Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about GIGABYTE Radeon RX 570

  • Reliable 1080p performance for popular titles like GTA V and Fortnite
  • Effective Windforce 2X cooling system that remains quiet under moderate loads
  • Semi-passive 'Fan Stop' technology ensures silent operation during casual use
  • Sturdy build quality featuring a protective metal backplate
  • Excellent value for money, especially when purchased on the used market
  • Easy installation process with straightforward driver updates

What we don't like about GIGABYTE Radeon RX 570

  • High power consumption compared to newer mid-range alternatives
  • Runs relatively hot under heavy load, reaching temperatures around 70-79°C
  • Struggles with modern AAA titles on high settings without using upscaling (FSR)
  • Limited RGB lighting features, which may not appeal to users seeking heavy aesthetics
  • 4GB VRAM models can be a bottleneck for more memory-intensive modern games
  • Lack of official optimization for the latest game releases due to its age

Verdict

The Gigabyte Radeon RX 570 Gaming 4G is a mid-range graphics card based on the 14nm Polaris 20 architecture, featuring 2,048 stream processors and a boost clock speed up to 1,255 MHz in OC mode. It is equipped with 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 224 GB/s of bandwidth and 5.1 TFLOPS of processing power. Main characteristics include the Windforce 2X cooling system with dual 90mm fans, a 6+1 power phase design for stable overclocking, and RGB Fusion lighting. Its primary pros are excellent 1080p gaming performance for its class, quiet operation under load, and a sturdy metal backplate for structural support. However, it suffers from a high 150W TDP compared to its predecessors, generates significant heat during intensive tasks, and lacks support for modern ray tracing technology.
