Test: Gigabyte Aorus Radeon RX580 XTR 8G

Konklusion

RX 580 er et rebrand og det er også bevist ved tidligere tests, så reelt set er der ikke så meget nyt under solen med dette kort i forhold til RX 480. Gigabytes udgave af RX 580 er dog generelt set en vellykket pakke. Det er ca 10% hurtigere end standard RX 480 og med lidt overclock rammer vi ca 15%, og når vi medtager at prisen, ikke er markant højere end hvad RX 480 kostede i sin tid, så er der ikke meget at klage over. Aorus RX 580 XTR er et hurtig og stille kort, der forbliver køligt med alle lejligheder, men hvis man er ude efter en strøm effektivt kort, så bør man i stedet for se på nVidia's tilsvarende løsninger.

Innovation/Technology - 4
The updated Polaris chip is the latest AMD technology. Underneath the helmet we find 14nm production technology, a higher clock speed and with 8 GB of RAM, there is ample space for high resolution textures.

Design/Layout - 4
The Windforce 2X cooler is effective and quiet, and the massive heatsink has no trouble cooling the GPU, Vram and VRMs. The cooler may not be super silent if you sit with an open PC case next to you. But with the casepanel installed you will only hear a silent breeze coming from the system.

Software/BIOS - 5
It is AMDs drivers that determine stability and compatibility and we saw no issue here. Gigabytes own overclocking utility and RGB control panel are efficient tools and easy to get along with.

Performance - 3
Aorus RX580 XTRS 8G delivers outstanding gaming performance in 1080p and 1440p. It is possible to play with all details maxed out in 1080, and in 1440p you don't have to make many compromises to get fluent gameplay in the majority of games. The 8GB variant is to be preffered if you want to be ensured fairly competitive gameplay in 1440p through the next year.

Price - 3
With a price of 2200Dkk (at the time of writing), this Gigabytes Aorus RX 580 XTR 8G is a good purchase. You get a card that is faster than a RX 480 to the same price, and it has a very effective cooler with som RGB craziness. The GTX 1060 from nVidia is in the same price range, and in my point of view either model is a perfect buy, however if you weigh power consumption as a vital parameter then you are probably better of in the green range.
