At 140€, I think it's a very good value for money. It slightly increases temperatures after about 2 hours of continuous gaming. I only use it for playing Overwatch 2 on epic settings.
Okay, a good graphics card for Fortnite that I play is awesome in creative mode, I get around 260fps and in-game about 170fps, sometimes a little more. For its price, I believe it's definitely worth it.
It was purchased through Skroutz for €135 + €2.50 cash on delivery fee and arrived on June 30, 2023.
It was installed in a 2011 hp xw8600 workstation (according to information from the hp website), with 2 xeon CPUs at 3.3GHz, 16GB RAM, and replacing a GeForce 1030 2GB. Initially, it was placed in the slot where the GeForce was, but it was too close to the heatsink of one of the two processors, so it was moved to the closer slot with the Sapphire RX550.
It was tested on World of Tanks, and according to GPU-Z, which I used to monitor its temperature during gameplay, it showed 100 degrees. In an attempt to adjust the fan speed, I downloaded MSI Afterburner, which I had used before, but it turned out to be a big mistake as I couldn't adjust anything and the program crashed, resulting in blue screens even after restarting. It was only resolved after multiple consecutive restarts, about two hours later.
Fortunately, I found the answer I was looking for in the user questions section below (thanks to the friend who answered the question), regarding an AMD article about overclocking on Radeon cards using Adrenaline. I followed some of the settings, but with lower values than those in the article (except for the fan speed, which I permanently set to 95%), so now the game runs with full graphics at 35-45 fps in the SD version, which is perfect for me since, as you may remember from biology, the eye perceives the motion of an object as smooth at 24 fps and above. It was also tested in the HD version, but the fps was 18-25, resulting in choppy motion. However, let's not forget the age of the computer, so the slot is PCI-2 and not PCI-4 or 5 like current motherboards.
According to the monitoring in Adrenaline, the temperature rarely reaches 60 degrees in a house with single-brick walls without insulation and even without a fan (hopefully that will change soon), but as I write this, it is 2:30 am and the temperature is 32 degrees.
I will provide an opinion on warmer hours of the day and its durability in the future.
For the money I bought it (170 euros - 2020), it is flawless and still performs everything even today. It can reach quite high temperatures and make noise when working at max, but it remains a very good choice even today if you find it at a very good price (especially used). I wouldn't recommend it for new ones as it is quite old and now, for the same or slightly more money, you can find better cards.
Guys, it is the BEST card I have ever had...
Of course, the money they ask for today is not playing, imagine that I bought it 3 years ago for 180€...
It is a little monster that does everything from vocal/instrumental record and edit (it doesn't need anything special but I mention it) to video editing quickly and effortlessly...
For games, it plays comfortably star citizen (medium), gta v (ultra), and any new game I serve and enjoy...
I am very satisfied and I recommend it at that time price, but it's not worth becoming a gamer now...
The card has made 20 and 30 times its money so far, whether for mining or gaming, it is still a powerful solution for 1080-2160p gaming for those who cannot afford to spend 800€ on an RTX3xxx. It will last for several more years. Of course, you can find it for around 250-300 at this time, much better than the 970/1060. The temperatures are typically at 64 degrees even in the summer, not high at all. Let's not even mention the older ones that reached 78-82
It was purchased in July 2020. I won't tell you the price because it will make you depressed. Just stick the euro symbol right next to the EKAB phone and you found it. Silent operation. It does not raise temperatures. I have been completely satisfied. With the price back then, it was value for money. Today, I wouldn't advise anyone to buy it.
I had bought it for €200 in April 2020, and having it for a year, I have realized that obviously we are talking about a graphics card that will play all games at 1080p resolution at least medium-high and most ultra settings at 60 fps, but this particular implementation raises temperatures a lot if it doesn't have strong fans, for example, at idle with fans at 800RPM and room temperature at 25C, it reaches 65C degrees, and in gaming, it comfortably reaches 80C with 90C. That's why if it goes back to its regular price of €200, I wouldn't recommend it to maintain good temperatures, even at idle, the fans should be at 2000RPM, then I have normal temperatures at 49C, which you shouldn't have fans so strong to reach this temperature when nothing is being played. Anyway, especially at this price it is now, it's not worth it for any reason, I would recommend an RTX 2060 which is priced at €600. Finally, for the money I bought it for, which as I mentioned again is €200, it is a mediocre choice.
Bought during the March 2020 quarantine, at a price of 170 euros for creating a budget PC for gaming and CAD (3D modeling). Overclocked at 1500 clock speed and 2250 VRAM, it plays Witcher 3 in 2k resolution with all settings on ultra at around 50 fps. A real gem, guys, but its current price due to the situation is very bad.
After 2 and something years of use, I can say that I have been satisfied with this particular card. Purchased in 2018 for 200€, it was considered the value-for-money king of 1080p gaming. Combined with an AOC 24" freesync monitor and Ryzen 7 2700 CPU.
In 80% of titles, the 8GB of memory is slightly excessive, for 1080p always. One characteristic to keep in mind is that the cooling is passive up to 50c and the slightly noisy fans kick in only when it exceeds this temperature. For more experienced users, a good solution is to adjust the card's BIOS settings. Undervolting the card is widely discussed in AMD forums as it achieves lower power consumption, noise, and more stable performance.
