XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition OC+ 8GB Video Card $159 + Postage ($0 VIC/NSW/QLD C&C / in-Store/ $250 Metro Order) @ Scorptec

160

Not sure how this deal will take however the card is $159 brand new with 3 year warranty and AMD just released drivers for this card as of 08-05-2025 Which means this card is now fully up-to-date
However don't expect newer driver updates

The price is reasonable for 8GB GPU with warranty.

at this price it seems to be a much better deal then the RX 6500XT 4GB which is around $199-220 Both cards are similar in performance however the RX 580 can do hardware encoding , specifically for H.264 and H.265 codecs and the 6500XT cannot.

Edit: Please note Dan24's comment this is the 2048SP model which means it's not a true RX 580

    The AMD Radeon RX 580 was officially released on April 18, 2017

    • +2

      Which is just a rebadged rx 480 from June 29, 2016.

    • +1

      technically this model being the 2048sp has a launch date of Nov 2022 according to the specsheet

    XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition

    The most Xs in a graphics card I've seen so far. Impressive.

    • there was an xtx model that had quite a few

    • +3

      Can this run xxx video?

      • +12

        Yes, it is capable of playing Vin Diesel movie

    • Just wait until you see the GTX XXX Edition!

  • +8

    Aka the real price of an RTX 5060 8 GB

  • +8

    Considering you can pick these up on Aliexpress (yes, IK its the 2048SP version) for ~110 dollars, I wouldn't say its worth it.

    At these prices, go used and grab a 1080 (TI) , 2060S, 5700 /XT for the same price. You'll have a much better time.

    • +4

      Fair point however there is more 'peace of mind' purchasing a brand new card with warranty from a reputable store. I see on ebay people are asking similar money for the RX 580 which is obviously old and used, this card for $159 new while it isn't anything amazing it's probably a better pick then a 6500XT

      • +4

        'peace of mind' purchasing a brand new card with warranty

        Absolutely not - if the card is 50% more expensive then you've just paid 50% more for the warranty 🤷

        This shouldn't give you peace of mind - you've just paid a 50% premium to cover a 0.1% chance of failure !!

        • +3

          How did you come up with 0.1% chance of failure ?

          Some dodgy used PC hardware sellers would palm off 'faulty but temporary fixed oven baked' graphic cards to unsuspecting buyers.

    • -8

      Every AMD deal, every time… sigh. GPU wise they are Temu NVIDIA until they properly invest in software R&D.

      That may finally be happening now, but we won't know the success of that for probably 2 years.

  • +2

    I have had 5 different GPU SKUs since I sold one of these…

  • +5

    Note this is sneakily a 2048sp model.

    • +3

      So this is actually more of a 570?

      • +3

        From memory yeah, same number of stream processors as a 570, just with a higher clock speed.

        • +1

          Wow that's terribly misleading, even my old rx480 nitro+ has more stream processors than this.

    • +1

      I didn't even know the 2048sp was a thing until you mentioned it… yes very sneaky… 😥

      • Indeed, I remember seeing this a while back and I didn't realise until I saw some people mentioning it in Scorptec's reviews. Seems a few people were caught out

        • +1

          Yeah, we actually had a few pc builders awhile ago acquire these Chinese market GPU's and made cheap entry rigs with them….

          But they were upfront about them being 2048SP's I think….

  • I have one sitting in the draw somewhere. Ha

  • Is this like a GTX 1060 equivalent?

    Unless you intend to use it to play at 1080P 30fps, or use in a cheap PC for the kids, what’s the use case?

  • I have an an RX580 since 2018 and I can run any current game well at 1080p.For a budget gaming PC this is a great pick up. People saying buy a second hand NVIDIA.. Ti die next year whatever it's called. Sorry but AMD cards are supported well after they stop selling them and they are stable. Do you want someone else's potential problem or a budget quality chipset that will last about 5 years more and it will last 5 years before you notice you can't play the next gen games on it anymore. That's my experience,I've had Nvidia cards and I don't think they are amazing or that much better. Radeon all the way

    • Can it run Indiana jones though? ;)

      • +1

        Checked the specs for Indiana Jones… Requires ray tracing lol.. yeah probably not. I'll call it's bluff and think it would still run. Might give it a go for Lols. Card Runs Cyberpunk and Starfield pretty well. You can look at clock speed and it doesn't tell the whole story about actual performance over time. The same People will buy the best graphics card then buy a monitor that refreshes at 60hz and outputs at 1080p.

        • On linux you can ignore raytracing requirements with 'emulation' but it will whine about it on windows….. But I'm glad you still enjoy your card…..

  • Is this the card people use to run CRT Emudriver?

