ASUS Radeon RX 580 STRIX review -
Product Photos
Alright, so there she is; the Radeon RX 580 STRIX from ASUS we received is an 8 GB version with the all familiar heatpipe slash radiator design cooler. It has one PCIe PEG power connector (8-pin). The card has been designed to be a nice match for Full HD gaming, up-to 1080P and even 1440P. The PCB is as mentioned matte black in color, and of course the new revision cooler is being used which includes new IP5X fans that are more dust resistant.
In our findings the card is roughly 10% faster compared to the Radeon RX 480, and at 269 USD with 8GB that's not a bad position to be in. Obviously there's more to check out other than performance, we'll have a peek at PCB heat levels, GPU temperatures as well as noise levels.
This Radeon RX 580 is armed with 8 GB graphics memory which will be clocked at 8.0 Gbps / 256-bit to give you a little more leash with the higher resolutions and image quality settings. The reference clocked product will run with clock frequencies up-to 1257 MHz on its 2304 shader processors with a 1340 Boost, this model comes clocked in at 1411 MHz at default settings. The card itself is a dual-slot solution, it is composite heat-pipe based, the GPU is cooled by a nickel-plated copper base plate connected to heat pipes on this MAXCONTACT series graphics card. In low-load situations the fans stop spinning when they are not needed. Up-to roughly 60 Degrees C thus the fans will not spin. The LEDs embedded in this graphics card can be controlled with the ASUS AURA APP and is RGB configurable with a few animations as well. Also, check out that backside where there is a thick sturdy metal back-plate with some venting spaces applied as well. BTW the ROG logo is LED RGB lit as well.
This Polaris 20 based product has been designed to be a match for the most popular Full HD and Wide Quad HD resolutions. Actually, it places a strong focus on 1440P gaming. ASUS includes two HDMI (2.0b), two DisplayPort 1.4 (HDR ready) connectors as well as a DVI connector.
At the rear end you'll spot two FAN headers which you can use to connect fans to. They will spin at the RPM levels of the fans on the graphics card.
