Aorus RX 570 Review - Comparison Vs. Gigabyte RX 470

2017-05-05
gigabyte soros division have released their RX 570 though how does it compare against an RX 470 in the real world well today I'm going to be taking a look at this gravis card and comparing it with gigabytes own rx 470 and seeing the differences in the real world welcome back to tech city this is brand coming to you guys today with the benchmarks and comparison that y'all have been waiting for well at least hopefully you've been waiting for it so today I'm comparing the rx 570 which boosted up to fourteen hundred and sixty five megahertz on the core and also two thousand one hundred and fifty megahertz on the memory and now in gaming this did give it a sizable boost over the RX 470 which in this case managed to clock up to thirteen hundred and eighty four megahertz on the core and also just got over 2,000 megahertz which is of course quadrupled into 8000 megahertz effective on the memory so these two clock speeds let's get into the benchmark and then we'll talk about the differences the first benchmark we're going to take a look at is Far Cry primal with the RX 470 the average frame rates were 61 fps and 48 on the minimum and then on the RX 570 that scored 66 average with a 52 minimum so the gains were would be seen here with an 8% difference on this benchmark tomb Raider's inbuilt benchmark eternity beyond very high settings with the dx11 api scored 73 average FPS on the RX 470 and comparing that to the RX 570 that's good 78 average FPS so there was a difference of 7% the minimums were pretty much the same with only 2 FPS being the variable factor there moving on to the f1 2016 benchmark at 1080p on the ultra high settings with SMA and abled we saw 74 average FPS on the RX 470 with a minimum of 57 and comparing that to the RX 570 we saw quite a sizable boost here with 85 average fps and a minimum of 63 so this was the biggest difference in all these benchmarks scoring in 14% higher moving onto Metro last light on very high settings at 1080p we scored a 100 average FPS here on the RX 470 with a minimum of 33 versus the RX 570 which scored 108 average FPS with a minimum of 34 so there wasn't much different than the minimums here and the average FPS was on higher 8% moving under the last game we have is for honor and this scored on the RX 470 77 average FPS with a minimum of 57 contrast that to the RX 570 that's good 83 average FPS with a minimum of 58 so there wasn't a difference in the minimums really here but there was an 8% difference in the average fps and now the last benchmark we have up here is 3dmark fire strike which on the GPU score we sought 13,500 and three on the RX 470 and comparing that to the RX 570 we had 14 thousand four hundred and sixty seven points so there was a boost of about seven percent though here's where things start to take an interesting turn when I clocked these cards at the exact same speeds with the exact same benchmark on fire strike the previous variant the RX 470 scorpion with 12,000 653 GPU score versus the RX 570 which scored in with 12,000 471 points so the exact same settings with the exact same clock speeds in the exact same benchmark the RX 470 actually came out ahead now here's the kicker this is where things get really weird is that the RX 470 actually used a lot less power whilst doing so and even with the overclock settings I managed to measure the maximum wattage consumed out of both these cards when you overclock them because let's face it if we're getting these graphics cards with custom coolers on them a lot of people are going to want to overclock so here's where the Auris card actually performed quite fully assualt a maximum power draw of 202 watts comparing that with the RX 470 from gigabyte it scored only 123 Watts max power consumed the idols were a little bit in favor of the rx 570 however with 5 Watts versus a twat but you may be wondering why is there such a big difference in the power consumption well this has to do with the refresh of the cards themselves I've noticed in the BIOS here that you get an extra 80 millivolts Headroom on the RX 570 versus the rx or 70 but the max voltage enabled on bu quantified 70 being 1.24 volt versus the RX 470 which has a maximum of one point one six goals so you may be wondering about temperatures and here's a good thing with the Auris card I managed to clock in 66 degrees maximum see on the heaven benchmark after running for 30 minutes versus the RX 470 which clocked in at 68 maximum temperature in a 25 degree ambient environment so there was a two degree favor in favor of the Auris card even with that higher power consumption this was with fan speeds of 80% so on that note of fan speeds I find eighty percent to be quite the sweet spot when overclocking this card without putting out a whole lot of noise however compared to a hundred percent it does sound quite different I'll let you guys take a listen so all the refresh on the RX 570 generally means higher clock speeds however at the cost of higher power consumption whether that's the thing for you is up to you of course the end user I found that the rx 570 however did give you that extra 7 to 14 percent performance boost depending on the game or the benchmark and it was quite pleasing to see that there were performance increases with this refresh of the RX series cards they give my Taurus card it's very solid it runs pretty cool and the temperatures are really good at the same time so I can't fault anything on this card in terms of how it performs also with that note the price currently at the moment for the Auris card is around about 212 USD contrasting that to the RS 470 from gigabyte which currently can be picked up for around about 190 USD so with that said I would like to see it come down slightly in price just to make it more competitive especially versus the previous rx for 70s also the Auris card features RGB lighting on the side of the card which can be changed by a software and has various different modes as well you can use this software to overclock your graphics card and monitor various things whilst you're playing games the graphics card also has a metal backplate with a dedicated copper portion there which is supposed to help with overclocking and performance though I found with the 1080 Ti or if it didn't make a difference at all and lastly looking at the rear input and output of this card you get one hdmi 3 DisplayPort and one DVI out so all in all the Auris 570 is a solid little card at overclocks really well and the temperatures remain pretty cool whilst doing so however in a comparison with the RX 470 versus the 570 directly there really isn't a huge difference there's no reason to go out and buy a 570 if you already have a 470 though if the price is right and you are looking for a new graphics card especially in the mid-range section then the Auris 570 is a great graphics card that I can highly recommend though as always I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
