hello everyone I'm Dimitri with our Canucks thank you for joining us Amy just launched the rx 500 line so make sure to subscribe and kill across that notification belt to be part of the notification squad for all of our upcoming rx 500 contents now you can see this launch as a refresh not exactly as a rebrand so let's see if they're on the right track and is it time to upgrade find out after this cool master master keys keyboard lineup is now available and three sizes to fit within your space with large medium and small boards with either beautiful RGB or pure white LED illumination a little something for everyone make it yours with the master keys Pro by Cooler Master all right so let's dive right in with the key points about the rx 500 lineup so first it's using the same Polaris 10 architecture from the RX 400h using the 14 nanometer FinFET process with improved power efficiency during light loads and AMD is really pushing hard on radio and chill that renders only frames that are needed while consuming less power and running cooler the four variants are the RX 585 75 60 and the 550 so spending broad range covering all the way from a few GS stuff to competing with iGPS the RX 580 has the same number of stream processors as the arcs 480 but with much higher clock so around 12% increase on the base and 6% increase on the boost with promising Headroom for overclocking hmm overclocking Headroom huh we'll see about that the TDP has seen an increase to 100 85 watt and 200 watts on some overclocked models and it's priced exactly the same as the our Expo 80 and we will see both four gigabytes and 80 Mike models to fill in that gap between the gtx pen six is three and six gigabyte models moving on to the RX 570 it's pretty interesting because it has the same amount of extreme processors arabes and texture units as the RX 470 but with the massive increase in frequencies 26% increase on the base clocks and only 3% on the boost versus the RX 470 it is priced around 170 to 190 dollars so it should compete with the gtx 750ti the RX 560 and the 550 covered the sub $100 price points so let us know if it won't these covered channel but in this video you will see benchmarks for 14 games man that is a lot of work we should all thank our lab in Montreal Thank You sky both at 1080 and 1440p with two variants for the arcs 580 and you can also read our full article below first card is the sapphire rx 580 Nitro+ limited edition which is a beat I has been rx 580 with a 14 10 megahertz boost and a second bias available for 14 50 megahertz overclock and it's priced at to a USD the second card is the XFX rx 580 GTS xxx Edition xxx really but it has a more reasonable price point of 240 dollars and a slight twenty six megahertz overclock on the boost frequency compared to reference so let's begin with 1080p benchmarks notice we are using the 1% minimum to better portray performance fluctuations and in the stack are the arcs 480 GTX 1060 founders Edition and dbg superclocked alongside the GTX 970 founders Edition you can see the arcs 580 cards fare pretty well against the GTX 960 and offer an attractive Delta of about 5 to 13 percent increase over the originals are explained I do want to mention overwatch and GTA 5 were the only games with the AMD cards in the bottom three moving on to 1440p resolution it seems that the RX 580 takes an extra lead over the gtx 960 in majority of games and again Amy occupying the three lowest spots and games like overwatch GTA 5 and titanfall 2 but still fairly close to the gtx 960 acoustically these two cards are some of the quietest we've ever tested and this will vary of course based on board partners and their own cool design but check this out temperatures are in total control stabilizing around 75 degrees Celsius on both cards with totally stable frequencies as well and that is excellent to see and based on these gaming results the RX 580 seems to be an excellent option around the $250 price point and is a clear winner come when compared against the gtx 960 so Nvidia price cuts maybe now when we did our follow up with the RX 480 is performance with maturer drivers we actually saw a significant boost in performance so hopefully the RX 580 carries that trend forward but there are two caveats regarding this new cards first of all is power consumption it is actually pretty high just as much as the foundation gtx 1070 and that is 70 watts more than the gtx 1066 gigabyte version and two overclocking do not bother after hours of thinking with Walkman we were only able to achieve 60 megahertz on both cards as an increase from there you know perspective boost clocks so it is very limited but that is after hours of crashes and instabilities and stuff so overclocking on the rx 500 series is limited and to wrap things up the RX 580 is a fantastic targets for maximum 1080p gaming and 1440p on high something that the GTX pens 66 give bike model sort of lags behind and there's a lot of potential for excellent competition around the 240 260 dollar mark and if you've been considering a gtx 1066 gigabyte model would you consider team red now the RX panini is out let us know in the comments i also want to mention the RX 570 is already in the lab so make sure to subscribe for that school benchmarks and or deal with comparisons I'm Dimitri how are snacks thanks so much for watching we'll see you in the next video