  • in 2025 you can find a brand new graphics card equivalent as GTX 1060 3GB with $159 still be called a bargain. ewwwwwww

    • I gave my brother my GTX 1060 3GB yesterday. Still can run COD Modern Warfare pretty well.

    • And get your negative vote stripped from you for pointing that out and highlighting significantly better alternatives for little more money.

      Both the 6GB and 8GB RTX 3050 are substantially better value for money, as is the Intel A570.

      Then there's used RTX 20 series cards, and everything in the RTX 30 series up to the RTX 3070 (~$400).

  • +1

    Did I go back in time or something? What are we doing here?

  • +3

    6600 for $130 more and it's about twice as fast

    • not quite it's around 50% faster source: tech powerup

    • Still a better pick than the OP's deal, but would imagine it doesn't stack up favourably against the RTX 3050 8GB once you factor in DLSS 4, or the Intel B570 (though it should be below $350 by now).

      • 6600 should be about 20% faster than a 3050 8GB in rasterization so I would actually prefer that, plus it's cheaper. I wouldn't touch Intel unless you have a high end CPU.

        • Totally fair if you don't have resizeable BAR for Intel, true, but for the RTX 3050 8GB, DLSS 4 even on the quality setting should be increasing FPS by at least 20% while overall looking better than native, that's my argument. I think it trumps the 6600 and maybe even edges out the 7600 often enough.

          But these are all much better options than buying an RX 580 in 2025. Shows you how ridiculous the narrative has become online.

          • @jasswolf:

            Totally fair if you don't have resizeable BAR for Intel

            That's a different issue. This video explain it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00GmwHIJuJY
            In Spiderman they show that a Ryzen 5 7600 isn't fast enough for a B580.

            DLSS 4 even on the quality setting should be increasing FPS by at least 20% while overall looking better than native, that's my argument. I think it trumps the 6600 and maybe even edges out the 7600 often enough.

            Well not everyone exclusively only plays DLSS 4 games and even still, AMD upscaling seems decent enough nowadays. Eitherway if you're really going to be spending so much more you may as well get a 7600 or 4060 at that point.

            • -1

              @BROKENKEYBOARD: I'm aware of the driver overhead issue, but it's one Intel have acknowledged and are actively investigating. It's also totally fine at 1440p right now due to lower frame rates, though maybe not if you're still rocking a Ryzen 1600/2600.

              Well not everyone exclusively only plays DLSS 4 games and even still, AMD upscaling seems decent enough nowadays. Eitherway if you're really going to be spending so much more you may as well get a 7600 or 4060 at that point.

              AMD upscaling is improved sufficiently on the RX 9000 series, and even then it sits well behind DLSS 4. None of the FSR 4 improvements apply to this discussion. FSR 3 is a break glass in case of emergency solution despite having improved over time.

              DLSS 4 is a valid consideration when comparing the RTX 3050 8GB and the RX 6600, but I haven't run the numbers on that. There is more than enough game support, especially going forward.

              If you're not buying the RX 9000 series, AMD GPUs are almost dead in the water, and at the price tag of most RX 9000 GPUs - including the 9060 XT - you're often better off with RTX 50 GPU due to path tracing performance as you are presumably buying for 4+ years use. I know that seems extreme for the RTX 5070 and below, but developers will be integrating a lot of technology that improves the VRAM situation with path tracing (and detailed graphics in general).

              AMD are at least 2 years behind on all of this on RDNA4 despite getting the hardware relatively closer, and it's showing in the FSR Redstone tech demos.

                I wouldn't recommend a product just because the manufacturer acknowledged there is a problem, that's just gambling.

                , and even then it sits well behind DLSS 4.

                I bet majority of people wouldn't notice a "well behind" difference if they compared playing games side by side. You'd have to be comparing still frames zoomed in if you're noticing substantial differences.

                This is ridiculous, this deal is about a $159 GPU or $289 for the 6600, not a $1000+ GPU for path tracing. Also expecting current gen GPUs even the 5070 to be path tracing well in 4 years time is a huge stretch.

                I know that seems extreme for the RTX 5070 and below, but developers will be integrating a lot of technology that improves the VRAM situation with path tracing (and detailed graphics in general).

                That sounds like more gambling, there's no guarantee that VRAM limitations could be fixed, nor whether these fixes will be applied to already existing or future games, nor even whether the GPUs will have enough horsepower anyway.

                  FSR 4 vs DLSS 4? Yes you can see a difference in aspects while in motion, this has been shown, repeatedly.

                  This is ridiculous, this deal is about a $159 GPU or $289 for the 6600, not a $1000+ GPU for path tracing. Also expecting current gen GPUs even the 5070 to be path tracing well in 4 years time is a huge stretch.

