It's quite a bit different than the Nitro+ Radeon RX 480 that precedes it. The diagram below illustrates Sapphire's design. Rather, we're told the aggressively-overclocked model will sell for $275, making it the priciest RX 580 at launch time. Don't expect to find this board anywhere near AMD's $230 starting price. But it should still address what AMD's "new" cards are capable of. All of our performance, power, temperature, and acoustic measurements are taken at the 1450 MHz setting, though that latter configuration is in line with what you'll see from most other partner boards.Ĭonsequently, our launch coverage of Radeon RX 580 is more a review of Sapphire's specific implementation than an evaluation of Ellesmere, revamped. It boasts two BIOSes with different clock rates: one sets an ambitious 1450 MHz boost clock and 1411 MHz silent mode, while the other employs a 1411 MHz boost frequency and 1340 MHz silent mode. and German labs received Sapphire's Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 Limited Edition card. Does the performance, pricing, and power of "Polaris, Enhanced" strike hard at Nvidia's GP106 processor, or does it only serve to obfuscate the mainstream market with a new name on something old? The question now is whether Radeon RX 580 changes the narrative in any way. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Founder's Edition
