AMD Red Team
AMD is a California hardware company focused on the production of processors, graphics chips and chipsets. AMD's biggest competitors are Intel (producers of processors and chipsets) and NVIDIA (producers of graphics chips). AMD is also a major manufacturer of gaming and console APUs and GPUs. For example, for PlayStation 4 / Pro and XBOX One / One S. We must also not forget to mention the professional and server graphics cards FirePro, Radeon SKY and Radeon PRO.

Play to your max!
Are you an avid computer gamer? Do you want to play (almost) at maximum, in high resolution Full HD or QHD? Then you choose correctly! The AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics chip will reliably fulfill these requirements. It is based on the latest AMD Polaris architecture, which offers a higher clock frequency, higher efficiency and lower consumption. Even if the chip does not reach the maximum dimensions, it will definitely not disappoint you with its performance! It is suitable for all players who want to play well without unnecessary compromises and at the same time want to save money. The company AMD belongs to the absolute top in the field of graphics chips, so choosing a graphics card with this chip is a safe bet.

For a great gaming experience and work commitment
The capacity of the graphics memory is an important figure that affects the overall performance of the graphics card. The more memory we have available, the higher performance it will offer us. The graphics memory for this card is 8 GB. It is therefore suitable for multimedia - playing movies, browsing the Internet, playing games, processing videos or even just normal office work. The recommended resolution for this amount of graphics memory is QHD (1440p) to 4K (2160p).
| Memory capacity | Memory type | Memory frequency |
| 8 GB | GDDR5 | 8100 MHz |
Even the width of the memory bus determines the performance...
The memory bus connects the graphics chip to the memory. Its width tells us how much data can be transferred from memory in one cycle. The bus of this card has a width of 256 bits and offers a memory bandwidth equal to 256 GB/s. You will appreciate this, for example, when working with large data volumes or rendering photos or videos, when it will significantly speed up work. In general: the wider the bus, the greater the throughput.
| Bus width | Bus throughput |
| 256 bit | 256 GB / s |
PCI Express third generation
PCI Express 3.0 x16 is a modern interface used in the latest multimedia, gaming or work graphics cards. The interface is in the form of an expansion slot to ensure the modularity of the entire system. Used to connect the graphics card to the rest of the computer. It is true that the higher the version and the wider the interface, the higher the performance and throughput it will achieve. This graphics card requires 270 mm of free space (in length) to fit into the expansion slot.
| Interface specification | Occupancy of slots | Card length |
| PCI-Express 3.0 x16 | 2 | 270 mm |
Graphic outputs
Connecting to an LCD monitor or TV will be a piece of cake. See the summary of the connectors that you will find in the XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Core Edition 8 GB /1366-1386 MHz graphics card:
DisplayPort – a modern interface for transmitting uncompressed digital images in high quality and multi-channel audio. In the 1.4 specification, it supports resolutions up to 8K (7680 x 4320 px) and allows the transmission of up to 32 audio channels. It is therefore suitable for the most demanding users or players. It is partially backwards compatible with DVI and HDMI connectors.
DVI – connector for high-resolution image transmission. This method of transfer is still used by many computer graphics cards, it can also be found in professional notebooks. An audio signal cannot be transmitted via DVI. Dual Link DVI can offer you a resolution of up to 2560 x 1600 px (60 Hz).
HDMI – graphic output, which is suitable for the simultaneous transmission of image and sound in the highest digital quality. High definition support up to 4K (60Hz) and surround audio with up to 32 channels. HDMI is a universal output used by graphics cards in computers, laptops and many other devices.Notice: For 60Hz 4K UHD picture via HDMI, HDMI 2.0 version support is required on both devices.
Features and technology
The graphics card has many functions and advanced technologies. See the summary of what you will find in the XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Core Edition 8 GB /1366-1386 MHz graphics card:
AMD CrossFire is a technology enabling multiple graphics cards to be connected by a so-called CrossFire bridge so that 2 or more cards (the limit is 4 chips) participate in rendering one scene. The goal of the CrossFire connection is a higher image rendering speed, thanks to parallel processing. AMD even allows us to create a so-called hybrid CrossFire - the connection of dedicated and integrated graphics in AMD APU. Hybrid CrossFire does not work with Intel processors. Since the launch of the RX series models, it is not recommended to pair more than 2 graphics chips.
AMD FreeSync is a technology developed by AMD. It uses a dynamic refresh rate and therefore can offer a maximum refresh rate of up to 240 Hz. With this technology, you can eliminate image tearing and lag. With this technology, you can enjoy an incredibly fast and smooth image. Support for HDR technology is new. It will offer us an even better image, cleaner colors by up to 25%, higher brightness and contrast. Requires a compatible AMD FreeSync monitor with a DisplayPort or HDMI video input for proper operation.
AMD Mantle is an application programming interface (API) from AMD, similar to Microsoft's DirectX API. This interface will offer higher gaming performance for games with Mantle support than when using competing DirectX. To use this interface, you must have an AMD graphics card with GCN architecture and the latest drivers. The difference in performance is approximately 13%. By using this technology, you can enjoy a smoother image and a better gaming experience.
DirectX 12 is a set of libraries providing an application interface (DirectX API) that allows software - mainly games, interactive applications and graphical user interfaces - to work directly with computer hardware. By using this technology, you will maximize your multimedia and gaming experience.
HDCP is a technology developed by Intel to protect digital content when transmitting video and audio via HDMI. DVI and DisplayPort ports also support HDCP protection. The principle of operation is simple, basically it involves encoding the image at the output, and it can only be decoded by an HDCP compatible display device.
OpenCL is an interface used in industry for parallel programming of computer systems, such as computers equipped with a processor, graphics chip, audio processor, or APU (processor and graphics chip in one package).
OpenGL is a cross-platform application interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D graphics. It is used for creating applications, computer graphics, games, CAD programs, virtual reality VR or technical visualization.
Vulkan is a new cross-platform application interface (API) for rendering both 2D and 3D graphics. It is similar to OpenGL, but based on the AMD Mantle interface. The main advantage of the new Vulkan is the possibility of more direct access and control over the hardware (processor, graphics card,...) of the computer. It thus opens the way to higher performance. Vulkan support is already included in their drivers by both of the two largest graphics chip manufacturers.
