What we like about XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition OC

  • Solid 1080p performance for budget gaming, maintaining high frame rates in many popular titles.
  • Excellent value for money, especially when purchased at used market prices.
  • Features 8GB of VRAM, which is more capable of handling modern textures compared to 4GB models.
  • Straightforward setup with easy installation and simple driver management.
  • Includes a dual BIOS switch, useful for toggling between high-performance and low-noise profiles or mining.
  • The physical design is often praised for its sleek look and the inclusion of a protective aluminum backplate.

What we don't like about XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition OC

  • Commonly reported to run hot, often reaching temperatures between 70°C and 80°C under load.
  • Can be noisy, with fans that become noticeably loud during intense gaming sessions.
  • Older architecture leads to high power consumption compared to more modern equivalents.
  • The card's large physical dimensions may cause clearance issues in smaller PC cases.
  • Several users have reported long-term reliability issues, such as the card failing or developing artifacts after a few months.
  • Lacks support for modern features like ray tracing or DLSS.

Verdict

The XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition OC is an enthusiast-grade graphics card based on the 14nm Polaris 20 architecture, featuring 2,304 stream processors and a factory-overclocked boost clock of up to 1405MHz (OC+ 1425MHz). Equipped with 8GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, it delivers a 256 GB/s bandwidth and 6.47 TFLOPS of raw processing power. Its main characteristics include the Double Dissipation cooling system with 100mm Supercell fans and a protective aluminum backplate for heat absorption and structural stability. The card's primary pros are its high-bin GPU that enables stable 1080p and 1440p gaming, VR-ready performance, and a dual BIOS switch for safer modding. However, it suffers from significant power consumption with a 185W TDP requiring an 8-pin power connector, lacks modern ray tracing or DLSS support, and has been reported by some users to experience noticeable fan noise and heat output under heavy load.
