Alright, drum-roll, there she is; the Phantom Gaming Radeon RX580 OC from ASRock, we received the 8 GB version, a 4GB version is available as well. The card has been fitted with a heat pipe design cooler. It has just one PCIe PEG power connector (8-pin). The graphics card is a good match for Full HD gaming, up-to 1080P but also is capable at 2560x1440 (Wide)Quad HD. The PCB is colored matte black with the cooler that matches that theme. ASRock makes use of thick heat pipes which lower the temperature and increase performance when compared to narrower 6mm ones, however, they use merely three of them. 

 
In our findings, the card is roughly 10% faster compared to the Radeon RX 480. The prices due to the mining craze are still at launch level, roughly 299 USD / 329 EUR with 8GB of graphics memory. Obviously, there's a lot to check out other than performance in a review, we'll have a peek at PCB heat levels, GPU temperatures as well as noise levels.  
  

 
This Radeon RX 580 is armed with 8 GB graphics memory which will be clocked at 8.0 Gbps / 256-bit to give you a little more leash with the higher resolutions and image quality settings. The reference clocked product will run with clock frequencies up to 1257 MHz on its 2304 shader processors with a 1340 Boost, this model comes clocked in at a 1380 MHz boost at default out of the box settings. 
 
  

This Polaris 20/Ellesmere GPU based product has been designed to be a match for the most popular Full HD and Wide Quad HD resolutions. Actually, it places a strong focus on 1440P gaming. ASRock fits the card with one HDMI (2.0b), three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors as well as one DVI connector.
