If they're around the 580 performance then if at £200 quid that'll do for nowadays! Although if using 4GB... not sure how useful that would be even at 1080P?

Absolutely fine for the target market of esports style games - Fortnite, Rocket League, CSGo, etc. and probably fine on a lot of other games with Textures set to Low or Medium rather than High or Ultra.


Edit:
Whilst I personally wouldn't want to buy one, if they had released an 8GB model only then it would have been at least £50 more given the recent GDDR price hikes.

£50 more is still a lot cheaper than anything else out there.... although 8GB would make it more attractive to miners, so add an extra 0 to that :/

Those wondering what the numbers mean puts it between RX 570-580 performance levels which was and still is a competent 1080P gaming card. I believe the power consumption is much lower!

And a reminder to people that we live in 2022, where an RX570 that had been used for 5 years and has no warranty sells for £200.
