RX580 power color vs asrock

spectatorx · Oct 2, 2019

At the moment I'm going for temporary gpu upgrade (while waiting for navi 5800/5900) from r9 380 and gpu of choice is 8GB 580. I'm split between to variants which are at the same price: powercolor red dragon or asrock phantom gaming x. I assume main difference between them would be in thermals and noise. To be honest it is not easy to find reviews of these particular models.

Please help me to make a choice, what would you choose, which one do you recommend?

i would go for powercolor red dragon since the clock bus are good, abyway beware oem version of powercolor, i once ended buying rx580 mining series with few mod on display port, the easy way to spot whether real retail or oem is by checking the logo, usually retail car have P logo, while the mining series has AMD logo

pr: red dragon(cheap)/red devil(this is the best) performance
cons: fan can be really loud starting 70% speed
