AMD Radeon RX 570 and RX 580 pose for the camera

[HEXUS]

Engineering sample of the RX 580 seems to indicate the card will ship with 8-pin power.

Let's see how aggressive the pricing is.

Hopefully, more aggressive than the overclock they've put on the cards...

As i commented previously my Sapphire 480 nitro+ is running at the 580 speeds already... Little disappointing. Saying that my 480 is a great card which keeps getting faster with each driver update.

Unless I am missing something here, apart from the fact it tips over the 6 TFLOPS mark, I imagine it would be more economically viable to just get a 480? I am interested in purchasing an AMD card for my son's budget build so I imagine once the 580 drops I'll be able to pick him up a 480 for a good price.

It depends....the manufacturing process may be more mature, combined with the 8 pin (instead of 6 pin) power means they may overclock better.

Guess we will see soon enough

You do know that some RX 480 OC editions are all ready running at that clock speed so tech lee there one in same other then power input

i just need another rx 470 for my crossfire. the rest of this is just new news.

We can't quantify or qualify these cards until we know the price.

Very true Graham, but I would surprised, even baffled if a 580 costs the same or less than a 480, maybe if the price is only £20 more than a 480 then it would be worth a purchase.

It should match or beat the 480 release price. If its £1 more, then its not even worth looking at.
480s will inevitably drop in price and if this the market segment for you, that would be the better buy without a shadow of a doubt.

For me the rx480 did run ok, but the noise is insane.
However i need something more powerfull than this little cards, so i do not believe it will be good enough.
I was hoping to see a fury x like powerhouse model with watercooling options.
So i will stay with the crappy 1070 i got now untill AMD releases a card capable of running 4k on my 32 inch monitor without sounding like a jumbo jet.
