I kinda want an 8GB RX 580, but that single fan will almost certainly cause thermal throttling or destroy any semblance of low-noise in your home. Mediocre reviews. I'd pay $20 more for a better-cooled version.
What I also learned in testing is all the Msi gaming x and armor cards are absolute garbage.
Only the 1070s Platinum/gold and Gtx 1080 Ti gaming x from Msi are the only good cooling cards they make. I am talking about 20-25 degree difference. Rx 570 armor 62-75 degrees Rx 580 armor 62-80 degrees Gtx 1070 gaming x 59-75+ degrees ** Gtx 1080 Ti gaming x 51-59 degrees
All we're tested on mining and cut power 5-25% But Gtx 1080 ti can run at -5%-8% pwr at temps I provided.
Not sure what fukery this is... But makes me very careful when buying Msi cards.
Also most EVGA cards are great but icx ones ****. I had exchange them all for ftw models.
