AMD RX 580 and RX 560 leak

TheRealDeal said:
So it's a fail yet the review says otherwise.

Pros:
  • Golden Ticket
  • Overclocking
  • Excellent cooling
  • Low noise
  • Good looks
  • Smaller size
  • Pricing


Cons:
  • Polaris refreshed
  • Power use overclocked

Indeed. The Nvidia 480 GTX was a hot card, yet was extremely popular. Somehow power drawer when OC'd suddenly matters. If you are really worried about power draw, and want to OC, just get the 1060. If not, get the mostly better performing 480/580.

RX 580 8GB's at £215-220 and the RX 570's seem to be around £160-170, so a no brainer if you were going to get a 480 or 470.

the 8gb cards are a lot higher than that...think you're looking at the 4gb ones

AND FOR TNA and all the others that laughed at me when I said the top RX580's would come in at between £275 and £300.....guess what guys :) spot on. XFX, Saphire and Asus all around the £290 mark.

still wanting to find out the reason for spike increase in BF1, faster clock speed or is it more under the hood. gonna need a full list of games to see if it is.

I didn't see mention of the drivers used. With the 390 re-branding AMD released special performance drives for the 300 series only, but people were able to hack the firmware of the 290s in order to allow the 300 series drivers to install, and they then witnessed the exact same performance. Otherwise it could be small tweaks to power management/temperature etc. E.g., the firmware may allow a higher spike in power draw for a fraction of second to run more cores at a higher load and clock speed, this can help performance in the odd very heavy scene under some scenarios.

I generally think its a bit silly getting worked up about power use, but its a bit different when you have a top end card chugging down electricity compared to a relatively mid-range offering which should be power efficient relative to its performance.

I don't recall you saying top ones. You just said 580 will be £300 from what I recall. I found that funny then and still find it funny now :p;)

haha come on, please lmao. Are they or are they not priced where I'd say they'll be priced?? ;) And I'll let you go back and find the post if you want where I said they'd be closer to £300....and also where I said they'd fall between £275 and £300. I'm not going to get into a @#*! measuring contest tehehehe ;) :p
