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.

100% a budget card don't think otherwise. Facebook marketplace they're about 50-90 bucks, cheaper then a GT 1030 and perform better, smothers a gt 1010 which offers the same level of 3 outputs. Personally the XFX I grabbed is very good to OC. I managed to jump mine from the regular 20.4% to 26.5%. Not a substantial increase (think about going from crap to mud, same color different smell) but a bump of generally 10-15 frames on all my games. Was able to run Cyberpunk 2077 at the lowest settings and 720p windowed with 40 fps while OC. If you want a work station that doesn't do video stuff and only older gaming perfectly fine. Because at the end of the day while it may be a budget and a half card for gamers, this card is meant for workstations who don't do any video rendering or anything. 3 monitor outputs vs 2 on the gt 1030, twice the TDP of the gt 1030, however lower wattage is possible with a downclock, and I've never had stability issues at standard settings. It's reliable and perfect for someone who is watching the market all day or wants their stock investments on one screen while they do other things on the two other monitors. Any sort of gaming should really come second to it's utility outputs. Nobody would make the argument that a gt 1030 should be good at gaming or built for it, and this is the same case.
