Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 GAMING 8G
Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 GAMING 8G is a spec monster cooled by WINDFORCE 2X to drive all innovative AMD RX graphics effects to an appealing level. It empowers gamers who play anything from the latest MOBAs to the most popular AAA titles in Full HD and beyond, and also delivers the power to drive you into the next level of immersion of the world of VR gaming and entertainment.
WINDFORCE 2X Cooling System
The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features 3 pure copper composite heat-pipes, heat-pipe direct touch GPU, 90mm unique blade fan design, 3D active fan, together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures.
90mm Unique Blade Fan Design
The airflow is spilt by the triangle fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the air flow.
3D Active Fan
The semi-passive fans will remain off when the GPU is under a set loading or temperature for low power gaming.
Composite heat-pipe
The composite heat-pipe combines thermal conductivity and phase transition to efficiently manage the heat transfer between two solid interfaces which increases cooling capacity.
Heat Pipes Direct Touch
The shape of the pure copper heat pipe maximizes the direct contact area with the GPU, enhancing heat transfer. The heat pipe also covers the VRAM through a large metal plate contact to ensure proper cooling.
Built Strong
Built for OverClocking with 6+2 power phases
6+2 power phases on the card make the MOSFET working at a lower temperature and provide more stable voltage output.

Pros: -Faster than the card it replaced
-Cheap for what it does
-Not as loud as reviews indicate
Cons: -First one had to be returned because it froze constantly
-Runs very hot
-Seems more fragile design-wise than the comparable NVIDIA cards
-Drivers are a little wonky
Overall Review: So this card is in my alt rig - which was running an old leftover 750Ti. So huge upgrade there. The problem is kind of the overall feeling of it being "fragile." That may not be the right word, but it just feels a little shoddy in terms of build quality compared to the NVIDIA cards I have and have had. First it runs hot, much hotter than either the 1650 in my media rig or the 2070S in my main rig. Second, the drivers seems a little half-baked. They do weird things like switch my resolution suddenly for no reason, or tell Windows the monitor isn't capable of 1080p. Finally, this is a replacement card - the first one literally wouldn't run CS:GO on min settings without locking up the system, and didn't survive part pressing the "Start" button on FurMark without locking up.
I guess it just seems more homemade and less polished than I expected. I don't think it's the manufacturer, as I've had Gigabyte cards before. It just feels like the card is a bit more "half baked" than the NIVDIA cards I have/had, more like a prototype or a beta, and so I'm wondering if that's just the RADEON experience?
