Aye, glad to hear it after purchasing another Sapphire GPU (a Rx 580 pulse). Though, with my current and first VGA, a Sapphire R9 280 (NON X) Dual-X, there's a bit of a problem that is rather common among this Sapphire R9 200 Series: one of the two fans stops spinning, unless you manually set the fan speed to around 80% - but it's loud insane. Hope it won't occur with the 580

[@Zacarriss]

Bit late to the party but I have the Sapphire Rx580 Pulse Edition 8gb it's just perfect for my build and the Cooling is Very Good with even the Stock Curve... Alas the Nitro was just too fat width wise as my case is a Micro ATX... Now it might be the supposedly weaker of the Three Sapphires... It's actually not as even it went thru a Binning Process it's Sapphire and I love their Backplates... Still I Don't Suggest the Wattman Program they got with the Drivers, just the Normal Drivers... See I've used MSI Afterburner to make two profiles. Standard Gaming Profile 1: Under Volt -12mv and it still holds the 1366Mhz Core and 2000Mhz Memory... No power limits apart from the Undervolt and no change to the Thermal Limit. Standard Custom Fan Curve Max Temp 65c Under Full Load, Avg Temp 55c... Benchmark Used AC Odyssey High Settings 60FPS+ Though 60fps is plenty for me... As my Monitor is 60Hz... It's Very Stable and Kombustor Ran For 30 Mins no Issues. Extreme Test Profile 2: +18 Core Volt 1475Mhz Core 2100Mhz Memory. Power Limit 120%, Slightly Aggressive Custom Fan Curve, Thermal Limit Set to 80c Just to be careful... It Runs at 62c-65c on Avg and the Max was 70c so I think that's going to be all I can Squeeze out and Remain in that Safe Butter Zone 1500 might well be doable... Still It's Stable at this Overclock but I don't exactly use this for anything. I don't think I will put more than +20 on the Core Volt as I don't feel like Melting a GPU... If your Overclocking do it in increments to find your Butter Zone nuff said as I can only Vouch for my Card. So Yeah like in the Past Sapphire has Served me Quite well. So if you can get a Deal on Sapphire you will not be Disappointed… Unless your Mail Man is an Idiot or your Card is DOA, just RMA and they will take it Seriously.

[@user-os3ml4uu6i]

Hey, in the video where you showed a picture of the auros and auros xtr, the auros non xtr is actually the one on the right. The card without the "x" shaped design on the right is the auros non xtr. There is a completely different design between the standard aorus and the xtr (aesthetics anyway, not sure about heatsink but thats probably different too) rather than simply oced or not. Sorry to be the one to point this out but you missed out the gigabyte gaming card. Would you still say the aorus non xtr is the best value, or something else?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+B hey, I pinned the comment thst pointed that out, but glad you pointed that out too! I would say just get a higher tier card on a deal. Not one single card has a higher value for the price, all are priced very equally, so a deal is your best bet.

Hey, I would avoid SLI or Crossfire in general! Two RX 580s in Crossfire will perform around the GTX 1080 level, but with tons of other problems, including noise, high power consumption and excessive heat. You can look around for an RX Vega 56, if you can - that would be the best choice if you're using Freesync. Otherwise, for $500/500€, a GTX 1080 would be the best choice.

I might be able to get some higher RAM if I go with the EVGA, but I don't think it will matter much. It's either 2400 or 2666 mhz RAM, and I will overclock it anyway. So which GTX 1080 to buy?

Well the 1700 is a bit faster, and if you are planning to stream+game, then it's definitely a better choice, but the value is still questionable. I'd avoid the X-models as those are basically the same as the non-X, only pre-overclocked a bit, so if you plan to manually overclock, you will reach that 3.9-4.0 GHz on either.

[@alexmarques6445]

looking at between the 580 armor or the nitro theres a price difference of 20$ for me; i wont be doing any hardcore gaming (FPS, etc.) So, should I save the money or just spend the extra bit? money not really an issue

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Definitely get the Sapphire one. The Armor will be loud and hot even if you don't do hardcore gaming.

[@rickcash3065]

Have you tested any of these? If $ was no object, I would go with a 1080. But for $20 on a $1200 build, I am ok with any of these. What I gather is that all of them are fine for 1080. How many are 4k ready? I like the Sapphire LE, but my son wants either the Aorus XTRA 8GB 580, Asus Top, or the XFX GTR-S. He wants RGB, but that rules out XFX. Which one do you think will OC the best?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Rick Cash The ASUS should fit your needs very well I think. They're all great 1080p cards and can even handle some 1440p gaming. 4K is more of a struggle, but at medium settings you should be able to play most titles!

