drivers

Prior to the NVIDIA Linux driver resource fix, the past several months the Radeon RX 580 was performing much better than the GeForce GTX 1060 in many Linux games thanks to the many optimizations in recent years to this open-source driver stack by AMD, Valve, and other contributors. But now with this NVIDIA driver fix in place, the GeForce GTX 1060 is back to leading in more Linux game benchmarks but at least the Radeon RX 580 with its now mature RADV/RadeonSI driver support is able to at least provide stiff competition in a majority of the games tested. With these NVIDIA 396.54 and Mesa 18.3-dev Linux drivers, the RX Vega 64 is running mostly in line with the GeForce GTX 1070.

The GeForce GTX 1080 series remains much faster than the Radeon RX Vega 64 series on Linux for OpenGL/Vulkan and NVIDIA's lead is now only expanding with the recently announced GeForce RTX 2070/2080 series, which we are excited to see how they will perform under Linux once getting those graphics cards.

Radeon RX 570 with 16GB spotted

Yeah, I had to check that twice as well. But as it turns out, Sapphire has released a Radeon RX 570 with 16GB GDDR5 graphics memory. The product seems to be based on the Nitro+ design.

So the 16 GB is certainly not needed for any kind of gaming, you could, of course, argue that in ultra HD some games could pass 8GB, but really this card is not fast enough. So why a 16GB version then? Well, mining is the answer here.
