Best Review Posted on Amazon Before Buying – Radeon RX 580
Customer Review 1 of Radeon RX 580: This card can handle games(destiny, fortnite, Pubg…etc) at high FPS with no issues. The card does use more power than an nvidia card with similar specs and also creates more heat. But at the same time value for the spec is great. As a product I would give it 4 stars however, XFX’s warranty service is surprisingly easy and fast. My card broke after a year of use, so I registered the product on their site, I received a response within 24 hours. They troubleshooted and determined the card needs to be RMAed, I sent the card back and I received a new one within a week after they received the defective card. They didn’t even require the receipt(required by most companies) even though I had it. It’s amazing service compare to my PNY nvidia experience which was like pulling teeth. I will definitely buy more XFX products in the future.
Customer Review 2 of Radeon RX 580: Used to be a big Nvidia fan. Then, I started encountering problems with their drivers. Fine, rolled back my driver to an older version. Then, my GTX 970 stopped working after only 1 year of use. Fine, sent it in and received a refurbished one. The refurbished one now has the same issue.
Bought the XFX GTS RX 580 8GB DDR5. 0 driver issues. Card still works after a few months and puts out a better picture then my 970. I’ll update my review if something goes wrong but, for now, I’m extremely pleased with this card both in terms of performance and price. I’ll be all to happy to continue buying AMD in future.
Customer Review 3 of Radeon RX 580: Shipping arrive on time and before I got home, which is a first. A few things to note:
1: This is a fairly large GPU, if you don’t have a Full Tower, or an opened-air mobo, your mileage with fitting this thing in a Mid Tower WILL differ
2: My old GPU require two 6-pin, while this GPU required one 8-pin, you will either need an 8-pin or a 6+2 pin to connect your power supply to your GPU, if you don’t have a powersupply that you modify, well you will need a new one.
3: For the price, this GPU is very strong, even if it is only a rehash of the 480… and being a year old. It can still run newer titles like Monster Hunter: World without too many problems.
4: Price-wise, having to compete with cryto-miners may increase the price of this GPU from time to time… very annoying.
5: This is a major update from my old HD 7950 (which still works for many games that are moderately intense and are new.)
