The card can ooze out roughly 6.1 TFLOPS in single precision performance (based on AMD claims / measurements). The 14nm FinFET+ process based Radeon RX 580 will have a 185 Watt TDP and has 36 CUs x 64 shader processors per CU = 2304 Shader processors).

The model tested is dual-slot based, 27 cm in length.  Above the TwinFrozr VI cooler and cooling design,  MSI placed extra shielding heatsinks over the GDDR5 memory as well as a heatsink directly on top of the VRM area.

You are going to spot a single 8-pin power connector that feeds the six phase design. Basically it delivers 150 Watts and then another 75 Watts is fed though the PCI-Express slot (depending on how the phase distribution is configured). In theory this means enough headroom for tweaking. So the backside has a nice back-plate with proper vents.

As stated monitor display outputs include one DVI, two DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and two HDMI 2.0b outputs. Overall the card design is more of the same in terms of aesthetics. Nice dark looks. The card also has been fitted with a proper back-plate.

On top you'll see the MSI / dragon logo, that on is RGB configurable. Of course, you can also turn them off as well. That RGB coloring of your personal preference does work wonders in a color toned PC. The LED system can be controlled individually by choosing any of the animation effects available in the MSI Gaming App, ranging from responding to your game sounds or music to steady light, breathing and flashing.
