Packaging
The box is typical for Gigabyte, with their standard graphics on the front that we’ve seen for many years now. It does sport a few extra features though, such as RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting, their well established Windforce cooler design, and it’s an OC Edition too.
Around the back, we’ve got plenty of details on the cooler design. Windforce coolers spin the fans in opposite directions, creating a bigger air vortex for improved cooling. Furthermore, with RGB Fusion 2.0, you’ll be able to customise the lighting of the Gigabyte logo on the side of the card.
£158 is a bit more than I’d like for a low-end gaming card.
How does it compare to the £125 (!) RX 570? https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Radeon-ARMOR-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B071CFM8XS/ref=asc_df_B071CFM8XS/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310739933748&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18230528060004035774&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045888&hvtargid=pla-323115503421&psc=1
You can even get 4GB RX 580s from £150 …
Sure, they are louder and use more power, but they are more performant.
And let’s not consider second hand versions of these.
This is a piece of shit.
The rx570 (rx470) wich is three years old, is much faster and cheaper than this pile of junk