From newer titles, I can confirm that AC VALHALLA runs on high settings at 40-45fps.
In no case can I justify the price of the card in 2021.
Well, the card I tried about 2 months ago was worth around 180 euros. But now I see it's at 250, it's not worth that much. It's a 3-year-old card, it was worth it at 180 but I don't recommend it at 250
In the middle of the first quarantine, I bought it. The said card was running at 83-90 degrees Celsius, in games like Overwatch, Warthunder, resulting in thermal throttling and in some cases, even shutting down the PC. After almost 5 months of operation, I decided to change the GPU paste and take the risk of replacing the thermal pads with paste, although it is generally not recommended. I used the MX-4 paste. Dealing with the pads is a bit difficult and I do not recommend it to someone who is not familiar with the subject. Also, removing the heatsink from the card leads to 99% warranty void, be warned. The result is a temperature drop of 9-10 degrees Celsius. Stable operation at 72-73 degrees and idle at 35 degrees. Mixed feelings as the card is very worth it for its price (you get what you pay for in the end), but this temperature issue, although solved, is the reason for 4/5. Otherwise, I use it for gaming where I struggle for 144fps with high textures and 1080p resolution, as well as in the Unity engine. It is perhaps the best budget gaming graphics card at this price. I recommend it with a reservation. I will come back after a month to see how it goes.
More than a month has passed. So, the following happened. In the first month, everything was fine. After a period of 60-70 days, the temperature started to rise again. I suspect that as the paste "dried up," it stopped making good contact with the VRAM modules. Nevertheless, the PC has only shut down twice in difficult moments and operates with a much better average temperature.
Excellent card, for games at 1920x1080 resolution with everything on full, but depending on the games, you can easily increase the resolution with compromises in some settings. I have had it for 1 year and it will be on the system for a long time. Replaced an RX570 4gb. Absolutely satisfied.
Good evening, owner of this specific card for 2 years now, it's a beast for its performance and value. It can handle most games at 1080p with 80+ FPS without necessarily compromising on graphics, except for some demanding titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, for example. And for 1440p, it performs decently at 60+ FPS on medium-high graphics settings. Just be mindful of the temperatures if you don't have good airflow in your case. All in all, it's a great purchase for up to €170, even in 2020!
There are better implementations I have read, but I think it deserves 5 stars for its price (end of 2019). I have been using it for 7 months for video/photo editing, gaming, and scientific simulations. The temperature rises to normal levels, as my case is open, while the noise is non-existent when it is not under load due to Fan-stop, and not very annoying but present when it is. I noticed coil-whine in a few games in the menu, but never when the game was running and nowhere else. I finished the following games at 1080p 60Hz (vsync) mid/high settings without feeling that the system was struggling or experiencing frame drops, except in very demanding scenes:
Half-Life: Alyx (with Oculus Quest)
MS Flight Simulator 2020
Detroit: Become Human
Superliminal
Control (+ The Foundation DLC)
Gears Tactics
Doom Eternal
Prey (2017)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (emulator)
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Metro Exodus
A Plague Tale: Innocence
Resident Evil 2 (2019)
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
The system is ASRock mini-ITX B350, Ryzen 3600, 16GB 3200MHz RAM, NVMe Evo 970 Plus, 450W Silentstorm SFX
If there were half stars, it could take exactly 3.5!!! Perfect for its price. It makes a little noise when the turbines open.. I am satisfied but don't expect absolute performance, for an occasional game in good graphics that does its job.
The card is fine, I have had it since 2019 and it plays everything released up until today. However, do not pay more than 200€ for it. This specific implementation, although well-built, has a small cooler and has issues with overheating (I had to change the thermal pads and thermal paste and it still can't handle it), which forced me to create a custom fan profile in order to lower the temperatures, making it very noisy and annoying.
I built my first PC with the following components:
Gigabyte B450M DS3H (rev. 1.0)
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
G.Skill Aegis 16GB DDR4-3000MHz
XFX Radeon RX 580 8GB GTS XXX Edition (the 8-pin included in the package needs to be used)
LC-Power LC6550 V2.3
Crucial BX500 480GB
Cougar MX330-X
Everything connected properly and I was able to change the profile in the BIOS to run the memory at 3000MHz without any issues. The only problem I encountered was that the motherboard has 7 holes and the case doesn't have the ability to fit in that stand-off point. Nevertheless, I installed it with the 6 screws and it worked fine... I hope I won't have any issues in the future. As for gaming performance, I haven't had the chance to check yet, but based on what I've seen in videos and what's written here, I believe it will be fine for 1080p. Only time will tell about their quality and durability.
