Which RX 580 card should I get

[TheRCMGuy]

Hey all, wanting to upgrade from my shitty salvage GT 610 to a RX 580 with a budget of ~$300. Now I'm not sure about what exact card to get coz of mixed reviews and such but I think I gotten it down to this:

• ASUS DUAL OC 8G

• MSI Armour 8GB OC

• XFX GTS

I like Armor cards - they're silent and have good cooling (now even better).

I would go with Asus, it’s only $8 more expensive but definitely will have better cooling and temps than msi one, plus out of the box is clocked higher. As of xfx I had quite bad experience with them before, ok it was quite some time ago but still.

I have the Asus Dual 8GB, I can recommend it.

just found a Gigabyte RX 590 for $289 AUD so would it be better than what I already listed?

I also just found this at UMart - $289 AUD

Gigabyte Radeon RX 590 8G REV 2

GTX1650 Super models,... starting around $320 AUD... jesus...

@SkilledRebuildsIs right you know. For almost 300aud budget, you could get the 1650 super, which is only little better than rx590. Tho i would mainly get the asus rx 580. The armor has decent cooling, but not the best cooling, and look, well in my opinion its not good, but in your opinion it could be good.

EDIT: ROG STRIX is $300 so worth it?

Since it's replacing a GT610 I'd like to know what PSU you'll be using with the rx580.

I could if I wasn't in Australia haha

[christian franca]

also a 1660 is better than a rx 580 and for the power consuption a 1070 is the same (1660 less power than both)

[christian franca]

or a 5500 

[christian franca]

you can choose for sure a card better than a rx 580 for that money. there s no CEX in australia?

I had the ASUS for awhile, liked the frame per $, was a huge improvement over my 1050ti, but otherwise hated it, ran hot and load and many reports suggest most of them fail after about 4-6 months due to improper memory module cooling.  

Used 1070 would be better then all these cards and likely same price, but that is only assuming you want to buy used.

I legit owned that exact card, its awful, cooling might look thick and hefty but it works like a turd, it ran at 80C+ with fans blasting in any benchmark, i have never owned a louder, worse built card in my life.

amd drivers are shitty, you cannot trust msi afterburner also.

Nah, coming from Nvidea i like them better, easily.  Anti-Lag vs Ultra Low Latency is all the same but you can find better value monitors if you go for Freesync, and RIS is actually worth trying if you want to upscale 1080 to 1440 etc compared to the disaster that is DLSS or the recent option that followed (which runs better fps then DLSS but always looks bad).  

The 2020 Driver has had some issues for some but just use driver before that (19.12.1) if you have any problems until its patched, that said the one case i haven't seen issue is on Polaris cards like the RX580s, RX590s etc, its more 5700 and Vega/VII owners who are having issues.

actually we do (thx for making me aware of this) and there's a 1060 6GB for $275, so probably thinking of throwing that in the fight against the others?

in most games 1060s slightly worse then both 1650 Super or RX580, only get it if price is a worthwhile amount cheaper. 

[christian franca]

nice, but 1660 6gb better than rx 580 8gb that's better than a 1060 6gb.

[Otto_iii]

If 1660 is about same price as rx580/590, then yes, go for that.  Price differs alot depending on regions. 

I nearly suggested a 1660 for a friend oversears but then we found a 5700s for same price, was a much better buy for him (Croatia)

r9 380x

vega 56

About Asus And their "great" cooling system - I had two Asus card before I switch to MSI. Both have problems with fans after not so long time. So I recommend MSI, even if Asus may looks better out of the box.
