Most DIY users who follow the Radeon series would know that the RX 570 is just a revised RX 470 with a high clock and memory speed. PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 570 4GB GDDR5 edition boosts the GPU with it’s engine clocked up to 1320 MHz with boost and memory clock at 1750 MHz. This additional boost makes it compare favourably to the more expensive Nvidia flavours including the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB and 6GB cards. Show From our tests of new and old benchmarks, it is noted that the performance of the graphics card can match and in some cases outperform the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. Although this happened in 3DMark, some of the older benchmarks showed otherwise and we reckon that as it’s target was meant to be the GeForce GTX 1050. In terms of overclocking, the overclocking tool Wattman is somewhat hidden within the Crimson driver and it took some time to get accustomed to the interface. Although the card is pre overclocked, we managed to squeeze a bit more by moving the clocks to 1405/1850 MHz (GPU/VRAM). That is a 6.4% jump in GPU Clock speed. The fans were reasonably quiet during the Overclocking test as they were turned up to the maximum speed available within Wattman. While all tests were done with benchmarks, it gives us an indication that when the cards are set to run with high AA/AF at 1080p, the cards performance difference narrows. Costs and performance are consideration factors when purchasing a new graphics card. The PowerColor Radeon RX570 Red Devil edition isn’t price that expensively against the competition.

This is typically around £10-30 cheaper than the GTX 1060, and while the Nvidia card is a little bit faster, it’s not so far ahead that you would usually notice in real world usage. Overview The latest card from Powercolor is interesting. It’s certainly an upgrade and improvement on the older RX 470 chipsets, and while the Radeon card range is eagerly in need of new blood, such as the new Vega cards that are on the horizon, the 5xx series still offer very good value for money. If you bought the RX4xx series of cards, there’s pretty much no reason to upgrade right now. However, if you’re still sitting on a mid-budget GPU that’s 2-years or even older, then you’re certainly the target market for this type of card. When it comes to delivering rock solid 60fps and above frame rates at 1080p, the Powercolor Red Devil RX 570 is right on the money. It’s a fast card for gaming, even at ultra graphics settings, with a little overhead left for higher frame rate displays, or adding some antialiasing for a smoother looking game. Add to that the inclusion of Radeon Chill, which can drastically cut power usage while still delivering your target frame rate, FreeSync 2 for judder free gaming, and HDR video output for those using it on newer monitors and 4K TVs, it’s a compelling upgrade. It’s pretty much head to head in terms of performance with the GTX 1060, but the only real difference is which you prefer, as we all know some people are firmly loyal to the red or green team. Efficiency is rubbish on this card, although if you’re gaming on games that support Radeon Chill, that can easily tip the balance back in AMDs favour. This is an older chipset, with increased power requirements and bigger overclocks, so it eats up the power. The cooler does a great job though, and while the card does run a little warm, it runs very quietly too, giving you a choice to run it quiet, or increase the fan RPM to keep it cooler. The improved power delivery and cooling did have one nice benefit though, as I was able to squeeze another 4.5% performance improvement out of the card, helping it take back the lead from the similar specification and priced Sapphire RX 570. Build quality is literally a strong point for this card too. Not only does it look fantastic, but it feels it too. The durable metal backplate and shroud design give the card a rigid design, and it’s sure to look visually appealing in any gaming system. Pros

“If you invested in a mid-range card a few years ago and modern games are proving hard work for your rig, the RX 570 is a great upgrade for those looking for reliable frame rates at 1080p, without the burden of the price tags of modern high-end graphics cards.” Is Red Devil GPU worth it?So far in my testing the performance has been excellent, as have temperatures. I'm using the silent mode with its lower fan speeds, but I never saw the temperature even get at all hot even when I tested games and StableDiffusion settings that made it use 99-100% of the GPU. Is RX 570 worth buying?The RX 570 is a great value to performance card for entry level gaming. It's between the speed of a GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1060, and will work great especially in older esports titles like league of legends, dota and cs go. Is RX 570 low end?This Radeon RX 570 4GB graphics card is considered budget with poor modern game performance when playing anything more demanding than indie game requirements. DirectX 12 gaming system requirements will be met by this gpu. We take a look at game performance achieved on this graphics card when running 2024 popular games. How much power does the RX 570 Red Devil use?Power Consumption Results: With the PowerColor RED DEVIL Radeon RX 570 installed in the system we topped out at 405 Watts when running BF1 at 1080P resolutions and used 155W at idle. |
