At the moment I'm going for temporary gpu upgrade (while waiting for navi 5800/5900) from r9 380 and gpu of choice is 8GB 580. I'm split between to variants which are at the same price: powercolor red dragon or asrock phantom gaming x. I assume main difference between them would be in thermals and noise. To be honest it is not easy to find reviews of these particular models. Please help me to make a choice, what would you choose, which one do you recommend?
AMD work closely with Sapphire which is AMD's preferred board partner. https://i.**********/Wbqtx43K/Untitled.jpg
For the price of a new 580 or 590 just get a vega , check used prices. just get a 56 and be don ewith it until you get a 5800 or something better.
Most rx590 can be had for under $250 US now. I own a Sapphire nitro+ rx590 and i really like it.....going for $236.99 on newegg.
I would agree with @The_Amazing_X just get a used vega56 for 200$. 580 is a decent option at 180$ new.