Update: I tested it on the following games: Tomb Raider (2013) at 1080p with max settings and 2x MSA averaging around 70fps, PUBG Lite at 1080p with ultra settings and Vsync at 75hz staying at 75fps, GTA V at 1080p with very high settings and FXA on MSAA x2 averaging around 65fps, and AC Odyssey at very high settings and 1080p averaging around 55fps. As for temperature, if you adjust the fans, you can easily play all games with a maximum temperature of 66 degrees. As for noise, I personally don't have any issues since I use headphones (I have 1 Arctic 120mm fan in the front and the stock fan, so 2x120mm in the front, another Arctic 120mm fan at the back, and 1 more on top. There is the possibility to add another 120mm fan on top and a 200mm fan on the side... In terms of value for money, compared to more expensive cards (both AMD and NVIDIA), this one was purchased at €167 at the time. Also, in the future, if I overclock the CPU and GPU, it will perform even better!
At approximately 166€, it's worth it. The manisio profile is funny for fans, the card works at high temperatures, mine reached 75 degrees Celsius, possibly even more. With MSI Afterburner, setting my own fan profile is quite good, now even with the heat it reaches 70 degrees under heavy load. It's a bit noisy when the fans are running above 70% of their capacity, but it's not something tragic. The sound is what I would call expected. On a system with an FX 8320 processor at 3.8GHz and 16GB RAM at 1866MHz, I can play everything on ultra and high graphics, achieving almost 60 fps in all games on an ultra-wide FHD screen. I also liked the build quality, very good. I recommend it for this price.
Purchased at 180€, I consider it to have good value for money. For everyday use with gaming at 1440p, video editing, etc. on MacOS (Hackintosh) and Windows. If you push it hard, it reaches 75-80°C depending on the case. When there is no load, the fans are at 0%, so there is no noise.
I bought it recently and it does its job very well, it doesn't lag and especially for me, who have my PC next to me and want everything to be silent, it has a 0db mode and when I don't use it much, it is completely silent! The only problem I had was with the driver programs, I downloaded the drivers from the normal AMD site and it said that Windows Defender was a virus, but my antivirus said it was 100% safe, but Windows Defender didn't want me to install it. In the end, I had to download the drivers from the Official XFX site and then I didn't encounter any other problems! Anyone who wants a good graphics card for 4K video editing without spending a lot of money, this is an excellent graphics card!
I have it for a few days now, but I tested it for gaming specifically with The Witcher 3 and Metro Exodus at 4k ultra graphics. It consistently reached 50 fps in both games. The only downside it has, although it doesn't create a problem, is that its operating temperature is around 70-75 degrees Celsius. I highly recommend it. It's almost half the price of a 1060 6gb and performs just as well, if not better
Plays everything on ultra at 1600. We're talking about BFV, PUBG, COD Warzone with over 70 fps. Quite cool, although you have to take out the silent mode and it's not completely noiseless, but not too noisy either (60 degrees at 100% usage for 8 hours and in an Innovator Daybreak case with poor airflow). I got it for only 100 euros refurbished. Best 100 euros I spent.
Now that I am writing the review, for its price it is value for money for a graphics card, it runs the latest games smoothly, if not on ultra settings at least on high settings.
The only thing that bothers me a little is the noise when the fans kick in, of course I have heard quieter and louder cards.
Although I found it used from a well-known Stock Refurbished store (120€), it has more significant positives in the price I bought it for than negatives, considering alternatives for an upgrade:
+ Price
+ Availability (you can find it everywhere at the moment, as the Bitcoin Mining Madness has ended and AMD is clearing out old stock)
+ Build Quality
+ Performance (both in general and considering the price you can find it for, if you find it below 170€)
+ Memory, Technical Specifications > it is still competitive for 1080p @ 60Hz monitors
- Outdated architecture
- Updates to drivers and general support will decrease in the near future (relative)
- There are now faster options in the series (RX 590) and more energy-efficient ones, for around 50-60€ more (not only from AMD)
- Not as aesthetically pleasing (subjective criterion) compared to other implementations (Sapphire, Gigabyte, ASUS)
- Power consumption (if annual consumption is of interest)
- Requires a slightly more powerful and reliable power supply
If you find it used or with limited warranty at a low price (below 150€), it is a good recommendation, even now (2019-20)!
I have noticed that several users mention some temperatures of the card, the temperatures that everyone mentions seem quite high to me, for those who may not know, they should enter the Radeon software and go to global settings, in global wattman or in each game profile separately, adjust the zero rpm setting to off and the speed/temperature to manual, and create a custom chart with the temperatures and fan speeds. Even in the most demanding games with ultra settings, I have never exceeded 62 degrees Celsius!!! In less demanding games, the average temperature ranges from 43 to 51 degrees. Only in games like, for example, Far Cry 5 with everything set to ultra and when it's very hot in the room, it only manages to reach 62 degrees.
This card, if you have proper airflow in your computer, even in 2K gaming, stays below 68 degrees. Until I fixed the airflow, it reached 86 degrees, which is bad. With the 5th fan I installed correctly, it doesn't go above 70 degrees no matter what.
And I tested it on:
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Fortnite
PUBG
LoL (the fans didn't even turn on)
Dark Souls 3
Sekiro
And Photoshop
On high-ultra settings, it easily reaches 90+ - 110+ fps. It's worth its money. I got it for 170 on a discount. Don't even think about it. It's value for money and runs all games with minor sacrifices.
