Radeon RX 580 8GB Graphics Card, GDDR5 256bit 2048SP VR Ready DisplayPort HDMI Video Card for Gaming (RX 580 8GB)

graphics card crashed while gaming

This card consumes <130W on a full load. 1 8-pin PCI-e power adapter, and ~20-30w from the mobo. and ~100ish-w on the pci-e plug. Incredible performance for a dated, mid-range/modern day entry level 1080p gaming/multiple video/hw accelerated tools. (Granted, this card will be far from rendering at modern speeds, it will still be accelerated quite a bit. Driver support still exists for these cards (as of 2.14.2023), and makes it even simpler for modern users with a simple GUI to modify settings. After blowing $80 on a GT 1030, and coming to the slap in the face that it was an Amazon sold DDR4, not gddr5 ram... literally bottlenecked by the ram... Swapped over to this following the return, and for a $120 card, I can easily run 1080p between medium to ultra (depending on textures, tesselation, reflections, shadows... etc. etc...) settings on a myriad of games. I can't tell you why anyone gave this card a bad rating; just because it's not a typical AIB manufacturer, it by NO means reduces or influences this cards performance. Enjoy your RX 580, and THANK YOU AMAZON!!!

Very fast delivery and just what I needed at this price point. No problem with installation and it functions as expected.

I had to replace the graphics card (GPU) in my linux (Fedora 44) machine because the GTX 1030 it was using is no longer supported. This card was suitably affordable and linux doesn't need third party drivers for AMD GPUs. There was a long and frustrating search for the now required VGA cable for the Power Supply Unit (PSU) though. I found one but it was not from the same PSU vendor and the system would not power up. I subsequently learned that mixing PSU cables like I did is way bad. Fortunately I found the right one and all is well. System is up with the new GPU and it upgraded to Fedora 44 and runs fine. Might have to try some games now.

Overall a very solid budget GPU. It can run games such as Minecraft on decent render distance or Roblox on max settings. Just don't expect anything like Cyberpunk or Minecraft with crazy shaders to run well because it is a budget card, it's made to work at a good price and get you going. I used it as my card till i got the money to upgrade to a RX6750XT. Not sure why the pictures show it having less connectors than it does. It might be inconsistent so buyer beware.
