Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB Review

Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy game set in the future where descendants of humans (called Post- Humans) and a powerful artificial intelligence (called the Substrate) fight a war for control of a resource known as Turinium.

Players will engage in massive-scale land/air battles by commanding entire armies of their own design. Each game takes place on one area of a planet, with each player starting with a home base (known as a Nexus) and a single construction unit.

We opt for the Extreme quality profile and run the GPU-Focused test using the DX12 game mode.

Ashes favours both RX 580 cards, and you can see that the Pulse model is only a couple of frames slower than the more expensive Nitro+ LE card.

  1. Good review as always! ;D

  2. Great review thank you. So this card is most likely using up Sapphires remaining 480 chips hence the poor OC the card got or you just got a card that lost the chip lottery. lol

    My nitro 480 is rock stable @1415/2050. So probably bad sample or issue is somewhere else.

  4. It’s just the silicon lottery – we can rule out Sapphire re-using a 480 as the 580 is manufacturered with a modified 14nm process so the chips aren’t exactly the same. But it is still the same, overall Polaris architecture.

  5. Yea probably just a bad sample Sapphire is a good company I own 2 TrI-X cards and they have been very solid cards and the Tri-X coolers used on their cards are very well built for sure.

  6. Yep most likely 100% true just the Silicon Lottery and nothing else.

  7. Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !mj51d:

  8. In a nutshell, its about as fast as a overclocked GTX980, pretty decent. Don’t forget folks that RX480/580 actually tends to OC better with lower voltages. The reasoning for not attempting a memory OC is pretty weak though, memory OCing on graphics cards is very easy and not time consuming.

  9. You mention a £239.99 retail price but when I follow your link the card is £449.99 so almost twice this price : any thoughts on that inflation in less than a year ?