[@rickcash3065]

Thanks.. I noticed the ASUS Top uses a 8 pin power, when some of the other OC'd cards use 8+6. Does this do anything?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Rick Cash this allows the cards to pull more power from the power supply, but in reality you don't need more than a single 8-pin.

[@rickcash3065]

So, if they were all the same price, which would you get?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Out of the ones you mentioned I'd get the ASUS because I really like how it looks and it also has those fan headers for extra fans for your case.

[@jeb.c.1063]

Hello! What is the difference between OC and not OC? Does no OC mean you can't manually overclock? Or OC means the card is stuck in OC? Or something else entirely? Thanks!!!

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey! The OC means that the card will have a little overclock out of the box. In case you aren't planning to overclock yourself, then the OC is a better choice, but I would recommend to get a cheaper non-OC version (if that's possible) and just OC manually :)

[@jeb.c.1063]

@@foreignsgamingtech thanks! But what do you mean when you say If I dont plan to overclock, then I should buy the overclocked version? I mean if I don plan to OC, then shouldnt I get the non OC? Sorry. Maybe something I just dont understand. Thanks for help!

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey! If the version is pre-overclocked, then its core clock will be faster out of the box. In case you plan to overclock yourself in the Radeon Settings, then there's no point in buying the OC version as you will overclock it to the same level yourself.

[@jeb.c.1063]

@@foreignsgamingtech thanks! My next question is if I can cancel the overlock of the OC version using the msi afterburner. Is that possible? I mean turn OC version to like regular version? I know its easier to buy non oc version but sometimes the stores only have OC and it gets hard trying to find the specific parts I want.

[@Skyblade2]

I'm just wondering is there a difference in the limited editions for both sapphire and xfx other than their fanciful light fans

[@foreignsgamingtech]

The Sapphire LE is most likely binned and tuned to run at higher clockspeeds. You can still manually OC the non-LE version to similar performance, but you'll have to be tweaking it manually.

+Zac Farro you should look a what your software supports, openCL or CUDA. If it's CUDA then you're better off getting Nvidia. Otherwise AMD is good, the XFX card is definitely good.

[@boyanpenev9822]

Hi, do you have plans to do something like that for the RX 570 cards?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Boyan Penev hey, the RX 570s follow the same logic as the 580s!

[@boyanpenev9822]

Okay, I was curious if there were any particular outliers, like you having heard of certain models not being particularly good - iirc there was a talk that the Asus Strix 470s had some throttling issues for a while. I am considering preordering a 570 or 580 if a good offer comes.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Boyan Penev basically with the 570s you can be sure the coolers are good on the Gaming X, Strix, HIS and Sapphire cards. Avoid the MSI Armor, ASUD Dual and any single fan cards. Can't go wrong with any other if it's the right price :)

what you think about aorus non xtr version in terms of cooling and temps?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

It's a great cooler, no need to worry about temps or noise. The XTR version will have a higher power limit though, which is good for overclocking, but if you're running stock then it doesn't really matter.

[@Profi7270]

What should i chose Sapphire Radeon RX 580 NITRO+ 8.0 GB for 251,26 € or Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Nitro+ Special Edition 8.0 GB for 264,62 € ? Should i spend extra money for SE or it's not worth?

[@Profi7270]

[@urracojalpa4481]

Depending on where you are these prices are a bit optimistic, In some places the Gigabyte Aourus (8GB) starts from 324€. Asus Strix's common price: 350€ MSI gaming + X, 330€ etc...

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Urraco Jalpa hey, this video was made prior to the mining price hike, so the prices are quite outdated, yes, but they seem to be coming back into place!

[@urracojalpa4481]

Yes, they're are coming back but are not quite there. I just bought a nitro+ for 273€ , even if it's more than the original MRSP I consider it a kind of deal, since right now the same card it's at 335€ on Amazon.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Urraco Jalpa i think that's a good deal, for Europe at least :)

[@theCHADALE]

Quick Question. Higher boost clock means higher chances for more overclocking headroom?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Dale C Nope, highwe boost clock means just that - higher boost clock. Component quality, cooling and other factors matter for overclocking headroom

[@theCHADALE]

foreign's gaming tech I see. Thanks. reason I asked because I have the XFX RX 480 GTR with a boost clock of 1288, can only overclock it to 1360 at max voltage. While im seeing reports of the GTR Black Edition(1328) that could go 1400 or maybe higher even without the voltage maxed out. Maybe its the sillicon lottery. idk.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Dale C with amd cards they are a bit important, especially if you're not overclocking. But for 400-series cards 1400 is a rarity, the BE cards from XFX may in fact be binned. The 500-series are much better in this regard and will reach 1500 on the highest tier models.

[@theCHADALE]

+foreign's gaming tech yeah i exaggerated there. I meant 1375 on the Black Edition ones. It's like they're releasing the bad ones first then the binned ones for later.
