I was always kinda confused why people love the rx 580 but shit on the 1060 6gb, in my market they’re the same price, and the 580 uses a lot more power while not being much more powerful (just 2gb of extra vram, but let’s be honest, 6gb is completely enough for the 1060 class of gpu)

The 16 GB version only has 192GB/s of mem bandwidth. If you could push that a little higher (normal 580 has 256GB/s), it would net you some significant, additional performance. Polaris10 allows for adjusting memory timings and bios mods btw.

It's a very weird variant because I think It's made for ML (stable diffusion, Vicuna-13b...) BUT, as far as I know, these cards are compatible only with a very outdated version of ROCm (which is the AMD's crippled version of CUDA) so the performance will be pretty low these days. We need someone to test this card with ROCm to see if "it does something" though.

[@GeneralNickles]

The added memory is likely for crypto mining. The RX580 was mining powerhouse for a while, but only 8gb version, because mining uses a crap ton of vram. 4gb just doesnt cut it. So 16gb would probably have a pretty big effect on your hash rate.

[@Dorraj]

Dawid, you gotta understand (and a lot of gamers and Nvidia takes advantage of this misconception) that resolution is not the only thing that affects VRAM usage. Texture settings are typically the settings that affect VRAM usage, but even then there are a lot of games that "smartly" use VRAM for textures. In a lot of modern games, the texture setting simply affects how fast the textures are streamed in, not how big the textures are, RE4R being the best example. (annoying how they put a gb size next to the setting despite that not being what it does) But that's not all, any RT settings, specific detail settings, all will affect VRAM usage, not just "pump to 4k to use VRAM". It hurt me to see you playing games at 4k with medium settings, like what's the point of testing out the VRAM if you don't change the settings that actually scale with more VRAM!

[@rustler08]

TL;DR

[@Dorraj]

@@rustler08 TLDR: 4K resolution is not the only way to increase VRAM usage. Normal settings do that too. Turning a game up to 4K but keeping the settings low will not use too much VRAM.

[@jurpo6]

I get you're trying to be clever, but not enough to prove him wrong. It ultimately varies based on the method game developers used to make the game. Doom eternal, RDR2 pre-caches everything into vram to prevent stutters. Tiling is used with dx12 and as you say, is a smart way to use vram. It however requires some advanced yet troublesome prediction or scheduling to prevent stuttering. There are many games that simply determine textures based off of resolution, so dawid is completely fine in his video. The game is not going to load higher resolution textures for a lower screen resolution, there is zero point. On the flip side a game might default to 2k textures or higher when set to 4k resolution.

Unless you're super competitive and needed top of the line setups, there's really no reason to rush for an upgrade

[@FunkyM217]

And now, I wait for those same Necromancers to work their dark arts on an RX 6600 (Non-XT)

[@reidster87]

Huh! Now I want to fire up my trusty Vega 64 Frontier Edition (16GB HBM2) and see what it takes to fully utilize the VRAM.

[@FINNIUSORION]

that's actually pretty smart for marketing and sales. loads of people only pay attention to memory when they're buying a card. oh that's a 16 gig card wow!

[@bcuongtran8294]

Interesting video,but it's a bit disappoint that you didn't test Ratchet and Clank, that game is a real VRAM hog with texture set to ultra.Anyway thanks for your works.

[@BSF-7772]

you should test the ratchet and clank, metro exodus enchanted edition and Minecraft with x512 textures these games are the most vram intensive games I've tried on 8gb card

[@recordatron]

Good old 'Graphics Card'. Everyone's favourite! If only you could pair it with 'Central Processing Unit'

[@eliasrayan6421]

Do you think this card is suitable for deep learning ? I mean, if you accept longer training times, 16gb of memory for less than $250 (I didn't find any mention about the price in the video) might be acceptable for broke computer scientists. The only issue is that AMD cards are much, much slower than NVIDIA's because most DL libraries are made with CUDA...

[@alderoth01]

It's crazy my 2nd gen RTX 3060 has more vram than most new cards lol. I thought I was getting on the ground floor with my single fan, amazon special, GPU, but its actually been a work horse, and since its so ridiculous to 16Gb Vram or higher on a GPU I feel extremely fortunate lol.

[@jackielee297]

It will last

[@Eeveewashere]

Great opening to the video. Gives the He-Man Skeletor feels.

[@greendragonfly4831]

I keep watching these trying to find the origin of my 580ste. It's the original with 8 pin AND 16gb. I'm running Elden Ring at 80fps with an 1155 motherboard.

[@pauldoutre541]

there is also the Sapphire RX 570 Blockchain -16GB graphics card (single HDMI port)

[@zerora199]

Dawid is the first KZbinr I know to reuse clips for a sponsorship.

[@Suc-Chii]

Funny thing there's also a RX590 GME, which is just an rx 580 with 40% more clocks. Which make it a slight slower 590 and slightly faster 580

[@SabrinaWesker]

I have a 4gb version of the 750ti from some internet sale, and it was actually pretty decent back in the day with the extra vram. It overclocked very well! This made me think of it.

[@Uberden]

Hey mate, love the content. Is there any chance you can add Escape from Tarkov to your regular games you benchmark with?

[@Dorraj]

He's used it for testing some stuff before, but the problem is that Tarkov is still in very active development. A run now is different than it was before, and will be different from the future. Plus the game has some whacky usage on GPUs.

[@Kardall]

I am actually surprised how well the 5700 XT is doing right now in Starfield. Being a minimum spec, I have been tinkering with it and I can get some pretty high settings and still hovering around the 60fps without FSR. Quite surprising. Before when there would be something like a GTX650 minimum, the game would have to be run on low settings to get 60fps.

[@bobbastian760]

The reason they did this is that there's now a view that you really need a 16Gb card period.

[@KimBoKastekniv47]

Dawid testing 2018 games wondering why they don't use more than 8GB of VRAM.

[@yves1926]

I love this sort of product, so original

[@luciantermopan]

It would be really cool if you would take those two cards to a modder/electronics service shop and swap the 16GBs of VRAM from the Chinese card to the Asus 580. Maybe a 1440p budget card for 2023?

[@Darth001]

Now that is a good idea

[@raevn11]

I had this card back in $2018-19 on 9400f and it was really good for the price. Bought it on eBay for $200 at the time. Gigabyte I think. I could play MEA on high on a 4k 55" LG tv. Old tech should get better as software improves, pretty neat.

[@joshuascholar3220]

Why did they SAND DOWN the memory chips?

[@Phil8719]

10:31 - It's interesting that 100% GPU usage is reported here when the framerate is being limited due to VRAM capacity, and it looks like it's not using all 8GB for some reason

[@Kaelidoz]

now do a "is better than I expected" video about this gpu while using stable diffusion :p

[@OzelBlox]

Babe wake up, Dawid has posted!

[@giorgipatarkatsishvili1221]

That Rx580 has more memory than my laptop and phone combined 💀

[@chincemagnet]

22 FPS Duhwid: it’s performing quite well.

[@hotjob9141]

This is straight up an Etherium mining card, where memory counted for more than the graphics processor. With Etherium gone to proof of stake, the designers have to sell it somewhere.

[@nathangamble125]

This is the ideal GPU for modded Skyrim and Minecraft... And pretty much nothing else beyond that.

[@naniwara8673]

I am probably getting an RX580 so this 2048SP MADE IT REEEEALLY easy for me to know I was gonna get bonked.

[@Betonoszlop]

Damn i thought the card is gonna crash after the 8 GB usage BUT NO! Engineered well, actually worked. Damn!

[@keh998]

I think the reason they frankenstein 16gb because it used to be used for mining purpose
