The AMD RX 580 was actually a bit of a disappointment when it first arrived last year. That's not really anything to do with its actual performance - at its initial price point it was capable of knocking the GTX 1060 off its perch atop our best graphics card list. No, the problem was it was essentially just a rebadged RX 480. Boring.
Times, they are a-changing, with new GPUs are popping up all the time. But if you want the best graphics cards right now these are they.
We were hoping the RX 500 series was going to kick off with a bang and a new AMD Vega GPU, but Raja was still working on those right up to their August launch. Potentially while also working on his Intel resume too.
Instead we got a range of essentially rebadged RX 400 series cards, with a slight clockspeed bump and all the impressive Vulkan and DirectX 12 performance the first Polaris GPUs offered too.
