MSI Intros Radeon RX 580 Armor MK2 Graphics Card As Well
A week or so ago we talked about MSI releasing a new updated version of the RX 570, called Armor MK2. MSI now also has added the Radeon RX 580 in this colorful edition.
Typically the Armor edition is black and white, however now a black and red one surfaced, it looks quite good actually. The first models introduced in the new jacket would be the RX 570 and RX 560 graphics cards and the respective OC versions, now the RX 580 follows. Other than the new color design, we do not spot any significant differences. The standard model offers a 1353 MHz core frequency with the OC model clocking at 1366 MHz.
TORX 2.0 FAN: Supremely silent
- Dispersion fan blade: Steeper curved blade accelerating the airflow.
- Traditional fan blade: Provides steady airflow to massive heat sink below.
- Double ball bearing: Strong and lasting core for years of smooth gaming.
Afterburner Overclocking Utility
- Wireless control through Android/iOS devices.
- Predator: In-game video recording.
- Supports multi-GPU setups.
Military Class 4 Components
- Certified to MIL-STD-810G standards for top stability and quality.
- Built with Hi-c CAP, Solid CAP, and New SFC components.
The Armor series always has been the more budget aware version of MSI graphics cards.

"1353 MHz core frequency with the OC model clocking at 1366 MHz."
What a joke, 13mhz more on the "OC" version. I wouldn't smear the OC series name with such a pathetic overclock. I hope the card has other features that make it worthy of being labeled OC edition.

Their "armor" coolers are their bottom tier. Miners are probably why they're releasing these, it's the cheapest they make, unless things have changed or I'm horribly mixed up.
What's the point of releasing new cooler models when these cards are all bought by miners? It's not like the miners would care.

we haven't seen so much RX 5** right now... all for minner, france and germany...
maybe we might see some of those if the moon enter in allignement with kepler and vega on the 35 of february...
For now there is still 1060 6g in shop...
Generaly the OC version from MSI can go near or even reach manufacturer OC limit...
On my point, i preffer 13mhz on the box and much more out of the box in manual OC than more on the box and few more when manual OC (like some EV*A, Sap***re etc...).
