Contrast with RX 480
Now, we will compare the Radeon RX 580 with its predecessor and determine if the new generation can be a worthwhile alternative. Note that there are different characteristics between the two devices.
| model | RX580 | RX470 |
| Basic frequency GPU | 1.257 MHz | 1.120 MHz |
| GPU frequency overclocking | 1.340 MHz | 1.266 MHz |
| Polaris Edition | 20 | 10 |
| Pixel fill rat | 42,88 GPixel / S | 40512 GPixel / S |
| Texture fill rate | 192,96 GTexel / sec | 182304 GTexel / sec |
| Calculation performance | 6,125 TFLOPS | 5,833 TFLOPS |
| power consumption | 185 watts | 150 watts |
| average cost | 25,500 pages. | 19 600 rubles. |
All other specifications are the same.
From this comparison we can see that the power of these cards is very similar, but at a cost and power consumption of 580 RX is clearly lost. Due to these performance improvements, the payback period is increased. This increases the risk of investment. If you build a farm, you must take care to reduce energy consumption.
The RX 470 wins in this regard because there is a chance that you can start Minnie immediately, not necessarily even changing the firmware and configuring the driver.
Heshreyt, we can make most of the algorithms different when the graphics card is different. RX 580 (not all models), only a few wins in this matter. However, in both cases, the air can be maximally over 30 MH / sec.
From this it can be concluded that RX 580 and 570 are similar to series RX 480 and 470. And this is not the cheapest. But customers have no choice because the early series are no longer found in the market. And the rest is so high, it’s cheap, buy all the new series.
