RX 580 Graphics card

[dave2164]

I just bought a pc with a 4gb rx 580 graphics card. So far I'm very satisfied. I'm playing everything just fine on at least high settings. With assassin's creed syndicate I noticed the frame rate going down on ultra high so I switched it one notch lower to very high.

Do you guys think I made a good choice with this card, or would one of the GTX be better? I couldn't find anything that had more than a 3gb gtx 1050ti for a similar price. Are other people that own this card satisfied?

Nothing wrong with the card, similar performance to GTX 1060. Runs pretty much anything on 1080p monitor fine.

I have a 1080p monitor and that's good enough for me. But the thing is it was advertised as a 75hz monitor but I'm seeing a lot of games only giving me 30-60, especially when playing on high settings since I want to make use of this card since it's expensive.

You're fine, I had both and sold off the GTX1060 6GB and kept the Rx 580 8GB.

Mine is only 4gb, maybe that's why. But I almost bought something with only a gtx1050 2gb so now I'm glad I didn't lol.

75 Hz monitors with Freesync for AMD graphics cards usually have DisplayPort socket as well and need DisplayPort cable to get from 60 Hz to 75 Hz and to use Freesync, instead of your regular HDMI or DVI-D cable.
If your monitor has DisplayPort socket then it's best to get DisplayPort cable to connect it with your RX 580 if you dont already use that.
Then go to your AMD drivers display settings and turn on Freesync.
Then r-click on your desktop background, display settings and set the refresh rate to 75 Hz.

no rx580 but... I bought a rx 470 4gb in december 2016. never had any problems playing games on 1080p. doom, hitman civilization 6... evertime this card delivers nice graphics without any problems. the new adrenaline driver suite is superb. i am very statisfied with it.

Here was the problem. The amd monitor which is freesync came with a dvi cable, but the dvi cable did not fit in my tower as the slot in my tower was a different size. Therefore I had no choice but to use an hdmi cable connection which I thought was fine but that explains why freesync isn't working! So there's nothing I can do then to get free sync unless I either want to return the monitor or the tower in exchange for something else?

If your monitor has Freesync then it usually has DisplayPort socket. It looks like this:

Problem is that often with cheaper monitors they dont pack the DisplayPort cable with the monitor to save money. If your monitor didnt come with DisplayPort cable then buy this cable yourself and plug it into monitor and into one of the DisplayPort sockets of your RX 580 in back of your tower case.
Typical RX 580 graphics sockets plate looks like this:

DisplayPort sockets look same as monitor ones and have DP marked below them usually.

one of my computers is connected to a 75hz freesync monitor via hdmi and works just fine. enable freesync and cap the framerate at 73.

Depends on the monitor, newer monitors also enable Freesync over HDMI, but older ones did not. When Freesync was first launched it supported only DisplayPort for Freesync, then support over HDMI was added.
Worth a try, just try to enable Freesync from your AMD driver display settings, if you dont know how the video I posted above shows how.

I own a MSI GAMING RX580 X4GB.
It is a good GPU (double performance than my previous GTX 760 2GB).
In my last game purchased (Dirt 4) it runs like GTX 1070 and far better than his rival GTX 1060 6GB.
The only issue is you can't max out graphics on few demanding games due to 4GB VRAM but if you play as I do with high settings and CMAA/FXAA you won't incur any issue.
To be honest if you aim at 60+ fps in upcoming games you should do that anyway regardless of VRAM usage because in few months 60+ fps ultra would be very demanding.

Assassins Creed Games are unoptimized and even with a 1070...it cant get a stable 60fps...so much citizens and environments to load

So I guess you'd need a 1080ti to really get the full graphics of that game? A little out of my budget

The fps in games have nothing to do with the Hz of the monitor.
Just because the monitor is 75Hz doesn't mean automatically that your GPU can push 75fps.

The 75Hz means that the monitor can refresh 75 times the picture in a second.
If you get less fps you could have stuttering if more you get screen tears.

Otherwise it would be dumb to buy expensive GPU's if you just need a 144Hz monitor to always get 144fps even with a 10$ GPU.

Assasins Creed games are not unoptimized...
I run all Assassins Creed titles with a GTX 1080 Ti at Ultra settings in 4K with 60fps+ stable. The card is merely twice as strong as a GTX 1060 for 4 times the pixels it has to render.

Assassins Creed especially Origin are just heavy CPU bound and multicore depending. You see huge difference between i7-7700K and 8700K.
