Radeon RX 570 | Specs, Price, Performance with benchmarks

The Radeon RX 570 was launched by AMD in April 2017 at the price of around $150 to $170. It was a mid-range card from Radeon RX 500 series and was a perfect choice for budget gamers by AMD as it provided a perfect performance to price ratio but the miners bought almost all of the cards thus, the price increased too much.

Well, except that this card was cheaper the old Radeon RX 470 but it gave the performance which was bit less than the Radeon RX 480. Also it was also more powerful than the closely priced Geforce GTX 1050 Ti from Nvidia, thus those who bought it before miners did were very lucky. Now in 2020 the prices have fallen upto $130 which is amazing as drivers have increased the performance greatly.

The Radeon RX 570 is built on the 14nm process and based on the Polaris 20 Graphics Processor which will support all the latest games because it has Directx 12 enabled. It comes with the base Frequency of 1168 MHz and Boost frequency of 1244 MHz ( the frequencies may vary from brand to brand ), here i have one card from PowerColor which has a slightly higher clock of 1250 MHz.

According To AMD official site this GPU requires at least a 150W power supply and along with the whole system about 450 W PSU is required ( i will say go with at least 550W or more as it is future proof ). It has no VGA support but has HDMI support upto 4K60 Hz. It also supports Display port 1.4 and DVI port.

It requires an 8pin PCIe 3.0 Power Connector to work. It also supports 4096x2160p as the maximum resolution. You need atleast a Processor equivalent to a Ryzen 3 1300X @3.7 GHz to use this card's full potential on 1920x1080p resolution.

Here are the gaming results:

Those were the results and remember that the games were played on 1920x1080 resolution at Ultra settings. This card performed very similar to the Geforce GTX 1060! If you are a budget E-sports gamer and want to play games like CS GO, Valorant, Dota 2, etc at 240 FPS on low settings Full HD then its a perfect GPU for you, pair it with a $100 Ryzen 3 3100 and game. Also if you want to play games at 60+ FPS on high settings 1080p then this is the best GPU ever for you. Go buy it.
