The RX 580 launched this week and is AMD’s latest flagship GPU which is based on a second generation Polaris architecture.
The 580 is a refresh of the RX 480 which was released just 10 months ago. Modifications to the architecture have resulted in improved thermals and increased clock speeds by around 10%. The RX 580 will come with either 4GB or 8GB of high-bandwidth GDDR5 memory. Exact pricing for this mid-range chip remains to be seen, but the RX 500 series is likely to cannibalize sales of AMD’s 400 series. Performance wise, the RX 580 is in direct competition with NVIDIA’s popular GTX 1060 6GB which is now 9 months old. Perhaps after last year’s ill timed head to head release of the RX 480 and the faster but similarly priced GTX 1060 (a standoff which NVIDIA seem to have won based on market share), AMD are attempting to draw back some market share with the newer, slightly upgraded RX 580. [Apr ’17 GPUPro]
MORE DETAILS
The RX 470 is the second Polaris based 14 nm graphics card released by AMD this year. The 470 follows hot on the heels of the hugely successful (though still mostly unavailable) RX 480.
Based on specs the RX 470 has approximately 10% less processing horsepower than the RX 480. Looking at provisional average benchmarks (we only have three samples of the RX 470 at this time) of the RX 480 and RX 470 shows that the performance gap is just a few percent. This performance gap will likely widen as we get a more representative number of samples of the RX 470 but the fact that custom design 470s are already available will likely keep the gap between the 480 less than 10%, at least until custom 480s make it to market. The list prices of both the 4GB RX 480 and RX 470 cards are within 20 USD of each other so AMD have basically re-released the 480 at a slightly reduced price with slightly reduced specs, strange but true!

The GeForce RTX 4090 is an extremely power hungry and very expensive graphics card. What does NVIDIA offer the user in exchange for $1,599, not counting the cost of a new PSU? A tectonic shift in gaming and work performance like we haven’t seen since the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Testing the new product on the example of the GIGABYTE Gaming OC
accelerator You have probably already heard unflattering opinions about the new AMD product.
However, the market for budget gaming graphics cards has already stagnated, and high-performance models are so expensive that the RX 6500 XT will be torn off by hand. Let’s see what it is — the low-end of the new generation. Testing performed on SAPPHIRE PULSE 9 graphics card0003
This is one of those next generation games that console developers promised us. Although Halo Infinite still lacks ray tracing to qualify as a full-fledged next-gen, it already has impressive system requirements on personal computers. In addition, this is another example of the fact that ray tracing in modern games can bring obvious benefits to graphics without causing the usual brakes
Following the Radeon RX 6600 XT, a model without the XT index would inevitably appear, completing the average price and performance range. However, we already know that the RDNA 2 architecture does not scale very effectively towards compact, especially stripped down, GPUs. Let’s see what all this led to. The novelty is represented by the GIGABYTE EAGLE
video card Far Cry 6 did a lot for the first time: it is the first high-profile project with support for FidelityFX Super Resolution scaling and the first game in the series that introduced ray tracing, and rather undemanding hardware.
But how undemanding, we will now figure it out
We rarely choose MMO projects for mass GPU tests, but New World definitely deserves an exception. In addition, during the shortage of computer hardware, undemanding games are more relevant than ever, and New World is just that
In this article, we compared 11 video cards of different generations, covering 10 years of confrontation between AMD and NVIDIA in the middle price segment. Let’s see together how gaming adapters have changed, starting with the GeForce GTX 660 and Radeon R9 270X and ending with the GeForce RTX 3060 and Radeon RX 6600 XT
It’s perfectly normal for a video card in a new series to match the speed of the previous model, which was one step higher. It’s another matter if the price of performance per FPS remains the same — and that’s exactly what happened with the Radeon RX 6600 XT. Well, let’s see how AMD can brighten up the sad picture of
DOOM Eternal for more than a year, and finally ray tracing has appeared in the game.
And with it — support for DLSS. Well, let’s check if the updated DOOM with ray tracing remains as democratic and undemanding to hardware as before
High-speed GDDR6X memory is still a privilege of the older GeForce 30-series models. But now the RTX 3070, which just lacked memory bandwidth, has acquired a new standard of VRAM in the Ti modification. Let’s see how this affected the performance, power consumption and, most importantly, the price of the most popular representative of the Ampere architecture, using the Palit GamingPro
video card as an example, the GeForce RTX 3080 has not yet grown old, and in the 30th series of accelerators NVIDIA has already appeared more productive — and yes , more expensive — a model close in performance to the RTX 3090. In the context of a protracted shortage of video cards, we cannot vouch for the adequate retail prices of the novelty, but we will find out what it is capable of in games and work applications
Cyberpunk 2077 is not only extremely demanding on hardware, it also came out very raw.
