Radeon RX 580 Graphics Card:

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is one of the best graphics cards for PC gaming. Compared to the more popular GTX 1060 6 GB, it's both quicker and less expensive more often than not. However, the GTX 1060 remains the most popular graphics card reported by Steam users, with the Radeon RX 580 not even getting a look inside a real tragedy.

In principle, the Radeon RX 580 should be able to reach 60 frames per second at 1080p in most games, making it a good choice to achieve graphics of console-quality, or better, double the frame rate. Look at gaming benchmark results for different games below and theory holds up to reality, pitting the RX 580 against its closest mid-range competitors: the latest (and more powerful) RX 590 and the best-selling GTX 1060 6 GB and also the Radeon RX 580 with its antecedents and descendants of AMD Radeon, including the Fury X, Vega 56, and Vega 64.

It is worth noting that for the Radeon RX 580 or RX 590, there are no AMD-made reference models, just partner boards that come with an array of out-of-the-box clock speeds. To obtain comparable performance, particularly with the GTX 1060 model, it has set the Radeon cards in AMD's Wattman software to their model specifications. That means that some RX 580 and RX 590 cards can offer better performance than reflected here, with otherwise equivalent hardware in the range of three to 7 percent.

AMD Radeon RX 580 Graphics Card Performance:

AMD's performance-segment graphics card, launched in April 2017, is the Radeon RX 580 Graphics. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the Polaris 20 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12 in its Polaris 20 XTX variant. This means all of the latest games are running on Radeon RX 580 Graphics. The Polaris 20 graphics processor is an average size chip with a die area of 232 mm² and 5,700 million transistors.

It has 2304 shading units, 144 mapping units of texture, and 32 ROPs. AMD has paired 8 GB of GDDR5 memory to the Radeon RX 580 Graphics, which is connected via a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU works at 1257 MHz frequency and can be increased up to 1340 MHz; the memory runs at 2000 MHz.

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is a dual-slot card, drawing power from a 1x 8-pin power connector with a power draw rated at a maximum of 185 W. Display outputs include: 1x DisplayPort, 3x HDMI. A PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface is used to connect Radeon RX 580 Graphics to the rest of the network. The card is 241 mm long and has a dual-slot cooling solution. Its launch price was 229 US Dollars.

Radeon RX 580 Graphics Card Benchmark:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider, even the margin is small, the RX 570 can edge out the GTX 1060 3 GB. In the meantime, the RX 580 is a good bit faster than the 6 GB 1060, providing 1080p frames with 9 percent more. Battlefield V is another title in which those cheap Radeon GPUs stack up against the competition very well. The RX 580 blitzed the 6 GB 1060, while the RX 570 had only outperformed the 3 GB 1060 at 1080p, but beat it at 1440p quite comfortably. Basically, the 570 was in line with the 6 GB 1060 here.

Sniper Elite 4 is another game the Radeon GPUs are doing very well in. Here the RX 570 matched the 3 GB 1060's 1 percent low performance while convincingly beating it at 1080p for the average frame rate. The RX 580 also defeated the 6 GB 1060 by a respectable margin, and at 1080p was 18 percent quicker than the 570. The performance is competitive between the RX 570, 580, and GTX 1060 in Monster Hunter World. The RX 570 edges the 3 GB 1060 while the RX 580 beats the 6 GB 1060, but the RX 570 holds up really well for your dollar.
