It performs like a 1060 6GB, but has more VRAM.

 

It is a good card.

It has same vram as a 1070

so not late at all

Yeah sure, it can play modern AAA games with ease. Just make sure its not overpriced.

Yea that's a good price.

you can get a 8gb 580 for 250 USD in the us...

It's a good upper-midrange GPU, especially for 1080p

 

Performance is neck-and-neck with a GTX 1060 6GB for the 8GB variant, sometimes better in DX12.

I highly recommend the RX 580 8GB.

 

I can play all of my games at high/ultra settings at 2560x1080 and I do room scale VR like a champ with it.

 

As for people mentioning the comparison to the GTX 1060 6GB, they perform almost identically (within 5%) for almost every game.

 

Hardware Unboxed did a comparison video recently showcasing this and that you really should only pick between them solely on the price you can get them for.

That was about 2 years ago. So no, in 2018 that is not true. AMD drivers for GPU's are more than decent these days.

If they were crap, I wouldn't recommend the card.

 

I really enjoy Adrenaline and I love that I have a stable experience with Oculus VR.

 

NVIDIA gives me a similar experience on my laptop.

 

These stories about either party having unstable drivers are out of date IMO.
