Hi guys , so im planning to build a gaming pc which i already have all the part except the GPU , i condering 3 of my choice . Could you guys have any review , help me to choose which one is the best ? Thank you :D

1) AORUS Radeon™ RX580 XTR 8G


Product link : http://www.gigabyte.us/Graphics-Card/GV-RX580XTRAORUS-8G#kf

Note : This card is extremely rare in my country , like 1/100 chance to get one . I really like this one , it's my first choice to get a GPU . But as i said , very rare .

2) AORUS Radeon™ RX580 8G

Product link : http://www.gigabyte.us/Graphics-Card/GV-RX580AORUS-8GD-rev-10-11#kf

Note : So this the old version ( i think ?) of the RX580 XTR above , it's cheaper about 20~30$ in my country , it's always available .

3) Radeon RX 580 GAMING X 8G


Product link : https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-580-GAMING-X-8G.html

Note : I saw some people reviewing MSI card are too loud and hot ? is that true ?

4) GeForce® GTX 1060 Super JetStream

Product link : http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=2664&lang=en&pn=NE51060S15J9-1060J&tab=ov

Note : In my country there are no many people use this card to gaming so i dont have any good review about it :( . Any review?
5) GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X+ 6G

Product link : https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1060-GAMING-X-Plus-6G.html

Note : as above , MSI card are hot and loud ? This also the most expensive of all card i choose imn my country too .

If you guys have any alternatives GPU , feel free to suggest me :D .
Thank you for helping

Fastest: MSI 1060 6GB

Best cooler: MSI TwinfrozR (at least, combined with Nvidia GPUs, I can't speak for AMD)

Aorus is very decent though, personally not a huge fan of Gigabyte though for GPUs, it generally is just a tad less refined across the board, very minor things that perhaps you wouldn't even take note of, but its there. That said, the Gigabyte G1 coolers are really, really impressive (Windforce that came before it was definitely not).

Personal experience is mostly with the MSI TwinFrozR that masters the noise management, it has a very good 'pitch' due to the larger fan diameter.

The SuperJet Stream is however not to be ignored! I would think its the cheapest to get. It also is a brand that currently undergoes some... business changes. But the cooler itself is good. Great temps, very good noise profile. Its a bit bulky though.

Real world differences in performance between the same cards are irrelevant. Dont for a second think that one card will OC better than the other. It really comes down to noise. So first: choose either RX580 or 1060 6G, then consider the cooling you like the most. Bottom line, all decent.

I like the midrange AMD cards more. More Vram and they are basically faster too, or will be over time because of more compute units. So I would recommend the MSI 580. Note: if it's too expensive go for one of the Aorus models.

AMD makes a lot of sense especially if you want to buy a a Freesync monitor later or already have one, because it's much less expensive than Gsync. It's a good feature for "headache free" gaming.

Personally, I would go for the 2nd Aorus card you listed. It's still an Aorus branded card like you wanted, still has 8GB of memory as the 1st Aorus card AND it's cheaper compared to the 1st Aorus card. To me, I think the Aorus XTR card is way-overpriced for what it is. Sure it looks nice but the pricetag, especially at this given time for RX580's in general (though things seem to slowly be calming down compared to a couple months ago) is the biggest knock against it.

So, in short, the 2nd Aorus card you listed gets my vote. :)

Hi guys , thank you all for the replies above . I really appreciated it
So i have come a result :
1 ) AORUS Radeon™ RX580 8G
Product link : http://www.gigabyte.us/Graphics-Card/GV-RX580AORUS-8GD-rev-10-11#kf
This is gonna be on 1st list cause it's cheap , and some people really used this AORUS version as the XTR run all out in our country caused by the miner . Still i really like this one , looks good , stable and strong too ( i watched a lot benchmark and game test of this on youtube )

2) MSI Radeon RX580 Gaming X+ 8GB
Product link : https://us.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-580-GAMING-X-Plus-8G.html
I just founded this one from my friend , he using this card about 2 months ago . I came by and check out , all the things a thought on MSI card eg : loud , hot .. are all BS . I find it really smoothly and good looking too . Also very strong and good for gaming . But the problem is the MSI are 45~55$ more expensive than the AORUS RX580 8GB in my country .

So which one should i pick ? Thank you for helping :)

Well then, the question becomes how flexible you are in regards to what you're willing to spend. If you have a very strict budget, go for the Aorus card. If you can afford to go outside of your budget a little bit, go for the MSI card. However, you should know that the MSI GAMING cards are REALLY tall so since it is on your short list, I would recommend making sure you case is wide enough to accommodate it properly before purchase. With the Aorus card, however, you should be good to go, as it's shorter in comparison :)

I think the MSI RX 580 Gaming is a better model, but if it's much more expensive, go for the Aorus all the way.

I can vouch for Sapphire. I have a 280X from them in my current rig and I love it. They make great cards. My next one, probably a RX 580, will most likely be another Sapphire. Really can't go wrong with em, plus they tend to include a little extra in the aesthetics department by including a backplate, something I think more AIBs should make standard.

Depending on pricing (if the GTX1060 is way more than the rx 580), I'd go for the lower price Aorus card as gigabyte made a big step up with their coolers over the RX 480 cards and are pretty good.

if #1 is same price as a MSI 580 then i'd go #1

I cant really say though cause I had a gigabyte windforce with those fans but as gtx i'm not sure about radeon but it was super quiet and performed very well with good temps.

I'm not sure the premium for a TwinFrozR is actually worth it on a midrange card. Especially not at $50. If its 15-20, sure.
