AMD Radeon RX580 *(Pre-launch test)


Test Platform
AMD Ryzen 5 1400 (4C8T)
16GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3000 (8GB x2 @ DDR4-2133 CL15-15-15 1T)
Biostar B350GT3 (BIOS : 14/3/2017)
Intel 600p 256GB M2 SSD (OS + Benchmark) + Crucial M4 128GB SSD (Storage)
AMD RX580 8GB GDDR5
Silverstone 450W SFX Power Supply 80PLUS Gold PSU




OS and software version
Microsoft Windows 10 x64 “1703” Creator Update
AMD Crimson Relive “Press” 17.10.1711 (non-WHQL) for Win10 x64

RX580 GPU Spec
================================
Shader Units: 2304
ROP: 32
Graphic Processor: “Ellesmere”  Rev "E7"
Onboard Memory: 8GB GDDR5 @ 2GHz
Memory Bus: 256bit
GPU Clock: 1405 MHz (?)

This is my first attempt to write a Graphic card review with limited time and under partial NDA (AIB NDA). I have limited time to access the testing platform (listed as above) and I need time to setup hardware compatibilty and resolve software issue.

In the middle  of the testing, a new "Retail" VBIOS provided by AIB, as a result all bench have to redo again before I have to return the graphic card to vendor for other press to test! As a result the gaming test part have been mostly skipped as I ran out of time.

Feature
- RX580 support FreeSync 2.0

Synthetic Benchmark Test

Unigine Superposition
- a new Benchmarck that is available to test your GPU capaicity , it does have VR Ready benchmark to see if your graphic card is up to the task for VR

All the tests were using new VBIOS and no overclocking

1080p Medium

1080p High

1080p Extreme

4K Optimized #


# As my Monitor does not support 4K but the benchmark still run as normal, please take the result with grain of salt!!

3DMark 11
- a Popular Benchmark mainly test on DX11 performance


3DMark
- The latest 3DMark that support DX12

Fire Strike


Fire Strike Extreme


SkyDiver


DX12 TimeSpy Test

dom

There are more "older" generation Benchmark

Unigine "Heaven"


Unigine "Valley"

Gaming Test (Limited)

Due to time constrain, and some technical issues due to late pre-launch VBIOS update.
Gaming benchmark test is limited. Originally, I have planned Civilization VI, GTA V, Battlefield 1 , Tomb Raider, World of Warships as these are popular games out there. However  in the end I ran out of time.

Battlefield 1 and Tome Raider using DX12 cannot screen capture for unknown reason. I tried FRAPS  and MSI Afterburner OSD feature but both cannot capture the screen.

Also I was having game updating issues with Origin/Uplay.

In the end only Civilization VI , Tomb Raider was able to run.
Battlefield 1 will crash when attempt screen capture with FRAPS nor MSI Afterburner.

Lesson learnt , I will prepare my test platform (software) more in advance.

Civilization VI
RX580 have no issue running it.



Tomb Raider (Original , not the latest expansion) "DX11"

Power consumption  (Full Platform)

Idle (Windows Desktop) : 45W

3D Gaming: 228W

3DMark Time Spy : 235~243W (1080p High)

FURMARK BURN In


Furmark GPU Full Load Temp : 75C (Open Case, Fan Speed Auto)
Furmark burn-in test : 247W



This is the "WattMan" setup


Conclusion

If you are expecting RX580 to be something new, RX580 is not VEGA. This is just a "respin" of RX480 with improved base clock and a little more headroom for overclocking
(Stock 1.320 GHz , however Turbo to 1.4GHz depends on different AIB design)

RX580 is just a re-branded RX480, the memory clock had been pushed to 2GHz (aka 8GHz).
During the overclocking test  I was barely able to push the GPU clock to 1485MHz to complete TimeSpy once, but it crashed when I attempt to screencap.

For unknown reason, the memory (Samsung?) was not overclocking friendly, any clock higher than 2010 MHz will crash.

The power efficiency have not improved, the higher clock consumes more power.

However on performance part, RX580 managed to match GTX1060 6GB (non- 9GHz GDDR5 version) closer. RX580 will be more competitive against GTX1060 for now, however when nVIDIA release GTX1060 with 9GHz memory chip, the performance gap will be pulled away again....

Let's hope AMD VEGA will be more competitive against GTX1070 in the coming month....

係認錯定點
PCI-E x16 3.0 @ x16 1.1

Revision C7 (RX480) > E7 (RX580)

1. 一有 GPU loading 會上翻 3.0 , 我GPU-z stress test 試係有  PCI-e x16 3.0
2. 無錯, 係 E7 Stepping , 即係 Respin 過

超到頂都快唔過 1070, 但食電就食到 hihi
唔知佢想點

有 Vega 食高階都唔喺咁玩呀嘛
