Verdict

The ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 Gaming is a mid-range graphics card featuring the Polaris 20 XL architecture with 2048 stream processors and either 4GB or 8GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus. It boasts a boost clock of 1300 MHz in Gaming mode and up to 1310 MHz in OC mode, delivering solid 1080p performance for modern titles. Key features include DirectCU II cooling with patented wing-blade fans for 30% cooler and 3X quieter operation, Aura Sync RGB lighting, and 0dB technology for silent low-load gaming. Pros include its robust thermal management, highly automated Auto-Extreme manufacturing for reliability, and an extra 4-pin FanConnect II header to link system fans to the GPU's temperature. However, it lacks a protective backplate, can exhibit high power draw under heavy overclocking loads, and its aging architecture lacks hardware support for modern features like ray tracing.
