Great Card! Should have had RGB or at least have the LOGO back-lit with an LED... Sigh =|

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018

I bought this card at $USD 299.99 in July 2018. The XFX LOGO is not RGB nor an LED - its just ... white (I knew this before my purchase but just sharing this info for those ppl looking building a PC based on looks). It does have a tiny blue LED above the 8-pin power connector visible through the side of the PC case - but its a standard LED and not anything artistic.. seems to be there just for function or diagnostics - is always on as long as the PC is powered.
This card is Dual BIOS and has the switch on beside the 8-pin power connector. XFX calls one BIOS as "Gaming BIOS" and the other as "Mining BIOS" according to the website. My findings are firstly there is no automatic GPU boost. Secondly, the 'Gaming Bios' (default) runs 1150MHz core and 2100 VRAM (8.4GHz). When you switch to what XFX calls the 'Mining Bios' it is 1405MHz core with VRAM 2000MHz (8GHz) the latter being a respectable and repeatable 10% uplift in graphics performance which I tested in Unigine Heaven 4.0 benchmark (1080p, Ultra, 8xAA, Tessellation Extreme) from 50 fps to 55 fps. Radeon Driver Version Adrenaline 18.5.1, Win 10 x64, FX-8350 stock :D
My only complaint so far is IMO for this price they should have at least back-lit their logo when the card is powered on - no reason why this would have been impossible. Not many cards give you a manually selectable Dual Bios feature and this is the only reason i bought it over the competition - which have RGB... :D
Performance: Well its a RX-580... and that is the tier of performance to expect. XFX however claims this XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition can do at least 1425MHz on the core for an overclock (I haven't tested this) but the card DOES NOT come running 1425MHz out of the box but 1150MHz so the marketing may be misleading to some ppl I suppose - I doubt that was their intention but it can potentially mislead. 1405MHz - what they market as "True Clock" on their website is the actual GPUcore speed u get once you have the overclocked bios switched on - I mean the 'Mining BIOS' in XFX terminology lol. I hope that explanation helps but I guess the message they want to get across from posting the cards as 1425MHz+OC is - this speed is guaranteed attainable according to them and that these possibly are among the best Polaris Dies in these "GTS Black Edition" cards.. Over Clockers will know that info means to them... So.. Yes the card is actually is clocked at and sustains 1405MHz on the core w/ VRAM 2000MHz(8GHz) - Just switch on the 'Mining BIOS'...
The fans are quiet yet powerful to keep it cool and they shut off under 50 degrees Celsius as long as you don't change fan profiles in software eg. MSI afterburner or Radeon settings, etc - you can however change the target temperature in radeon settings and the card still runs the fans to meet your desired temp and shut off once it goes under 50 Celsius.
The card performs as a RX-580 should and runs with no complaints... I also have been running dual 1080p monitors some weeks now for work purposes from it.
I do like the card - I just tried to provide a lot of info i believe some ppl will overlook or be misled by or mention things that are not stated in the description of the item nor website. These are all facts - wanting RGB and lighting is my personal preference. I will let y'all know if the card does something weird over time :D

If you like flickering and crashing this video card is for you

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2021

I just built a computer and got this video card to go with my samsung 49" curved display. When playing low quality graphics games this card works as expected. In Windows in general the display looks very sharp. When playing any game that is graphically intense (even with graphics turned down) this card is unstable. Games work amazingly well 20% of the time. 40% of the time there's a bad flicker and the rest of the time the games crash.

Update: I have to update this... I'm downgrading to a 1 star because watching a streaming video service causes it to crash. I have never had to hard restart a computer as often as I have on this one. It's ridiculous.

The RX 580 is the bang for the buck leader @ 1080p

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

NOTE: This review is for the RX 580 8GB OC Edition. I purchased this card in May 2017.

