20 Feb 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

The Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB is a high performing piece of gaming hardware, still confidently featuring in PC gamer computers. All games with system requirements of DirectX 12 or lower are met by this card.

Lets look at the Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB game performance guide for some of the biggest games played in 2021. In particular we will see how well this graphics card runs on Ultra settings on 1080p resolution as well as 1440p and 4K. We look at 1000 of the most demanding games available today and this GPU is better than the recommended graphics requirement of more than 735 games in the list.

A Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB card at 1080p is predicted to see a playable frame rate when running Far Cry 6 on Ultra - 32 FPS. Lets look at the performance its getting on Watch Dogs Legion which is 55 FPS. To add a bit more variety lets see how the popular World of Warcraft: Shadowlands performs on this hardware, which gets a playable 32 FPS.

Increasing resolution to 1440p is something a number of PC gamers are doing today. We tested the Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB at 1440p and researched how Far Cry 6 might perform on it leading us to predict a weak set of FPS results. These were, Low: 64 FPS, Medium: 51 FPS, High: 34 FPS and Ultra: 24 FPS. We then checked out Watch Dogs Legion which had a set of graphics results as followed, L: 111FPS, M: 87FPS, H: 59FPS, U: 42FPS. And another popular game was World of Warcraft: Shadowlands that returned L: 64FPS, M: 51FPS, H: 34FPS, U: 24FPS at 1440p. In summary we feel the Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB running at 1440p is a perfectly suitable selection of hardware for theis larger screen size. If a game at 1440p struggles a bit or experiences a frame drop then you can tweak settings in game to help get it stable. This might mean lowering it to medium or low in some specific options.

How many years will the Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB in your PC? There is still 2 years of top end gaming left in this Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB

Whats a good PC graphics upgrade for the Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB? If you want an upgrade suggestion for the Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB then a good choice would be 20 Series GeForce RTX 2060 3GB GDDR5 as this is better than 807 of the top 1000 most demanding game requirements with 22% better performance as well. Alternatively we would suggest getting a R-500 Series Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB, as it can run 908 of the top 1000 demanding game requirements today with 26% increased graphics performance.

Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB Game Requirement Analysis

Overview
First off we should point out that this is not the new AMD Vega graphics card line. The new AMD Radeon RX 500 series are an uprated version of the RX 400 series that they are replacing. This PowerColor RX 580 Red Devil Golden Sample graphics card is one of the two more powerful models from the new AMD Radeon RX 500 Series.

This RX 580 is the 8GB version and there is also the lower VRAM version, RX580 4GB available.

Architecture
It equips a GPU codenamed Polaris 20 XTX, which has 2304 shader processing units, 144 TMUs and 32 ROPs.

GPU
The Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB central processing unit runs at 1257MHz and goes up to a top 1425MHz when in boost and turbo mode with the reference RX 580 card's boost is 1340MHz.

Memory
The GPU accesses a 8GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock operates at 2000MHz.

Power Consumption
The RX 580 8GB has a power TDP requirement of 150W. This means it will require at least a 500W PSU with one dedicated 8-pin connector.

Performance
Early benchmarks indicate that the AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB will be similar in performance to the Nvidia GTX 1060 in terms of gaming performance. This puts the RX 580 8GB about 8% faster than the model it replaced, the AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB. Comparing the RX 580 to RX 570 we see 1440p frame rates around 8-15% better with the RX580 version

System Suggestions
The new PowerColor RX 580 Red Devil Golden Sample 8GB released on the 18th April 2017 and is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440. We recommend a high-end processor, like the new Ryzen R5 and at least 8GB of RAM for optimal gaming performance.
