RX 580 1440p

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.

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.
