With the official RX 500 series launch, we learned that the new 500 series cards are hopped up versions of the 400 series of cards. With that in mind, all of the aftermarket cards have to up their game to keep things cool. So today I’m going to check out a second card and see how much they ended squeezing out of the card and what they had to do to keep things cool and quiet. That card is the RX580 8GB GTS from XFX. XFX kept their old cooler design on some of their cards, but for their flagship the GTS they went a completely new design. I’m excited to see how that looks and how it performs. Let’s dive into it.

I also take a look at the GPUz to confirm that the XFX RX580 GTS has the 1405MHz clock speed that is promised and as you can see below it does. Beyond that you can also see the firmware revision I tested with and the launch press beta driver I tested with as well.
