2 dead rx 580s since december

[Giantrooster210]

in December I decided to upgrade and grabbed the xfx rx 580 8 gb black edition. sweet price and an upgrade over my 1050. after a couple of days poof...dead mid game (destiny 2), pc wouldnt post nothing....dead. So i RMA and in the mean time before i received the replacement i upgraded the mobo to the rog strix b450-f and a ryzen 5 2600 (gpu was bottlenecking a bit with my old rig before it died) Got all that up and running zero problems with the trusty old 1050 ti, the replacement rx 580 shows up, installed it...ran like a champ for a week and a half and once again mid game (skyrim)  poof....DEAD same as before, no power no post no nothing (with the newer mobo/cpu). It doesnt take much digging to find other people with issues with this card but with all the decent reviews and generally good things for this card i have seen I figured that as with anything there is bound to be SOME issues out there and even me getting one that dies shortly is statistically bound to happen, send it back get a replacement ok fine what ever move on....but 2 IN A ROW? Is this a much more common theme with these cards or did i get the random crap end of the stick twice?  

 

EDIT: i have my old 1050 ti back in its place now and it runs like a champ with zero issues just as it should

temps seem to be fine i was keeping a eye on them the first time and didnt notice anything out of the ordinary and when the second one came i was really watching and even upped the fan curve slightly from the stock one  JUST IN CASE....zero issues with with power or temps that i could tell either time

Thats some very strange luck, I would personally be inclined to believe it's the PSU killing your graphics cards.

 

I have an ROG STRIX RX580 and it has been holding up like a champ for the year i've owned it. I bought it used, previous owner mined on it.

Something has to be going on with that system. I have the xfx RX 480 RS edition and it's been oc'd since I bought it over a year ago. I have had zero issues. I also haven't even changed the fan curve.

Perhaps God is punishing you for going to team RED.  Nah just kidding man, just giving you a hard time I think.  Im just not surpsried.  The green came into your room and invaded your pc and what not.

LOL i am thinking about pinching my pennies until i can get a 1070 and never looking back...first team red card I have EVER bought and its leaving a bad taste in my mouth for sure

 

[Tristerin]

Is your 1050 slot powered or 6pin powered?

[Giantrooster210]

slot powered

I just bought a R9 Fury Nitro for $140 on ebay....benches like %10 less than a 1070, benches 1% faster than an RX 590 (however 230w TDB)...If you get an R9 Fury X (1070 equivalent) they are around $175 shipped.

 

Sucks team red is doing this to you!

Yes and get a good gaming monitor to boot.  Their not that expensive unless you go larger in screen size.  But @ 27" You can find a nice HDR UQHD 144hz for 400 or 500 bones.

[Giantrooster210]

my flat screen i am using does 1080 120 hz but ya eventually i need a better monitor...once i get this situation dealt with i promised my teenager a shiny new xbox one x (ive tried to bring him to the master race but all his buddies are console) lol so will have to come later

[TheDarkNessCrazzy]

actually i have 4 xfx rx 580 the black one

it seems to be a common issue bcz all of them not working

one of them brand new

and the 2nd one was working fine

i just turn of my system and turn it on in the next day after that it wont post any image

also a common issue with some r9 fury nitro edition

Meh. Don't get a bad taste. 

The 1070 is fine, but honestly for the price I agree with @Tristerin that the R9 290X is a very solid option. I've seen them as low as $90...

 

But really you've got an RX 580, you've already invested. RMA it again and chalk it up to bad luck. If it occurs again, it's likely something else in your hardware...

 

Between the RX580, R9 290X, 1070 you're talking about maybe a 5-10% performance difference maximum... Keep rolling with the card that's got warranty on it.
