a newcomer has made their way into the graphics card market and this is the rx 580 from asrock they also have other variants ranging from the RX v 7t r x 560 and 550 though today we're going to take a look at this one the flagship of the bunch that they have released here of course it's not a flagship card but it is the best SPECT car that asrock are going to be offering at least for now I'm also gonna take a look at what makes this card so special in particular if there's actually anything special about it at all let's roll that intro welcome back to tell us city there's Brown coming to you guys today with the 600 gram as rock phantom gaming rx 580 now there is no back plate as well so they've gone with the whole value orientated lineup I believe because they haven't quite provided me with pricing yet and apparently AMD have already blocked the sales of these cards in EU or Europe due to certain limitations so it's actually not as rocks fault there's got to pass some laws and regulations and hopefully they will be for sale in the EU in the future as it stands though this card will be hitting shelves in Australia in America at least to my knowledge I will update the description below with pricing but what you're getting with this 600 gram cooler is two fans that go up to 3800 rpm I could not believe how much air these two fans are pushing of course they do get extremely loud and I'll let you guys take a quick listen however as you see in the benchmarks later on 100% fan speeds is really for me only testing the max limits of this cooler itself and also when you've got the stock Auto fan settings it doesn't sound too bad it goes up to around 55 60 % fan speeds and of course the sounds of these levels aren't too bad now up until 50 degrees the fans will switch off completely and so even in overclocked mode you don't have to worry about any noise as even when it's overclocked itself it only uses around six to seven watts of power so the idle power consumption doesn't really change at all but the power consumption on load is a little bit worrisome you can see that overclocking does indeed put a lot more strain on the GPU itself going from 145 watt to 175 watt and then near 200 watt when we overclocked this graphics card now you've probably seen the thermal paste video already if you haven't I'll link it up here but we did change the thermal paste around on this graphs card with Gela GC extreme though this is a really good thermal place that's some of the best in the biz so it does speak lengths to the little minor details or ramble about this card a little bit later in the review let's pull up some gaming benchmarks for you guys which I'm sure you're dying to see first test we have here 3d mark firestrike you can see that the RX 580 this one on the bench when I overclocked it the results are phenomenal we're getting over 16,000 points just to put things into perspective I think that's getting close to the Vega 56 at least out of the box so this card is a little beast and keep in mind though as ROC could have sent over one of their golden samples as this is personally one of the best scores I've got with an iris 580 in 3d mark 5 strike out of the box still getting really good scores so over 14,000 points dual point something out if you get this graphics card even just changing that power limit slider of course it will increase power consumption but you will get a tangible benefit by just doing one little easy to do trick and of course looking those results beating out the gtx 1066 gigabyte both out of the box and overclocked they're moving on in our first game Kingdom Come deliverance here we saw a victory for the RX 580 overclocked versus overclocked I'm looking at mainly these numbers because as an enthusiast I love overclocking I love looking at the overclock figures so this 1060 itself was no slouch either went to over 2.0 5 gigahertz on the core though moving over to GTA 5 we saw a victory again for this overclocked rx5 18s it's typically a game that does go a little bit in favor of Nvidia just a tiny bit so as we can see here over time AMD has seemed to optimize this game in the driver support for their cards to make do with better frame rates and that's exactly what we're seeing with the RX 580 getting the edge out in this game to move over to Final Fantasy 15 of course this being in the video title I did turn off those Nvidia unique features such as hair works to make this a fair comparison and honestly I don't use them in my everyday gaming life as I believe they're just not really worth it especially for some of the frame dips that you can get not to mention the point 1 percent low stuttering but here we saw these gtx 1060 did edge out the RX 580 both stock and overclocked that is to be expected being a relatively new title on PC and also being that of an Nvidia title the moving out of pub G I always test in the ruins section lots of stuff going on lots of pillars lots of open world lots of graphically intense settings 1080p ultra settings here we saw the neck-and-neck battle between these two graphics cards though out of the box of GTX 1060 did really edged out just a little bit over the out-of-the-box rx 580 and moving on to the last game we've got ashes of the singularity I initially thought this was an AMD title but it seems the Nvidia card did take the win on the dx11 GPU focused benchmark when I changed it over D X 12 or Vulkan I can't specifically test the GPU for some reason it's only got a CPU only test and to be honest I don't even know what's so appealing about ash is a singularity but anyway when all comes down to it the RX 580 phantom gaming from asrock is actually a really solid attempt for their first go in the graphics card scene I know a lot of people ask me when I posted a picture up on Instagram of this thing they were like why is asrock even bothering to get in so late in the cycle and i think it's actually a brilliant idea they're gonna be sending these out to reviewers they're gonna sell a few on the market and I guess they want to gather as much feedback as possible so when they released the six series cards or if that's what AMD is going to go with 600 series they're going to have a product that is perfected by the time it hits the market so they can get some feedback from me I think the fan speeds are a little bit loud at a hundred percent even though they push a lot of air I also would like to see a backplate included though just besides the backplate I maybe like to see even the azrog logo light up even with RGB and you can change that in software to give it maybe a temperature indicator so you know if your cards for some reason getting really hot you can switch the system off always do like RGB when it's the functional type though speaking of functionality there's also as rocks own software that is included with its graphics card and it's actually not bad especially for a first implementation I like the fact that you can overclock the actual vram and change the voltages directly to that vram something that I don't believe I haven't seen in MSI Afterburner for quite some time you'd also save overclocking and custom fan profiles and there is three default nodes as well the first being the out-of-the-box setting which goes up to thirteen hundred and eighty megahertz then there's the overclock setting which goes up to fourteen hundred and thirty megahertz then there's a silent mode feature which will actually under clock the card to give you lower temperatures and lower power consumption in order to keep those noises down from the fans themselves though one thing I noticed about the overclock profile it's getting especially on the core itself very close to my maximum overclock when I change the thermal paste around the max I could get out of this was around about fourteen hundred and fifty megahertz out of the box I believe I got just over fourteen hundred and thirty megahertz so they're really capping this card if you put in that overclock mode you may come into some problems overclocking it in general may not work hence why the default mode I guess the thirteen hundred eighty megahertz is guaranteed to work across all cards there was 4 display outs you've got one dual link DVI three DisplayPort outs which support the free sync technology and also HDMI out if you wish to use that anyway guys when it all comes down to it the Phantom gaming from asrock not bad at all for a first little attempt let me know in the comment section below what you think of this graphics card do you have any feedback of your own for asrock - i'm sure they'll be listening in the comments section below also update the pricing of these units as that information comes in and I look forward to catching you guys in another tech video very soon and if you enjoyed this video you might want to check out some other videos on the channel and if you enjoy those then you might even want to subscribe and hit that Bell notification to get notified when the latest tech bids are dropping and your box and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now they burn rx 580 and 3d mark 5 strike out of the box still getting really good scores though over 1400 thousand points oh of course what about the gaming numbers themselves let's roll some benchmarks for you guys first up fire strike I'm going to show this score because it shows how beast this card is and also the fine wine technology itself seems to be getting even finer they may be a fine line between the wine or it might be fine wine technology I'm not too sure yet but anyway if you enjoyed this video but as for the simple clean black and silver aesthetic I'm option
