What Buyers Say
XFX Radeon RX 570 8GB GDDR5
The XFX RX 570 RS XXX Edition is widely praised as a solid budget 1080p gaming card with strong 1440p performance too. Users highlight 8GB VRAM, excellent thermals with zero-RPM fans, and good out-of-box experience after proper fan-curve tuning. A few note the card can be loud under load and caution that the stock BIOS fan curve may let temperatures hit 90°C, but undervolting and custom fan profiles resolve this. Overall, it is seen as great value, especially second-hand, for esports and older AAA titles.
Pros
- Great 1080p and good 1440p performance
- 8GB VRAM for modern games
- Excellent thermals with zero-RPM fan mode
- Strong value for budget builds
- Good out-of-box after fan-curve tuning
Cons
- Can be loud under load
- Stock fan curve allows high temperatures
- Requires manually tuning fan curve and voltage
- Large physical size may not fit small cases
- Packaging could be better for shipping protection
