Hello all,

 

I am looking at the MSI RX 580 Armour for a planned 1080p gaming build, and so decided to question the forum for opinions, experiences or anything else to do with it. Is it worth spending a little more just to get a different RX 580? I am located in germany. Here is a PCPartPicker link: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/TTfmP6/msi-radeon-rx-580-8gb-armor-oc-video-card-rx-580-armor-8g-oc

 

Thanks,

 

Catchears

I've heard the armour coolers aren't the best.

 

EDIT: Something like this will be better, and it's actually cheaper:

The Nitro+ has a slightly higher boost clock.
