The Gigabyte Gaming RX 580 is the first GPU ever to be reviewed on this website. The GPU is small and not power-hungry, making it a perfect choice for beginners. It has a feature where, when temperatures are cool enough, the fans will stop spinning. The GPU comes with 8GB of GDDR5 and a 256-bit memory bus, making it suitable for playing games at 1080p or lower at a solid 60fps. The fans are not loud and can only be heard when they start up. The downside to this particular model is that when trying to overclock or even undervolt the GPU, it may crash and require a restart. This is apparently a bug that plagues this version of the GPU and is unfixable. It is best to use this card as a normal gaming GPU and not mess with the settings.
I give the Gigabyte Gaming RX 580 a 2.5/5.
