New GPU

[Omega_]

For AMD gpu's always stick to AMD only brands, Asus, MSI & Gigabyte all treat AMD's gpu's like second class citizens by often using cooler parts they've developed for Nvidia cards, they often get caught out in ways such as using an Nvidia heatsink that isn't up to the job. The best options are Sapphire & Powercolor, XFX too but I'd be interested in hearing why there's no XFX 500 series here at OCUK, I find it strange as they had the best 480 on the market but when the 580 released they disappeared?

Can you msg me and give me links too sapphire and powercooler rx 570 8gb?

I don't think this cooler will be a problem on a 570. There cards dont take a lot to cool.

Yep, it cools adequately just makes a fair bit of noise doing it. Nothing wrong with the temperatures themselves though.

Sorry but I haven't got links to anything I'm talking in general & to be honest I think that with a 200 max budget the smart choice would be to grab the Powercolor RX 580 Red Dragon while the games are still available. If you don't want the games sell them and then you got a decent RX 580 for the price of the MSI 570. Just don't wait to long or you might lose the game bundle. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/powe...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-18l-pc.html

You'd think not and I've not tried that particular card I just think that sticking to AMD only brands is playing it safe, I had a horrid MSI TFIV 290x Gaming &, I grabbed a Gigabyte RX 560 a while back that was loud and hot & that was at stock in a big case, It was a horrible card but being low end you'd of thought that heat and noise wouldn't be an issue, but it was. ASUS's DCUII 290 & 290x are well documented as mingers, Gigabytes 480 got a bad rep due to J2C's review and I then went and grabbed one of their 560's, I should have known better.

I don't know, measure your case or look it up and it should give you the space on the store page or on the manufactures own page for that case, Missing the games bundle (ends today) was a mistake, you could have got a 580 for the price of the 570 after selling the games.