The RX 580 8GB is the best bang for the buck for 60-144fps gaming at 1080p. This particular card comes with a factory OC to 1425Mhz on the GPU core. The base reference RX 580 cards have a 1256Mhz standard clock and depending on the model, can boost to the 1400Mhz range, so this is an impressive OC on the surface. The problem I found is that the card can't hold respectable temperatures at this high of a clock. My example would routinely hit 84-85C. Using a custom fan profile via MSI Afterburner only helped slightly but fan noise became a problem as I don't always game while wearing a headset. I decided to clock my example down to 1300Mhz (later bumped to 1350Mhz). Real world performance took no noticeable hit and benchmark performance only fell by 3-5%... but the card temps dropped by 12-15% and now peak in the low-to-mid 70s. The fans spin much slower now as well. Your mileage may vary, but I didn't think the wear and tear and heat was worth no noticeable performance gains. My example was stable with memory OC'd to 2250Mhz, which gives a slight boost to benchmark numbers.

Overall, this is a quality card for the 1.5 years that I've owned it as of this writing. Still tears through every game I've thrown at it... Most recently being BFV, which on ultra settings I'm typically in the 75-95fps range depending on the map and the amount of craziness going on around me. If you have no plans to move to 2k/4k displays anytime soon, then this is a great card for the price. It chews through 1080p like a champ.

Top Notch RX 580 for Reasonable Price

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Quick update:
It's a little more than 1 month into owning the card and it is still awesome and working great. Very satisfied with this purchase!

Pro:
* Easily clocks to 1425 Mhz (GPU) and 2050 Mhz (RAM) using Afterburner program. Did not require any boost in power or voltage to hit overclocks. Card is extremely quite during operation under these conditions even while bench marking using Unigine Heaven test.
* Looks fantastic with the faux carbon fiber of the shroud. I do wish the logo on the side lit up, but sadly it does not.
* Runs all my games well at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Cons:
* Size is quite immense, but it is OK in the Thermaltake F31 case for me. If you have a small form factor (SFF) case, this might not work in your case.
* Does not have any LED lighting, so no frills like that to add to my PC's motif. I knew this going into the purchase. I just did not want something to clash with my blue scheme and this card is fine.

Thoughts:
* I would highly recommend this card for anyone looking for an upgrade from the R9 270X (my previous card) or older. It will be a major upgrade and improve game play for you.
* I received the game bundle and have it installed. It took a few days after purchase for the code to arrive. Once it did the code had already been used. I reported the problem to AMD Rewards and they supplied a new one that worked. Satisfied customer!
* I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would buy this again in hindsight.

This hit a sweet spot for my budget

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020

It might just be me, but a lot of the complaints about sold out graphics cards lately seem to come from the ultra high-end current gen category. The only part hard to find in my case (pun intended) was an ideal mini itx case due to the best ones selling out, or in the case of nzxt, removed from the market (H1).

I didn't wanna break 1000 bucks on my build, and found this readily available with an impressive value for 8 gigs of vram, teamed up with a ryzen 7 2700x to make my system an all around workhorse. I rarely experience current gen gaming until this build since I don't console game, so first loading up ARK at full settings and looking at the water was something to behold.

I'm a somewhat casual gamer who plays a mix of graphics intensive AAA games, and less demanding genres like rhythm gaming and side scrolling (not both tho, sorry Musedash). From that perspective I can say this is a great midrange card that should suit current gen games relatively well for a number of years. It'll be a number of generations before I can even tell this card is old.

Great value for money

This was the second card I got for my machine. I have a new Ryzen 5, 3600XT system with a B450 chipset. It is used exclusively for video editing. The fist card I got was a Radeon 5600XT GDDR6 card from Microcenter.
I have a small case with a 430w Power Supply, and even with the new Ryzen, it would not run in my PC at all.
I went online and discovered that there is about a 20% overall difference in performance between this and that one, and in 2d applications, they were nearly identical.
Because I use the Vegas editing software, Nvidia is not an option for me, so this looked like the best bang for the buck.
I was pleasanly surprised, this can render a 20 minute, 4k video in about 8 minutes. That is a good number. I was also pleased with the build quality, which was far superior to the Red Dragon it replaced. AMDs autoconfiguration ultility made this a cinch to setup, and I have not experieinced any of the driver issues people talk about.
Again I cannot compare this to an Nvidia card, but for half the cost of the newer card, for video editing, this is an excellent value.

XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition not that great

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019

1. Single Screen works amazingly well for gaming, video watching and anything else.
Dual screen epic fail, a lot of screen screen, static screen, black screen and even no connection to second screen what so ever. Sure you can go into the Radeon settings hit apply every time to fix the issue, but it will last from minutes to seconds.
2. Runs very hot even when settings lowered, I mean very hot the back panel is ridiculously hot and I have 3 fans blowing intake air over the graphics card.
3. It forces HDR even when you turn it off, which by the way happens every time you go into radeon settings and hit apply to try to fix my second screen.
4. Still working with AMD to get my games that are supposed to come with purchase of product. Oh yes the code I received was expired, but email from AMD says it is not so its a headache at this point.
Also on a side note email form AMD says wait till closer to expiration date to contact them to get issue resolved, I have that email saved and to be honest does not sound right at all. But will update if I ever get this issue resolved. If not I will never by AMD again.

Gaming at 60 FPS walk in the park. Very good value when purchased.

Very good value for this card when purchased. Running Ryzen 7 system, 16GB 3000Mhz ram, B350 board. FPS are not a issue at all with 1080p gaming. Running Destiny 2 max setting at only see dips down into the 75 FPS range, running 85 - 95 FPS most the time. Have done to OC+ to 1425 Mhz as they list, couldn't see much difference honestly, you want to adjust the fan speeds from factory settings however, was getting up to around 86C when gaming, after adjustment sitting 70-72C. Fan do make some noise afterwards, but gaming with a headset as i do, it's a non-issue. if you want run max settings on 144 hz or higher resolutions i would likely step up to gtx1070 or higher. For me, i was only interested in 1080p 60 fps currently. And this is perfect for me. Don't hesitate on this if that's your needs.

Good Option for Multi-GPU Builds

I actually switched from an R9-290X by the same manufacturer... I had thought the previous card had died, but it turned out to be a short in the PSU cable. It's a newer chipset, yet there is no readily apparent performance increase. Despite having higher clockspeeds, if you take a look at the details (render output processors, memory bus & bandwidth) and the resulting rendering abilities, it turns out to be far from a proper upgrade from the top of the R9 series - they cost nearly the same to this day for a reason. On the bright side, I have noticed a greatly reduced heat output (and power consumption) from this one: originally planned to use two R9-290X in parallel, but quickly realized I could heat my room with one in the dead of winter... Summer was another story... If you're limited to one card, or one of your PCIe ports can only run at 8x, you may want to reconsider your options. If you're planning a proper Crossfire setup in this price range, definitely go for a couple RX 580. It is evidently more power-efficient; the fans don't turn on at all in basic computer use, even running 2560x1440 at 144Hz during the summer.

50% fail rate ***EDITED***

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

EDIT: After further troubleshooting with the GFX cards (I run Xfire) I have resolved the issue and found out that the motherboard PCIE bus has died. I original ly believed the cards to be an issue after swapping my cards around and swapping busses. After using my second card as a primary the bus eventually died and tge second bus followed not long after. Looks like the south bridge completely STB. Until this point the cards DID work flawlessly so I have changed my review, I do believe these are good cards even considering my review below and may reconsider purchasing XFX cards in the future again.

I have used XFX since my first card I bought from them, the HD5770 x2 and for a couple years they put out decent cards but lately since the RX series came out - I have been getting 50% fail rates and this card is no different. At this point I am done with XFX and won't buy their brand anymore. My recommendation is buy another vendor.
