Those who really want to move onto the next-gen of PC monitors, or even hook up the graphics card to their new 4K TV will find support for high resolutions, as well as HDR video output, which is something I certainly welcome. Display connectivity options on the back of the card are excellent too, so a wide variety of displays will work without issue. Other very welcome technologies include FreeSync 2, making it ready for the newest FreeSync displays hitting the market. Of course, with Radeon Chill technology built-in, as well as a growing list of games which support it, you can drastically cut the power usage and thermals of your card by not having the GPU core work any harder than is needed to hit your target frame rate. If you’re keen to have a quiet computer, it’s an appealing option. Even while benchmarking we noticed the fan would only spin up after a few minutes of heavy benchmarking, and that speaks volumes about the quality of the heat sink. Speaking of thermal performance, the fact this card can run complete silent up to 60c is very impressive. They’ve also upgraded the cooling capabilities of the card, and that means it can maintain those higher clock speeds with ease, while still keeping the card well within a comfortable thermal target. Power Color, in particular, used the same PCB as their Red Devil RX 480, but they added significantly improved power delivery and MOS, which allows the card to run more efficiently and at higher clock speeds with improved stability. However many similarities are there, but there are quite a few changes too. There’s no hiding the fact that this card is basically a re-tooled RX480, we’ve known it’s a rebrand for a while now. ![]() It’s also slightly cheaper than most of the Nvidia GTX 1060’s on the market right now, and since the RX 580 is a little faster than the equivalent Nvidia card in most tests, that makes it very good value for money overall. What’s interesting is that the older RX480 which this is based on costs around the same, meaning you’re getting more performance for the same money. The Power Color Red Devil is one of the more expensive options, and you can expect a retail price of around $250/269EUR. The AMD Radeon RX 580 is here at last, and there are many variants of it hitting the market today. ![]()
