ASUS ROG Strix Radeon Rx 570 O4G Gaming OC Edition GDDR5 DP HDMI DVI VR Ready AMD Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-RX570-O4G-GAMING)

I've been a dyed-in-the-wool Sapphire user since day one, but my Dual-X R9 280 bit the dust after 3 yrs. Before that had used a Sapphire HD 6870 that STILL runs fine to this day (7 yrs old) but shopping for a newer model Asus had the best deal at the first of this month. Missed the end of Sept deals that were available...ggrrrrr. Same thing happened yrs ago (2012) when I was going for the HD 7970 at the end of Sept, they were reasonable, Oct rolled around and $200.00 was added on. That is when the bitcoin crowd started cornering the market so they could get themselves a Titan card.This yr it was around a $90.00 jump from Sept to Oct. All I can say is since I have an Asus MoBo I decided to go for the Asus card, not to mention the price difference. I've heard good things about the Asus cards and will update as things roll on.I will say that as far as performance goes the RX as opposed to the R9 is faster in the games I choose to play by a minimum of 50 FPS. Don't get me wrong the Dual-X R9 280 was a rebranded 7970 and when it ran it ran well but it did draw a lot of power anywhere from 200 to 500 watts whereas the RX is about half that and it only needs one 8 pin connection.All in all very satisfied with the Asus model RX580 OC although the OC (the OC is about 1% tho) anyone moving from a R9 type will not be disappointed.

The rx 580 graphics card is one of the greater mid-high range cards out on the market. That with the Asus cooling to which I'm reviewing, it makes for a great addition to an aspiring hardcore rig.Pros:-Built in heat detection that keeps the fans off until a warm 55C is present, keeping a idling or a low load rig from making too much noise.-Overclocking is very possible while being able to keep the card at a safe heat index.-Graphics card can handle nearly any modern triple A title and then some. Make sure you don't get bottlenecked by your processor, you don't want to hold it back.-Great price for a higher mid range graphics card with a great cooling system.Cons:-Cooling fans can get quite noisy if the load is heavy. Your typical modern games with an impressive graphics load will usually cause this.(surprise)-Because it's a mid-range card, this card will have problems with very heavy games graphically, but will usually triumph the game if settings are set a bit lower then max graphical settings(cri ;~;).Even if this card is a mid-range power graphics card, it competes and will dominate almost any game you have in store for it, and make it look great. The cooling makes sure to keep the card a cool temperature while running intensive loads, however load it gets in the process, all while you get a good looking rig with good looking screens.

We have had problems with the black screen from this card too. All can be solved by installing GPU Tweak II from Asus. From this program you can set the fans to run always or by sensor. I prefer to have them running always as the heatsink can get very hot fast. It is a complicated graphic card and I only wish they could make these more simple. Honestly I am thinking the black screen is caused by the GPU overheating. On the card we received the fans will not start until the heat sink gets blistering hot. With the fans running always (like on most video cards) there is never a problem with the over heating. I wish I had of purchased a more simple card now.

Great value and performance. Bought this to put into an older HP system that I was moving to a dual boot Win10/Hackintosh. Hacintosh pretty much requires an AMD GPU so Team Green was out. As the title says, couldn't be happier. I have it driving an HP 75mhz Free Sync monitor and its beautiful. Most of my gaming is GS:GO, Civ V, Witcher III and older titles. Im running High settings, 1080p on all of them no problem.The card requires an 8 pin connector from your PSU. If you don't have one and your GPU is under 400w, this is not the card for you (note - I am using a 6pin to 8pin adapter on mine).I have done some limited overclocking using Overdrive but since Im pretty much getting 60+ fps on everything there really isn't any point.If you have anything below a 1050ti, this is a great upgrade for the price. I have a 1050ti in another system and frankly there is no real difference on the games I play. Thats just me, YMMV.Recommended.

I always followed and rooted for Nvidia. I loved reading about their latest technologies and their efforts in the GPU market.When they released 1060 I was in love with it. The reviews were awesome.At that time, AMD got a second wind and revived itself like a Phoenix from its ashes with their Zen architecture and then Ryzen processors.It was amazing seeing 580 against 1060 when the price difference was so great. The reviews were in 580's favor because of its price and performance ratio. Sure it doesn't flat out beat 1060 (it cant) but the price performance ratio was what gave it life.Bitcoin miners killed the GPU market so when the 580 was available in a sale, I grabbed it and didn't look back. I love this GPU. It's awesome.I love what Asus has done with this device. They have just made it better. Good job, Asus.