But after several major updates, most of the work on the bugs has already been done, and AMD 6000-series graphics cards are finally approved for ray tracing. In addition, new models of accelerators have appeared and GPU drivers have been repeatedly updated. So, it’s time to return to tests
According to AMD, in games without ray tracing, the Radeon RX 6700 XT overtakes not only the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, but even the RTX 3070 and therefore deserves a rather high price of $479. After the achievements of the older models of the family, this was easily believed. But in vain
16:9 and 16:10 display formats are perceived by many gamers as something classic that has no particular alternative. But before, we calmly spent time behind monitors with an aspect ratio of 4:3! However, new ultra-wide desktop display formats are gaining popularity. So we decided to check how modern (and not so) video cards feel in games at two popular resolutions
The main thing that distinguishes the older models of the 30th series also applies to the younger one: performance is growing, and the price of FPS is decreasing.
The GeForce RTX 3060 should cost even less than the RTX 2060. In addition, ironically, the RTX 3060 now has the most VRAM in the entire lineup, except for the RTX 3090. Testing performed on the Palit Dual OC
device release of Ampere mobile chips. Using the MSI Stealth GS66 laptop as an example, we will find out what the fastest graphics chip in the series is capable of — GeForce RTX 3080
Not all games need the most powerful and expensive hardware. There are other well-optimized or simply undemanding projects. Let’s check what video card you can get by with in HITMAN III and what you need to play at maximum speeds and with high resolution
Radeon RX 6900 XT predict performance at the level of GeForce RTX 3090 in traditional games without ray tracing. And this is at lower power consumption, and most importantly, for less money. Well, let’s check if AMD managed to put forward a full-fledged alternative to the flagship NVIDIA 9 solutions this time.0003
AMD has delivered on NVIDIA’s performance promises that gamers have been hearing for years. Now, finally, it is not a shame to assemble a gaming machine on red chips — both CPU and GPU. However, this time it was not without disappointments, and it is not difficult to guess which
exactly. Did you believe that the GeForce RTX 3070 would become a complete analogue of the RTX 2080 Ti, only half the price? That’s what NVIDIA presentations and technical specifications of the new product promise, but the experience of the RTX 3080 warns against inflated expectations. Let’s find out how things work in practice!
The GeForce RTX 3080 returned the «green» accelerators to their previous performance growth trajectory and provided such an increase in FPS in games that the previous generation could not dream of. But if this is not enough, there is the RTX 3090. Testing was performed on the example of the video card Palit GeForce RTX 3090 GamingPro OC
Accelerators based on Ampere chips claim such speed and for such money that the public, having burned themselves once on accelerators of the 20th series, are reluctant NVIDIA believes. Moreover, the new products themselves are simply not yet available for sale. And now we finally have them. It’s time to find out what Ampere is capable of in action. Testing performed on the example of the Palit GeForce RTX 3080 GamingPro OC 9 video card0003
In the price of the first generation RTX, innovation accounted for a much larger share than speed growth. However, ray tracing has not yet become widespread in games to justify the high cost. But now NVIDIA intends to fix everything. Ampere architecture promises a very serious increase in FPS for the same money — just like in the good old days!
The new MSFS at the alpha testing stage made an impression of the most large-scale and beautiful game of our time. Now, after the release, when it is no longer possible to complain about an early version of the graphics engine, we can add that this is also an extremely demanding project, created with the expectation of a new generation GPU. In the meantime, these are not on sale yet, let’s check what existing video cards are good for
Last time we looked at what happened to flagship gaming GPUs over the past eight years, we came to the disappointing conclusion that performance growth has slowed down, and the price of FPS has only been rising recently. It’s time to find out how things are with video cards in the lower class, which usually cost from $329 to $500
The market for gaming GPUs is, frankly, an unhealthy situation. Despite all the success of AMD Navi chips, NVIDIA alone sets the rules of the game, and the prices of top models rise every year. Let’s find out how we got to this life and answer other important questions: can new budget graphics cards replace old heavyweights and is there room for future flagships to grow?
The PC edition of Grand Theft Auto V recently celebrated its fifth anniversary. Since then, they have not stopped playing it, but the hardware has changed a lot. Let’s see what requirements GTA V imposes on modern accelerators and whether the new top models will cope with a five-year-old game in 4K at maximum speeds
Fresh reviews
Is this not a reason to get acquainted with the various models currently available at retail? And we’ll start with the most popular series among gamers — GeForce RTX 3060
Two months after the release, Intel gaming graphics cards appeared both as a separate device in retail and as part of finished PCs, and the Arc driver was cured of the most egregious bugs. Let’s see what the Arc A380 accelerator is now capable of in comparison with its main rivals — the younger models of the GeForce 16 series and Radeon RX 6500 XT
Despite the price correction, the performance of video cards per dollar still leaves much to be desired, especially in budget models . To understand how bad everything really is, let’s compare them with top 9 accelerators–10 years older and at the same time we will check what else the old hardware is capable of in modern games
It seemed that only recently NVIDIA introduced a series of video cards of the Ampere generation, but in fact almost two years have passed. And only now, GeForce RTX 30 gaming accelerators have gained real popularity among buyers, because the shortage is over, and prices have crept down. Perhaps now is the right time to buy a model like the GeForce RTX 3050
In previous tests, we have seen that continuous driver updates have benefited every GPU family of the last five years, although some more than others.
