The Asus Radeon RX 580 Dual OC is a powerful, quiet graphics card

I recently tested the new Asus Radeon RX 580 Dual OC graphics card, and its performance was impressive.

What fps do you get in Crysis?

Glad to see ASUS ditched their fan design in their previous DUAL cards, those where loud.

Wouldn't testing such a card with a game like Dota 2 be pretty much useless? Maybe on an RX 550 or 560, but this card needs a bigger challenge.

But this is undoubtedly a good card, managing to overtake the 1060 on a large number of titles and even proving to be a competent choice for 1440p. The RX 570 isn't that bad either, it's more than enough for 1080p gaming.

Agreed, Dota 2 is a walkover for this GPU. I gave it a try in a number of games and shared my impressions of it in more demanding titles.

I really liked cranking the graphics settings in The Witcher 3 and having a stable 60fps in the Dark Souls 3, my current card still has a few frame drops every now and then.

This has given me a thougt, I'm thinking MyGaming should consider reviewing hardware on a regular basis. I mean, it's a lot of work deciding what version of what component one should get, particularly if you're looking for value and are looking in the midrange where there's often a lot of competition. Then some of that hardware can be given away to those of us with crappy hardware :D"whistling:
