  • The 8GB AMD RX 580 was an excellent mid-range gaming graphics card back in 2017. Six years later, it can still play modern games with at least 60FPS. Today we're testing 10 titles with this legendary GPU.

    Love your 'common-man' reviews. Most of the channels now take 1440p/4K and newest GPUs as the top priorities, but for a good chunk of crowd out there still holding onto their 1070s, 1060s and 580s/570s, you provide highly relatable benchmarks.

    • @remo27
      @remo27 Рік тому +67

      1080p is still the most common gaming resolution on Steam, and lots of cards from 4, 5, even 6,or 7 years ago are still perfectly viable for that. That's partly b/c of the pandemic and associated supply chain disruptions as well as the mining craze that both disrupted the adaptation of newer cards but also slowed the pace of technological progress down a bit. Plus, while it will be increasingly important for the future, right now hardware based real time ray-tracing isn't really very common in games and certainly isn't as viable on many of the newer cards( you really have to go expensive to get good performance with that enabled) as the industry pretends. Lastly , there's the 'upscaling' technologies from both NVIDIA and AMD that help extend the lives of some pretty darn old cards even farther.

      yeah I pretty much lsiten to zWormz for this reason, he is really very very good, him and Dawid. I like both those guys very much, these is three favourite channels of mine for older graphics hardware, I sometimes like Linus for making old rig enthusiasm stuff like classic PC components in mineral oil or heating his garage with mining, but he is often basically like salesman who shows off newest shiniest tech and he clearly used to playing with most top of the line stuff so much so he can simply drop Epyc processors like my next month salary is nothing to him. Meanwhile other channels are great for the everyman gamer. I think, they many time don't seem to understand or remember not everybody is USA/maplesyrupUSA/teandcrumpetsphere. Which is why I liek Jayztwocents, because, he listens and cares to the concerns of the everyman gamer and that not everybody is some rich "consultant" or "legitimate businessman" on the USA and there are people in other countries who watch these channels. So, it is very convenient to them.

    The rx580 is a beast of a card and has aged like fine wine. I bought mine in 2018 and it’s still rocking in 2023. Gives me solid FPS in wildlands, breakpoint rdr2.

      I mean in fairness and all honesty the 5700XT can be had now for $200 and that like the 1080ti remains a gold standard for gaming and can still make demanding games play at ultra settings 1440p and get at least over 30fps, which makes it still a perfect 1080p gaming card for literally all games. Which the RX 580 and GTX 980 or 1060 or 1650S is still a classic gold standard for intro to 1080p for the same reasons, basically it's get a 580 or 1060 if you want to game at 1060 30fps very high, and get a 1080ti or 5700XT if you want to game at 60fps all ultra. I do believe that basically the 2080ti is going to be called as the standard level performance for 1440p, much the way 3070 got 4k tier performance on release despite being crippled into being basically a 1080p raytracing card, which is sad because were it not for VRAM and had 12-16gb the 3070 or 3070ti would be a gold standard for 1440p.
      Also this is all nVidia's fault, literally. It still would be and SHOULD be $230 is the entrance fee, and it's only their scumfuckery that's been pushing the price so sky high a 60 level performing card is being priced as a 80 card and called a "70" card. Much the way the whole market's been fucked though I don't let AMD off the hook, those fuckers basically released a 7800XT for $900 and rebranded it as "7900XT" then pretended like they were not releasing a 4090 competitor, because basically their TDP was shit and they didn't want to be a pathetic meme like nVidia with their card literally bursting into flame and burning your house down because they knew that tards always would buy nVidia's halo bullshittery no matter what and so it was sorta pointless, also because they couldn't justify the price so easily, but yes the 7800XT basically just got rebranded as a 7900XT and price gouged tf out of us for turning a $650 card into a $900 card because nVidia's sleeze made it stupid for a heartless corpo to not price gouge their card also. What really they should have done is called it what it is, a 7800XT, and just priced it at $700 and they would've slaughtered nVidia. I think fanboys are pretty dumb, but they're not THAT dumb they wouldn't switch brands and dump the 4080 like a hot sack of shit and jump on the 7800XT. Maybe they got really dispirited and demoralized by RDNA2 not selling like it should have, given RDNA2 was the first generation in a decade where AMD cards were literally superior to nVidia cards across the entire stack.

    I'm using a 580 right now and I adore this thing! In the lead up to Half-Life: Alyx I needed to upgrade on a budget, and took a chance on an eBay listing that may or may not have been an ex-mining card. For ~$140, at a time when most of them were substantially more expensive, I got an 8GB Sapphire Nitro+ variant that ran the game well enough for me to thoroughly enjoy the experience. Paired with a secondhand Xeon E3-1275L v3, it's not up to the demand of the best looking modern titles, but I play mostly older stuff (e.g. Quake at 1440p by way of Ironwail), or newer games at lower settings, combined with a bit of video editing in Resolve, all of which the card handles comfortably. I'm thrilled with what I got for my money; well done AMD!

      ​@@Loundsify Pardon the self promotion, but I have a video series on my channel showcasing my first playthrough, if you want to see what sort of framerate I was dealing with; I don't remember exact numbers, but I had a mostly comfortable experience. As I recall I had most of the quality settings turned down except for textures (the main reason I went for an 8GB model instead of e.g. a 6GB 1060). There's noticeable slowdown in a couple spots, namely the late game trainyard fight with all the antlions, but most of that is the fault of recording video at the same time. Trying those areas again without any video encoding showed an improvement, if I remember correctly. I was playing with a Dell Visor WMR headset, and the resolution was quite low most of the time, so it certainly wasn't a premium experience, but it was playable and bang for my buck was through the roof. I still loved HL:A, and all the lower-end compromises I had to deal with to run it almost immediately faded into the background and let me get totally absorbed in the game.

    I'm glad you finally decided to show this card some love. I've been using the RX480 8GB version since launch and it's still fantastic for 1080p. Back then it was trading blows with 1060/6 for sure, but the VRAM was a deciding factor for me along with AMD's trend to have "fine wine" GPUs. Vulkan was also giving this card a big boost over the 1060, though maybe it's different nowadays. The card allowed me to set high textures in games even if I had to lower some other settings. They are available for a pittance right now, but running them in Crossfire isn't gonna help you at all.

      For single player games, I'm usually happy with 45, or even 30 FPS if I love the game enough. To me, 60FPS is only a minimum for really hard single player games (Without difficulty settings for instance) or multiplayer games. But then, my first PC was an XT, and my first real gaming PC was a 386 based system which I had playing the original DOOM (admittedly it was the 40mhz AMD chip inside so performed better than most 386 systems). Coming from my first video game console being the venerable Atari 2600 maybe I just have different standards.

    • @TheSpotify95
      @TheSpotify95 Рік тому

      Yeah, as you say, it all depends on the game and what you're happy with, although usually, 60fps is considered to be a good target for smooth gameplay.
      My first experience with PC gaming was on a HP Pavilion with integrated graphics, and I struggled to get more than 20FPS out of F1 2012, and 15FPS out of F1 2015.

Where they're trying to push the system requirements to unreasonable specs. I'm guessing newer GPUs aren't selling well and they have to force people somehow.
      Because if you look at newer games they don't look that good compared to some games released 10 years ago to justify the requirements.

I love the amd cards and performance. Admittedly all cards have hiccups here and there but amd had the most driver issues I had ever dealt with but that may just be because I used amd from the r9 290 up to the 6700.

I picked mine up for £115 refurbished just before GPU prices went ballistic...so in that time its lost what...£30-40 of value.
