Summary of the review

Asus Strix RX 570 - LanOC Reviews

The Asus Strix RX 570 is an impressive graphics card that delivers strong out-of-the-box performance, particularly for 1080p gaming. Featuring a color-neutral dark grey and black design with Aura RGB lighting, it easily matches most PC aesthetics, moving away from traditional red-and-black themes. In terms of performance, its factory overclock of 1300 MHz (which can scale to 1310 MHz in OC mode) allows it to comfortably outperform competitor cards like the XFX RX 570 and pull surprisingly close to reference RX 480 numbers. It achieved excellent framerates above 60 FPS in most tested games at maximum 1080p settings, and even proved capable of handling light 1440p gaming. A standout feature of this card is its highly efficient DirectCU cooling system, which includes dual large fans and a unique 4-pin PWM fan header that allows the GPU to directly control surrounding chassis fans. Pros include its class-leading acoustic performance, as it registered as the quietest card tested under load while maintaining a cool operating temperature of 65°C. Its stylish layout, 0dB fan technology, and generous display output configuration (including two native...

Summary of the review

La Radeon RX 570 Strix OC d'Asus - HardWare.fr

The Hardware.fr review of the Asus Radeon RX 570 Strix OC highlights it as a factory-overclocked mid-range graphics card featuring a GPU frequency boost from 1244 MHz to 1300 MHz and a baseline retail price of €245. Architecturally identical to its predecessor, the RX 470 Strix, this 24 cm dual-slot model incorporates a revised PCB layout that repositions the power delivery system to the right side of the GPU for improved thermal dissipation. Power is supplied via a combination of the PCI Express slot and an 8-pin connector, raising the internal ASIC consumption limit from 120W to 150W (translating to roughly 210W of total power draw) to provide ample overclocking headroom. The card also boasts a 4-pin FanConnect header to sync external system fans with GPU temperatures, and it departs from the reference display configuration by offering two DVI-D ports, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort. The core advantages (pros) of this card include its completely silent operation at idle due to passive cooling mode, enhanced component longevity from using nominal-frequency Elpida GDDR5 memory rather than factory-overclocked chips, and improved power...

Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 Gaming OC

Excellent 1080p gaming performance for the price
Quiet operation with 0dB fan technology below 55°C
Effective DirectCU II cooling solution in standard gaming scenarios
Includes customizable Aura RGB lighting
High build reliability with Auto-Extreme manufacturing technology
Features a 4-pin fan header for synchronized system cooling
Easy to overclock using the bundled GPU Tweak II software

What we don't like about ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 Gaming OC

High power consumption compared to newer or similar NVIDIA cards
Lack of a protective backplate on most models
Limited display connectivity with only one DisplayPort and one HDMI
Build quality concerns reported by some users regarding flimsy fans
Thermal performance can degrade significantly under heavy synthetic loads
Large physical size may cause clearance issues in smaller cases
Potential compatibility issues with older OEM systems (Sandy/Ivy Bridge)

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 Gaming OC is a performance-oriented mid-range graphics card featuring a factory-overclocked boost clock of 1300 MHz and a maximum OC mode frequency of 1310 MHz. Built on the 14nm Polaris architecture, it is equipped with 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM on a 256-bit interface, 2048 stream processors, and supports DirectX 12 for reliable 1080p gaming performance. Its primary strengths include the DirectCU II cooling system with patented wing-blade fans that provide 30% cooler operation and 0dB technology for silent gaming during light loads, alongside Aura RGB lighting and a 6+2 phase power design for enhanced reliability. However, some users have noted that the card can run hot under heavy stress, and it lacks a protective backplate, which may impact its structural rigidity and aesthetic appeal.