                  This is just me commenting more widely on AMD GPUs and their issues on-going. People have access to some of these technologies with an RTX 30 series card, and you're saying they should cut themselves off from that almost entirely with the RX 6000 series. It's a big gap in terms of AI and RT performance (performance that extends beyond DLSS and tracing rays in games).

                  That sounds like more gambling, there's no guarantee that VRAM limitations could be fixed, nor whether these fixes will be applied to already existing or future games, nor even whether the GPUs will have enough horsepower anyway.

                  You can literally play path traced HL2 today that works within this budget. One of the few gaming efforts that's actually bothered to integrate Sampler Feedback, and there's other compression and asset streaming at play.

                  Intel B580 at 1080p on an older machine is definitely gambling, this is vastly less so. Neural compression alone will see massive adoption due to decreasing game storage requirements and thus download size, all while being supported on every RTX card, and at least one series of RDNA cards.

                    I'd expect most people wanting a low end GPU would have a 1080p monitor, also the video doesn't do any testing with multiplayer games where CPU bottlenecking is far more common.

                    and you're saying they should cut themselves off from that almost entirely with the RX 6000 series. It's a big gap in terms of AI and RT performance

                    So you really expect people with a 3050 to be using AI and RT?

                    You can literally play path traced HL2 today that works within this budget.

                    Can you give an example?

                      DLSS, yes. Other upcoming AI work in Windows? Sure. Perhaps some other small-scale in-game AI acceleration as well.

                      RT? We're seeing advancements with neural radiance caching that may enhance even the entry level RT GPUs from NVIDIA, and failing that hardware-accelerated RT sound is a thing that can be done.

                      Can you give an example?

                      The HL2 RTX demo supposedly maxes out at 12 GB VRAM (note: not used), at 1440p, max settings… so I already gave you the example? The game happily dynamically allocates due to Sampler Feedback.

                      • @jasswolf:

                        so I already gave you the example?

                        As in a benchmark of "play path traced HL2 today that works within this budget". A 3050 would struggle hard, maybe in the best case scenario you could get a second hand 4060 it would still struggle.

                        • @BROKENKEYBOARD: I was never claiming that of the 3050, merely that similar tech can alleviate some issues for lighter RT workloads on older cards. Sorry for the confusion!

  • +1

    What processor would you recommend OP? An i5-7400 or perhaps a Ryzen 1600? 8gb ram should be plenty and i already have a 250GB sata ssd.

    • What are you hoping to do with this PC, operating system, price range/budget?

      That may help people answer your question….

      I have my second rig with:

      Ryzen 3700x
      Aliexpress RX580 2048SP 8gb
      32gb 3200 ram
      ~2tb storage currently(or more, can't remember ;) )
      OS: POP OS 22.04 LTS

    • On the off-chance this isn't a piss take or someone takes it seriously, because this deal is madness: please buy a new budget pre-built, they start at about $650 and wipe the floor with all of this.

      • +2

        No, it was a piss take.

        • Apologies, we live very much in a time to be alive

    Its almost e-waste at this point.

    • -1

      Not really, but a $159 plus potential shipping is certainly tough to swallow and I am sad to agree that saving a bit more money for a better card (6600 like suggested) would be wiser…. or buy a rx580 2048SP from aliexpress for under $100…..

      Source?: I own a rx580 2048SP(from ali, paid around ~$80-95 I think) and I enjoy it for my use case(A full time Linux desktop)

  • +1

    while its on old weak card its brand new with warranty vs 5-10year old 2nd hand market like a gtx1070 that yes people want over $150 for.

    rx6600 is $300 new on staticice for a comparison

    • If you only have $150 to spend on a graphics card, you probably shouldn't buy new today. That's going to shift back around over the next few years due to various chip and AI advances and the new 3GB VRAM chip options, as well as newer iGPU configurations slowly coming down in price.

      If people are walking around with premium phones, they're going to get a lot of gaming value out of that and many can transform into a desktop experience with a USB-C dock, or at least feed a display and audio output and accept KBM input via one, and there's also affordable cloud gaming options they can flip on for a week or a month if they need to roll out something that is PC only.

      Invest in that, or save for that $300-$400 range, or alternatively divest of your current system and buy a $650-$800 pre-built and leap even further forward.

      • What type of card would you get in one of those pre-builts?

        • Most likely an RTX 4060 at this stage, but 8GB 4060 Ti and the RTX 5060 should slide into that scope soon. You can see a number of offers here on the website.

          Smart move would be to get an AM5 system (AMD Ryzen 7000/8000/9000).
