What Rx580

[cowpker4life]

Thinking about a powercolor golden a nitro+ or nitro+le or a high end xfx. Looking to buy one in a month or so and really wondering what one has the best vrm and tends to get the highest overclock also what one has the best thermals as not looking to water cool it as don't have the money.

I'd get a Nitro+. Sapphire makes awesome AMD GPUs, from what I've heard.

Both Sapphire and powercolor only makes cards for ad and xfx has some deacnt cards I think but havnt hear anything about them. Like the xfx GTR-S Black edition seems to have one the highest core clocks and not into mining but hear it's one the best for mining.

I'd say the higher end version xfx or nitro+

Yup. JayzTwoCents did a review of the LE Nitro+, and it was really good. I'd go for the normal Nitro+, unles you'll be pushing the OC to the max, since it's cheaper.

Then I'd go for the Nitro+ LE. It has the added bonus of looking awesome as well.

Tbh don't like the looks of it as much as the others but dosnt matter as I can't see into my case anyways was a cheap bugget build a year or 2 ago lol. A fx 8320 oc to 4.5ghz with a hyper 212 evo a msi 970 gaming 1TB 7200rpm hdd and some cheap ass case. Currently using a gtx 560ti I got from a friend but it's dying lol. Get green squares on the screen and it looks up once I get a new gpu might try cooking it sometime. Had a gtx 780 but a mosfet on it died on me so whenever I plug the 8pin or 6 pin forget what one the system just shuts down and dosnt boot lol. Want to fix it sometime but don't know how to check what fets are bad. And a 580 tends to beat most 1060s and amd has driver updates for ages what will be nice.

Gaming series one. The TwinFrozr cooler is great and they should be solid cards. Stink EVGA doesn't do AMD stuff though, or they'd be sure to have some killer cards.

Powercolor xfx and sapphire cards will normally be better then a comparable card that msi has same goes for evga vs msi for navdia.

I know the Nitro+ LE OCs well, JayzTwoCents tested it in his vid, I believe. And the top card generally seem to be within a few % or each other, so just get a nice looking one from a good company and you should be set.

Hmmm. I'm not a VRM geek, so I wouldn't know.  And double sad face, since I've off to bed. It's 12 here, and I have to get up early to go get milk and then go to work.

Ok take care. Find it more fun to overclock cpu/gpu /sometimes ram( My mobo sucks for ocing ram bc have to pull the cmos battery put each time don't have post codes or a rest cmos or clear cmos lol) then gaming at times. Sucks when the games you poured hunderads or thousands of hours into just become aids for competive/bs things/unskillful or the game changes completely from one patch and dies off.

Play Star Wars Battlefront II, the good one from 2005. It's guaranteed not to change from any updates!  Only way it changes is when you install awesome mods.

Yeah, we've got it for PS2 as well, but it's basically a blur. I run it at the native res (1680x1050) on my PC with a bunch of mods (as many as I can), and get 80+ fps at about 20-40% GPU usage. And my GPU is only a 1050 Ti, paired with an i5 2400 CPU. Greatest thing about it is the mods are all free, there's a crap ton of them, and the game itself is $10 on Steam or GOG, or less on sale (I got my copy off GOG for around $2, and since it's DRM free, I have a whole bunch of installs, each with different mods, backups, backups of the vanilla game to save me from having to reinstall if I screw up, etc.). In fact, I just got back from lunch break, where I was showing my sibs some cool mods that up the trooper skins to EA's new Battlefront quality, and introduce a ton more guns. I love it so much I even made a thread: 

(Tip: I'm kind of a Star Wars fanatic. )

Yup. I hope it doesn't count as thread farming. I don't necessarily want more people on my thread, I just don't want to clog up someone else's thread with a bunch of Star Wars game talk.

I ain't complaining! The more the merrier. Speaking of, not wanting to derail the thread, I need to get on that list of mods ASAP. I wouldn't mind actually playing, or joining up one of these days if you're up for it.
