conclusions
Based on the reference specifications, the Radeon RX 570, unlike the Radeon RX 580, replacing Polaris 10 chips with second-generation silicon did not bring almost any performance gain in gaming tests. Large shifts are only noticeable in non-graphical calculations. Of course, AMD has increased the power limit available to the graphics card to guarantee a higher GPU clock speed. However, many versions of the RX 470, especially those with an 8-pin auxiliary power connector, can handle peak frequencies with ease.
On the other hand, at reference frequencies under gaming load, it is the RX 570 that consumes less power than the RX 470, and not vice versa, as follows from the passport data of both models. Moreover, for overclocking to frequencies that are beyond the capabilities of most RX 470 models, the new product required a much lower GPU voltage, and full-size modifications of the Radeon RX 570, with a powerful cooling system and an eight-pin auxiliary power connector, will certainly allow you to reach great heights.
In terms of price positioning, the Radeon RX 570 was initially in a better position than the Radeon RX 580. Although both models are cheaper at suggested prices than their main rivals, the actual prices for the Radeon RX 570 and GeForce GTX 1060 with 3GB of RAM are on the one hand, both the Radeon RX 580 and GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB of RAM, on the other, start at the same marks. In this case, whose offer is more advantageous in terms of technical merits – AMD or NVIDIA?
As we remember, in the confrontation between the Radeon RX 580 and the GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB, an unstable parity was formed, but the RX 580 is losing ground in the 1080p and 1440p resolutions that are prioritized for GPUs of this level. The Radeon RX 570, on the other hand, even in the low-end configuration with 4 GB of RAM has on average the same, and most importantly, more predictable performance than the “cut” version of the GeForce GTX 1060. Anyway, 3 GB of RAM in modern games is not enough even at 1080p, not to mention higher resolutions. At the same time, the updated Polaris silicon has narrowed the power gap between the RX 570 and the GTX 1060 with 3GB of RAM, provided efficient overclocking and enabled the production of such compact models as the SAPPHIRE Pulse ITX Radeon RX 570. Therefore, we do not hesitate to award the victory in this round to the video card AMD.
