Is RX 580 still good 2021?

The RX 580 NVIDIA equivalent is the GTX 1060 , which is the generation preceding the GTX 1070. The GTX 1070 AMD equivalent is the Radeon RX Vega 56, which is significantly newer than the Radeon RX 580.

We’ve said it before, and we will repeat it – AMD’s Polaris-based RX 580 is simply one of the best mid-range GPUs that you can get . It holds up very well against its main competitor, the GTX 1060, and it continues to be a viable solution for 1080p and even 1440p gaming in 2020.

While it is possible for an RX 580 to be low profile , I highly doubt it. The RX 580 is a solid midrange GPU that requires significant cooling. I have never seen less than a 2 slot heatsink and fan, going back 5 years ago to the initial launch of the RX 480 GPU. Also true of any RX 470/570 variant.

Yes, the RX580 will still be capable for the next generation of games , but that depends on your expectations. It’s starting to show its age on the latest triple-A titles where many had to lower some graphics settings to get a decent framerate. Maybe for 1080p . Yes, provided you’re happy with 1080p, 60fps.
