Gigabyte Aorus Rx 580 8gb Test

AMD'due south Polaris refresh primarily features a BIOS overhaul, which assists in power management during idle or depression-load workloads, simply also ships with natively higher clocks and additional overvoltage headroom. Technically, an RX 400-series carte could be flashed to its 500-series analogue, though we haven't begun investigation into that just all the same. The reasoning, though, is because the change between the 2 series is and so minor; this is non meant to be an upgrade for existing 400-series users, but an selection for buyers in the marketplace for a completely new organization.

We've already reviewed the RX 580 line past opening upward with our MSI RX 580 Gaming X review, a $245 card that competes closely with the EVGA GTX 1060 SSC ($250) culling from nVidia. Operation was on-signal to provide back-and-along trades depending on games, with ability describe additional over the 400 series when under load, or lowered when idle. This review of the Gigabyte RX 570 4GB Aorus card benchmarks performance versus the RX 470, 480, 580, and GTX 1050 Ti and 1060 cards. Nosotros're looking at power consumption, thermals, and FPS.

At that place'south no new architecture to speak of here. Our RX 480 initial review from final yr covers all relevant aspects of architecture for the RX 500 serial; if yous're behind on Polaris (or it's been a while) and demand a refresher on what'due south happening at a silicon level, check our initial RX 480 review.
