The Asus Strix RX 570 is also overclocked, and at $189, it retails for $20 more than the GPU's base price. In terms of power, the card requires a 500-watt or greater power supply that has an eight and six-pin power connector.

It features two DisplayPort connections, two HDMI ports, and a DVI port. The GPU is overclocked by 110MHz, going from a boost speed of 1340MHz to 1450MHz. Sapphire's Limited Edition variant comes with 8GB of video RAM and sports two fans in a 'gun metal' finish. The Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 Limited Edition card that we received is overclocked, but at $275, it's also $46 more than the card's starting price. Pictured: Sapphire's RX 580 is on bottom. DesignĪMD usually sends reference boards for reviews, but this time around, the company sent us an RX 580 from Sapphire and an RX 570 from Asus. In addition, it's more power-hungry than the RX 470 and carries a 150 watt TDP, which is the same as the RX 480. Its 1244MHz boost speed makes it three percent faster than its predecessor. The RX 570 has also received a frequency bump over the RX 470. AMD recommends at least a 500-watt PSU for the card. This makes it slightly more power-hungry than Nvidia's high-end GTX 1080. On the downside, with a 185-watt TDP, the RX 580 consumes up to 35 more watts than the RX 480. This makes the RX 580 a 6.17 teraflop GPU. With its 1340MHz boost frequency, the RX 580 is 74MHz (six percent) faster than the RX 480. Its biggest advantage is that it offers faster core and boost clocks. It features the same amount of stream processors, compute units, and video RAM. As you can see from the spec chart above, the RX 580 is very similar to the RX 480 before it.
