This graphics card is a great value at its current resale value, ($190-$230) for a used/refurbished example. Its an impressive card even 4 years later (at the time). 8GB of GDDR5 is sufficient for 1080p gaming even for Cyber Punk 2077, however the card is just strong enough for 1080p medium settings for that game. For competitive titles it is more than enough for over 120 fps in most games at 1080p low (or performance) settings. The version I own is a 1st revision version I bought for $150 with an overheating issue. Changed thermal paste and cleaned the fans and shroud and it has been a very good card so far.

Performance
GPU clock speed
1257 MHz
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
GPU turbo
1355 MHz
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
pixel rate
42.88 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
floating-point performance
6.17 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
texture rate
193 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
GPU memory speed
2000 MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
shading units
2304
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
texture mapping units (TMUs)
144
TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.
render output units (ROPs)
32
The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
8000 MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
maximum memory bandwidth
256 GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
VRAM
8GB
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
GDDR version
GDDR5
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
memory bus width
256-bit
A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.
Supports ECC memory
✖Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
Features
DirectX version
DirectX 12
DirectX is used in video games, with newer versions supporting better graphics and features. The latest version is DirectX 12 Ultimate, which includes support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading (VRS).
OpenGL version
4.5
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
OpenCL version
2
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
Supports multi-display technology
✔Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.
load GPU temperature
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.
supports ray tracing
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Supports 3D
✔Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).
supports DLSS
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.
AMD SAM / Intel Resizable BAR
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
AMD's Smart Access Memory (SAM) and Intel's Resizable BAR are two technologies that allow the CPU to have faster access to the graphics card, which can give a performance boost. It requires a compatible motherboard, graphics card, and CPU.
Ports
has an HDMI output
✔Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
You can output high definition video and audio to a display. This could be through an HDMI port, Mini HDMI port, or a USB-C port that supports HDMI.
HDMI ports
1
More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.
HDMI version
HDMI 2.0
Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.
DisplayPort outputs
3
Allows you to connect to a display using DisplayPort.
USB-C ports
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
With more USB-C ports, you are able to connect more devices/peripherals.
DVI outputs
1
Allows you to connect to a display using DVI.
mini DisplayPort outputs
Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.
General info
Thermal Design Power (TDP)
185W
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
number of transistors
5700 million
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
semiconductor size
14 nm
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
PCI Express (PCIe) version
3
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
warranty period
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
