PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 580 8GB Graphics Card Review

Acoustic, Thermal and Power Testing


Acoustic Performance

That fantastic looking cooler clearly isn’t going to waste, with the RX 580 running completely silent for most of our testing, and even when the fans are spinning, they clock in at just 41 dBa, which is very quiet, and much quieter than the triple-fanned RX 480 STRIX we tested.

Thermal Performance

Able to run completely silent until the GPU reaches 60c, this card certainly is impressive. Even when we did max it out, it reached a more than comfortable 69c, which is about the same as the GTX 1060, and most RX 480’s. Our RX 480, however, did have a much bigger cooler and lower clocks, so it managed to stay around 5c cooler.

Power Usage

Unsurprisingly, the card is a little thirsty for power, using a little more than a GTX 1080. Nvidia is usually the more efficient of the bunch though, so this is hardly surprising.

As a child in my 40's, I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
