MSI RX580 Armour

[another_member]

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,

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

 

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

Or this https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/sF648d/sapphire-radeon-rx-580-8gb-nitro-video-card-11265-01

 

These are only my opinions. I don't own these cards

When getting an AMD card, Sapphire should be the first option.

The MSI armor is pretty bad, try to get a sapphire pulse instead, or Nitro+.

As an owner of this card, can only say one thing, avoid like a plague. Card itself isnt bad, but the cooler, cant say a good word about it. Its loud and have some shity thermal aplied.

Add few € to get decent cooler.

Is there a significant difference between these cards?

The Nitro+ has a slightly higher boost clock.
