This RX 580 has 16GB of Vram...4K Ready?

We recently stumbled upon this graphics card, it isn’t new by any means but it’s insane sounding! We are looking at an AMD RX 580 that has had extra VRAM soldered onto it… 8GB more! This means that this is an RX 580 16GB!?

I actually love that this exists. Going to make people wonder why nvidia charges so much for a little vram. I understand this is ddr5 but the ddr6 used in the 4060 is also pretty old tech at this point

I recall that there was a 16GB RX 570 released for mining. Sounds like they took one of those and flashed it with an RX 580 2048SP vbios.

I would love to test that in video rendering. If its a legit 16gb then thats a perfect card for budget video rendering..

This is especially impressive if you factor in a 25% overclock

[JonathonWhipple]

I picked up one and dropped into a dell precision t7810 and it works quite well - so well that I just ordered a second one to put into another xeon v4 build that I'm working on. Also, it came in 7 days - I was quite impressed for Aliexpress!

[superdave]

I soo want this to become a thing. Someone please start making these for every old model out there.

[Dominency]

Now if only Nvidia can do this with their graphics cards

[olnnn]

Same store also has a 3080 non-TI with 20 GB and the repurposed mobile variants of 6600, 3060 and others

[ANSs]

Seems like the AliExpress pc build video is coming soon

[Kzxhy]

glad my suggestion made it to a video!

[jonpeley]

In older cards like this it's probably pointless, but in newer ones more than 8 gb is mandatory for future proof. RE 4 Remake maxes out the 12 gb of my RX 6700 XT in 1080p ultra settings.

[mr.guillotine]

We just need companies to find a way to do this with GDDR6 to last gen 8 gig cards...that might actually be useful. I need to upgrade, but all this talk (with evidence) that 8 gigs won't cut it for much longer for at least some games I"d like to play, means I'm looking at cards with at least 12 gigs...which is more than my budget will really allow tbh. Then again, I also remind myself that my current card only has 4 gigs of VRAM so 8 gigs is still an upgrade for me and I can always just turn down some of the settings to keep the VRAM usage in check and most games will still be playable while looking pretty good still, especially since I only have a 1080p monitor, but with so much talk about it being a problem, it's hard not to feel like you absolutely need to have 12-16 gigs min or games won't run at all (I know it's not how it works, but it's how it often feels lol)

I'm curious if this would mean a RX 590 16GB is coming in the future and I'm also curious if this could work on the RX 5700 XT?

[Joseph-oqfz]

Tbh, the 16GB version can be beneficial for people who use editing and coloring apps (Davinci Resolve for example)
As for gaming, it will have a benefit over the 8GB version only in Warzone 2.0, because on normal textures it easily eats up all the 8GB memory, so for high textures you need more than 8.

[andrewmutavi]

Makes sense for workstation applications, would love a 3060ti 16gig card

[mcchill]

the best way to test would be AI like stable diffusion. it can easily eat all the VRAM and RAM, and it could be very promising deal

[WCIIIReiniger]

You will not find a "stock game" that can really utilize this card, since all games are optimized for relatively fast nvidia cards with low amounts of VRAM.
The only use cases you can make up is by modding old games with extreme textures like skyrim, because this can easily fill over 10 GB of VRAM while not being so heavy on the GPU itself.

[mcslender]

I can think of a few GPUs that would benefit greatly from this kind of mod

[Skyfight]

Thats a cool and intresting GPU! I just started Playing Far Cry 5 a few weeks ago and i never played a Game that uses so much Vram At 1080p it maxed out at 10.5gb Vram usage for me!

[arhea]

An rx5700xt with 10, 12 or 16gb would be a beast!
