New architecture, basically higher performance at lower power draw.

If I'm not mistaken RX 480 is replaces R9 380X.

No news of any 590.

Damn

I guess there wont be RX 590.. Maybe AMD is aiming Vega next..
If there is RX 590 my guess would be 2x RX 480

Could low yields of HBM2 memory be the cause?

Price drop a bit spotted, RX480 nitro + 8gb from 1369 ->1300, RX470 nitro + 8gb now only 1100 (in lazada)

RX 580 is better than R9 390x a bit (within 5%), TDP should better.

Improvement from RX480 to RX580, mainly new pcb design with better VRM and hsf, solve single monitor power usage issue of RX480.
But get only 5-10% improvement than RX480 by more 30% power consumption...

which is better buy RX570 4GB for RM970 or buy a used RX480? coz based on guru3d charts 570 4GB does trade blows with 480 8GB

which ever that is good for your money bro

RX 570 = the card for 1080p gaming on ultra settings with guaranteed > 60 fps

Asus Strix RX580 8gb = RM1699 lol that price

sapphire nitro+ rx 580 8gb also for rm 1551

dam, the 30% more power consumption is whats holding me back. thinking to get rx 480 but currently out of stock from the seller that im going to buy my rig from. how about TDP? rx 580 higher than rx 480?

The clock speed is higher guys, also i read RX580 BIOSes is default core voltage at 1.2v? That is higher than RX480 BIOS, you can always undervolt it.

RX580 with newer power design and better cooling, temps higher than rx480 about 10~15%.
You can flash rx480 to get rx580 performance,but be careful with old power design and may get higher temp.


I'm done calculation according review, performance of 1080p should around this.

Average fps performance based on Sapphire Nitro+ factory boost 8gb ver at gaming 1080p
(sure u can oc better clocks, if u get lucky, even RX470 can oc till 1350mhz, as well as rx480 can oc to 1450mhz, just rx580 is hard to get 1500mhz due to unstable)

RM1550 RX580 1450mhz = 100%
RM1310 RX480 1342mhz = 93%
RM1370 RX570 1340mhz = 92.5% ?
RM1100 RX470 1260mhz = 89%

If u want to save more budget, go for 4gb model, can save back bout RM150~200, cause current game under 1080p rarely consume more than 3.5gb vram.
If ask for better future with 8gb vram, seems its will harder to get 60fps at highest setting after 2~3 years, personally thinks is kinda useless.
If want gaming 1440p, sure 8gb vram is da best~ but almost current game, rx580 range is hard to handle 60fps at 1440p ...

If performance/RM, can consider old time Sapphire Nitro Fury Tri-X, just RM1550 same price with RX580, but better performance than RX580, especially at 1440p ~
But roughly RM1600 for fury or rx580, better i go off with an used unit of GTX1070 even there r some new unit of GTX1070, just price at RM1700...

Still, best value will go to RX470 4gb @@ Get it below RM1k and gaming almost smoothly in 1080p.
Sure, if u possible get a used RX480 8gb below RM1100, its a sweet point.

one question, does the rx 580 4gb variant consume same power / less TDP than 8gb?

Should not much different, cause power is more to gpu @@ same as u get 32gb or 16gb in ur pc rig, get very very minimal power consume.

But if u want to 1440p gaming and dun mind game not runs max setting, just stick to 8gb vram.

guess it makes more sense to get 8gb since the difference is rm191? and im using dual monitor

Should be about 20% more power, going from the rated 150W to around 180W.

Not a good move I find.

Dual monitor, depends ~ If u want run two vram intensive gameat same time, or worry bout future performance that maybe 1080p will more consume than 4gb vram,just go for 8g.
Sure, if u willing to pay more, its better for higher vram.

Save rm150-200 from 8gb to 4gb is worth if not demand highest performance of your gpu and just for gaming 1080p.

Anyway, if got more budget and want more juicy in higher resolution gaming, can try wait Vega news,becoz if rumors are truth, should release or news in may.

Even 20%, but just for 5% performace, make me hold back... I thought if pricing okay or better performance, i will get one for my ryzen rig, really itchy to build it up =w=

But now .... just =x=.... i just see got any nice price used rx480 or waiting for vega, or hope rx 470/ 480 drop more? XD

me too, really cant decide. so far im leaning towards rx 580 because rx 480 out of stock (etech pc). vega way out of budget for me.

Why not make order through lazada (there are dotatech) or garage sales distributer? If dun mind pay more 3%, lelong as well.

Etechpc XD i just get a asrock taichi from there last two weeks. Hope they wont shut down suddenly as the boss before... Will be annoying when RMA some stuff @@

Vega, still unconfirm, if amd really release for compete gtx 1080, the price may below than gtx1080? just top up to around rm2k?
If as rumor, there's r few version of vega, it should be nice if got an option near gtx1070 price range.

If possible, i want get newer pcb design RX580, but price... Top up more RM200~300, can get a use gtx1070 under warranty or maybe new gtx1070 @@
