My buddy got a 590 GME (which is just a 580 with an itsy bitsy OC) to replace his ancient GTX 950 and he's having a blast

Rx 580 will live forever with nimez drivers

I run a 580 until a year ago. I didn't need to upgrade when I did. At 1080p my 580 never run out of memory or anything. I just got an RX 6700 cheap that was much better. I've since gone to an RX 6800 and that's where I am riding for the next few years unless something super cheap jumps out in front of me. It's going to have to be a deal because I've got Vram now.

Vega 56 is basically the same price sometimes cheaper. Drawbacks are, you need a beefy PSU and most of them have been mining, but it's not like the RX 580 was not 🥸.

RX 580 user here.
The "UEFI to CSM" issue can be fixed through a stock VBIOS flash from the vendor's website. 99% of the cards at launch had seen a VBIOS update barely a week or two after, which seemed to have been targetted towards the aforementioned issue in particular. I have an AORUS Non-XTR model and a VBIOS flash fixed it. I did own the MSI model too at some point, (before it imploded due to being heavily used in mining by the previous seller), and a VBIOS flash fixed it as well.

I actually bought a used XFX RX580 XXX Edition for $89 a month before COVID hit and the prices went up on graphics cards without realizing it to go with a R5 2600x processor. Fast forward years later and I am able to play games like Diablo 4 with zero issues.

Bought a 580 last year for my new PC because I couldn't afford a better gpu at the time. Used it for a year and I was very surprised at how well it performed. I upgraded to RX 6900xt a few months ago and I'm really happy with team red so far!

[jjaze]

Just completed my pc build this month and I bought this gpu but only the 2048sp because I like the lower power consumption. The performance is great despite it's age and can comfortably play games like Elden ring, Rdr2, and sport games at high fps 1080p

[ScavengerFX]

I missed you RA Tech, good to see you back!

[MilkyWayHeroz]

just picked up one of these for $45, seller told me the ports were broken but i got a good deal on it because it all works perfectly fine. honestly just wanted something cheap for my home server that could also be used to game if my gf comes over. checked out this vid to see what numbers i should expect from the card, thanks.

[Budgetiers]

I'm still a big believer in this card! Still use it in many of my flips, combining it with the Ryzen 3600. Beast budget combo!

[angieee-]

me who still using rx570 armor by MSI
the 8gb variant still delivers quite ok on 1080p up to day

5 years with a rx 580 and still rocking .a living legend for me .

I ran Hogwarts on an RX590 when it first came out and had no issue with running it but there was a game breaking water bug that was tied to pretty much all polaris cards. As far as I know neither the game devs or AMD ever put out a driver or a fix for it. I mostly play MMO's and an RX580/ RX590 will run all of them at 1080P with ease. (new ones like Pax Dei excluded) I will never have a bad thing to say about the RX590 and the RX 580 by extension. It was the card that carried me through the pandemic and the crypto cesspool that came at the same time. Tied into that, there are a lot of mining 580's out there so it's a bit of a lottery on what you will get for budget. If you get one that was treated well it will do it's duty.

I've had and I'm still gaming using my GTX 1060 6GB which I got on day 1 release the moment it came to my local store....Had it for 8 years already, best financial decision I ever made tbh 😂

[nemx]

This card aged like a fine wine. Seriously, AMD did a great job making drivers for Polaris better year after year. It's unfortunate that driver support has ended, but still, considering how cheap these cards are, there's no reason not to pick them up for your budget build.

[andreewert]

These cards also run Diablo 4 like butter. Sure, no hi-res textures, but apart from that, perfectly servicable.
Also the 2024SP variants are identical to RX570 in shader count, but they *can* come with slower memory chips. Research needed.
Lastly, GTX1070 and Vega 56 come almost as cheap and are twice as fast in some scenarios.

[cssorkinman]

Good advice and I completely agree :). I have s 2600x with a Rx570 and even with the handicap of only having 4 gbs of vram, it does surprisingly well. Nice vid!

[derek]

I for one like these videos on older video cards and how to get the most out of them. Running rx 570 8gb I got for 30 bucks CAD

I own a 2048sp model, one thing the lad didn't mention and I would SUGGEST taking into consideration A LOT is the "power connection" of the graphic card. For example, mine has a 6pin, therefore I cannot overvclock it. If you have an 8pin module, you could possibly give it a bump or another at gpu's core freq or perhaps memory freq - Or even both, thats the point. But if so is yours 6 pin, it can be dangerous perhaps at full power. I wouldn't, the gain is minimal though... LEARNING how to set up the game/application is more important than anything. It is a great graphic card, even the 2048sp. I do not regret it at all. But I would have bought a 6600 model instead, as it uses less energy and is certainly better.

If you feel like your rx 580 is not good, change your desktop to 1280x720p and try using that resolution. That gpu is A BEAST, and it OVERKILLS at 720p. It can 1080p "medium", but it shines a LOT at a smaller resolution. That would be probably my piece of advice, maybe.

Also, you don't need to run everything on ultra, put textures high (it usually takes it well for it's 8gb ram), the rest medium/low (idk, we talking bout NOTHING, swing around, it might even take things with ease at ultra as well) and you will get to understand the sweetspot to obtain an amazing performance.

And if you're annoyed that yours is 2048sp, accept it, the performance drop is around 10~13%, usually around 7~14 fps, get your shit done, in most cases it wouldn't change a thing. Be happy instead, this gpu is amazing anyway, and there are "unnoficial" FSR ways to increase it's performance even more. I love to see it thriving... In the end, i'm just a humble man!
