Sapphire 11266-09-20G Radeon Nitro+ Rx 570 8GB GDDR5 Dual HDMI/ DVI-D/ Dual DP with Backplate (UEFI) PCI-E Graphics Card

The media could not be loaded. What’s up techies, let’s dive right into this. I can’t say enough about the AMD/Radeon/Sapphire... let’s just go with “The non-Nvidia GPU”. You might want to keep up with your friends and be a part of the FPS and triple monitor setup talk, all while getting; the best performance for your buck, the most quiet graphics card (considering it’s in a case your keyboard strokes are probably louder all said and done) and something that looks like your rig is an aggressive graphics producer. What I find as far as looks go is that most GTX graphics card’s aesthetics are pretty much the same in color scheme. With the Radeon graphics cards you can get a red, blue silver, black and a mixed black, silver and light blue scheme. Some even have RGB lights! Not to mention the price for a mid grade Radeon is like 200$ less than that awesome GTX 1080i or what have you. Instead of 650$ you walk away around 300-350$. (Mind you this is just off the top of my head to get the idea across). With that said, this card specifically has a very nice color scheme, a protective/stylish backplate which is preferred by most when the installation of your card happens to show off the underside of it, you’ll be pleased to not see the unattractive green circuit board and instead a painted backplate. This is important now a days where there are multiple ways of mounting your GPU. Some mount them vertically, horizontally, upside down both ways or even outside of the computer case itself! Okay it looks good you got that? Now I’m gonna talk about the AMD Radeon graphics software. One key benefit I want to bring to light is the fact that when you enter the update menu you have a choice between, the latest update or the best reccomended update all while showing you the current version you have installed. With this feature you might find you’re using the latest update and your pc is being weird having random monitor black outs or maybe even pc restarts! So you’re able to switch to the reccomended version which is known to work with your setup and should a revision of the latest update arrive you can give that try all on the fly. Jeesh get to the performance already! So I’ll name a couple games and my performance in relation to each game. World of Warcraft, I’ve played for the last 14 years is it now? Obviously their graphics only get so good because Blizzard refuses to update the visuals but if you’ve played as long as I have you’ll see that you can set all the settings on ultra and turn up your viewing distance, shadow detail or spell detail to get the most of what Blizzard offers. While having everything set to ultra etc.. I’m getting 80 FPS and if I just go in a room with my character I can hit 100 which is what my FPS in capped at in wow. I’ve never been over 30 due to always playing on a “beefed up” laptop lmao Also I play overwatch and it is flawless with all graphics levels turnt up I forget the exact FPS. I went ahead and bought the HTC vive and this thing handles VR without breaking a sweat! Considering I will have the in game display on the tv at all times and obviously the display in the HTC. Another noteworthy feature is that the fans shut off when it’s not in demand so add power saving to the list of why you should buy this graphics card! I honestly can’t see getting much more from a 700$ graphics card unless you’re a high end game developer? Well that’s all folks feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer!

I using an I5-7500 as CPU and this product as my GPU. I can run almost anything, for not saying almost anything. (I haven't test all the games) using Ultra/High graphics settings. The card keeps itself pretty cool, considering the load I put on it. Also, You can get 60 FPS, and even can with the latest driver software, you can record and stream to a lot of Streaming services, such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitch with ease. Supports up to 5 displays at the same time. And the power requirements aren't much. The minimum PSU for this, is 500w. But I would recommend getting a 600w just in case. Which 500w being the min, I can say is a great graphics card to have.Update: I'm now running a system with Ryzen 7 2700x, and I can play and broadcast using Radeon Adrenalin Software and I get stable 60 fps. It's been almost 2 years and still running with this card. I play with a super wide monitor, and it's pretty good.

***UPDATE** Great card. Looked up all specs. Runs on PCI-3 for those wondering. This is from Sapphire’s spec sheet:GPURX 570, 14 nm FinFET4th Graphics Core Next (GCN)Engine ClockUp to 1340 MHz, BoostStream Processors2304Memory Size/Bus8GB GDDR5/256-bitMemory Clock7000 MHz effectiveDisplaysMaximum 5 OutputsInterfacePCI-Express 3.0ResolutionDisplayPort: 5120×2880@60HzHDMI: 4096×2160@60HzDVI:2560x1600@60HzOutput1x DVI-D2x HDMI2x DisplayPort 1.4It's a good card. Double the speed of my R7 260X. Shipping method could have been better.

This is a great card with decent overclocking power. Even when clocked to 1450MHz it stays pretty quiet. TRIXX software is perfect for controlling overclocks, fan speeds, and RGB lighting. At the time of buying this card, I got it for $189. This card is great for first time builds, not too expensive, lots of power, just a great card overall. Comparable to GTX 1060
