    Decent video card for most gamers

    At the time of this writing, the prices of video cards have started to go down. It's still not where I think it should be but that's a different topic. This is almost the same performance as Nvidia's 1060. Since those cost about $80 more, I went with this instead. The advantage of this one is that this has 8GB of memory instead of the maximum of 6GB for the 1060. This does use a bit more power though. It performs fairly well for the PC games that I play. This should be the key factor for buying video cards. For most people, this level of performance will be sufficient for high or medium settings. This would also be a decent starter card. Under heavy load, the fans do make a fair amount of noise but not horribly high. It is easy to install if you have the space in your case. Depending on your gear, make sure to also have a sufficient power supply as this uses 185 watts.

    Works great, using it to edit photos and videos.

    This video card works great; the colors look great, sharp, and vivid. Not only does it perform well, it looks cool. With a nice design and nice colors too, it is for gamers but I use it to edit photos and videos and I needed a card that can work with me and this one does that and more. It stays cool due to the help of its fans; it has the heatsink to keep it cool too. Great resolution and it is always ready to take on multiple tasks as well. I have two large screens and they function great.

    Can run most games on ultra setting, would be five stars if not for the following. Runs very hot, had to get a least 5 case fans to keep my system cool. Getting the rewards code from Best Buy was a nightmare. Codes were not emailed to me as advertised. Instead I had to go through emails to their corporate office and eventually was able to get them. Big reason on why I chose this one over competitors, but was way more work than expected.

    This is a great card from AMD. Most feel it's close to equal to the nvidea 1060. Best Buy had a great deal on it at the time I purchased it and I especially wanted the 8GB version in case it's ever needed for video editing. The more RAM listed for the card, the better when it comes to tasks such as that. I have also seen a lot of reviews saying this is a good version of the card as far as cooling, noise levels, and likely longevity.

    If you're a gamer this is a good card, certainly not a 1080ti, but good in its own right, especially considering its cost. I had a hard time keeping temps down when mining with this though.

    Plenty of performance for most of us save for the die hard gamers I suppose. Good value when on sale. Video cards prices are crazy right now, so a card like this which offers a decent balance of performance and price is a wise choice.

    Cons: not a 1070 or 1080, and can cost too much Pros: got on sale, already had a freesync monitor to pair it with, plenty powerful for any older games, powerful enough for today’s games but may need to fiddle with some settings. For the price I got it at-can’t beat it. Haven’t tested 4K yet, but reviews show it is fine for 1440p for most games if you fiddle with settings. Personally I love this card.

    This was on sale for $250, which was a great price. For the price, the RX 580 is a better bang for the buck than the GTX 1060 6GB.

    If you buy this card make sure you upgrade you power supply. I had a 500w that I had to replace. I’m lucky though. I could have caused damage to my mother board. Now I have 850w power supply and everything runs smooth.

    I bought this to give radeon another shot and i was disappointed again. I had issues running most of my games at 60 fps. I ended up selling it and getting a 1070ti and i didn't look back. do yourself a favor just get a nvidia.

    Not worth over 180 bucks as of Nov 2018, even that's too much. You can find better GPUs for just a bit more than 200.

    We didn't realize the window to exchange it through best buy was only 2 weeks so we had to pay to ship it back to the company. Don't know when we will be getting the refurb.
