Even though refurbished I experienced no problem with the install or subsequent use. I am not a Gamer, but needed the added pixel support for a widescreen monitor. The onscreen temperature monitor indicates that the card is running at a low temperature. CPU utilization is round 3-5%

Great Budget GPU For Beginning PC Gaming

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

Well, thinking about starting PC gaming with a Core I5-2500 was an interesting task for me, especially that I learned everything on my way up. This graphics card outperforms the GTX 1650 to some degree and is lower in price. I've had this card for around 2-3 months, and it hasn't failed me yet. I've had zero problems in games, updating wouldn't hurt performance, and AMD's control panel for the GPU is top notch and is very helpful. This is a great card for budget builds and for beginners as well.

Benchmarks (w/ Core I5-2500, 16 GB DDR3-1333)
All 900p
Fortnite - Epic Settings, Anti-Aliasing High
Avg: 70-100 FPS
Titanfall 2 - Maxed, High Textures

Wolfenstein 2 - Mix of High and Max, 8x TSSAA
Avg: 60 FPS (While on Submarine Hub), 120-160 FPS Elsewhere

So the card itself is great so far it's been about two months and everything is working as it should. Had some early issues with drivers but a update was released that corrected them. I'd purchase this again if I had to I didn't really know the manufacturer but I think in the future I'll chose them over other manufacturers. They package the product in a sturdy card cardboard box inside their normal soft box which is important as this is Amazon and they really haven't gotten any better at shipping PC components and the Amazon outer box was dented and ripped luckily the graphics card has that hard cardboard box that seemed to protect it as it hasn't had any issues yet. If you need a graphics card this one is great I assume you know what kind of performance you get out of the 570 line so your just wondering about the quality of the card this one is definitely above the rest it just feels better than a msi armour I had before it.

So i got this at a bargain $119 for a new cheap build, so i am testing it in my old cheap rig that has a core i3 7100, 8 Gb of RAM 2400mhz, an Asrock H110m, with a 550 power supply. First the picture color is deceiving, since the color of the card is Black! it doesn't look at all like the pictures, it is well built and very robust i will do a hardcore OC to check how far it can go, other than that, it OC fine at 1330mhz and memory at 2250mhz with a slight noise level and you can set the power target to 30 max. My ASIC score on this card was 76.5 which is alright, i guess the good silicon they leave it for the NITRO series, but my old card has an ASIC score of 50% so this is a huge upgrade!

Best Bang For The Buck

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2019

Needed to beef up my budget gamer and this card was the perfect solution. Gaming on 1080p Ultra is what I wanted and this GPU does that and is fast and quiet.

Wanted to complete my all-AMD build with a RX video card and the Sapphire is the best bang for the buck. It pairs well with my Ryzen 3 2200G CPU.

Don't make the same mistake I made of installing the AMD Adrenaline drivers while. your computer is going through a Windows update. It gave me a bad image message, but, once I rolled back the driver via Windows, all is well.

Works great, when it works

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2019

So I've been using this for a day now, and I've had nothing but issues. I upgraded from a GTX 1050 ti to this GPU, used DDU to wipe all the Nvidia drivers and software, then installed the latest drivers from AMD. When it works it works great, higher performance than the 1050 ti at 1080p, good temps, and the fans aren't too loud. There is an annoyingly large amount of coil whine under load though, and in many games I am getting complete system locks that require a hard shutdown by holding the power button. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue, an OS issue, or just an issue with the GPU itself, but I never had any of these issues with the previous GPU across multiple driver versions, operating systems, and different hardware. I don't believe the issue is on my end, I have sufficient power, the latest operating system with the latest updates, and the latest drivers. I do have a slight overclock, but the issues still persist even at factory settings and no over clock. I will probably be reinstalling my 1050 ti as it just works without issue, and will be buying something else next payday from either Nvidia or a different board partner. Maybe I was unlucky and just got a dud.

Make sure to update your motherboard bios if it doesn’t start up. Works great afterwards!

Installed it and it would just sit on the Mobo Splash screen. Wouldn’t boot up. Googled it and apparently you must update the bios for older motherboards. I have an Asus M5A97. So I installed my old graphics card and downloaded the bios and installed that via usb flash drive and reinstalled the new card and now it works fine. Love the card so far! Upgrading from a HD 7870. Big difference. Works flawless. Tested it out on Forza Horizon 4 and it looks amazing on ultra settings.

Update: after a few days it started screen tearing just watching movies or videos and I got random black screen and freezes. Sending it back. Tried changing drivers. Didn’t work. Reinstalled my old hd 7870 and it worked fine. No tears or black screens or freezes.

Update: Realized it’s a known issue with the AMD realize drivers. If you turn off freesync you won’t have screen tears watching videos.

The Sapphire Technology Radeon RX 570 has been stable and high quality.
I was initially nervous about purchasing this Radeon card, as I was looking to replace one from another vendors' Radeon graphic card, only to have it crap out on me after a month and their customer service be terrible enough to make just bite the cost to stop working them (Don't buy gigabyte products!).
Sapphire Technology's card has been reliable and while I haven't had to use it, I scoped out their customer service / warranty portal and it looks so much better than the other vendor that I actually trust them to do the right thing.

2019-07-03 UPDATE: Just returned item 11266-04-20G Radeon Pulse RX 570 4GB . Nothing but problems and AMD is a pain to work with . How are they allowed to send off drivers that are so crappy? No wonder AMD is cheaper. Going back to Nvidia!

Just bought this. Built a whole new computer using Ryzen 5 2600 + DDR4 3000 Ram and this video card. At 1st I began to have issue's with the screen. Black screen and at one time while testing a game (Skyrim of all things) there was a horrid screeching sound coming from headphones and screen just froze and crashed. At 1st I thought it had to be the card. But then suddenly the hdmi port would not send a signal (or at least I thought as there was no signal coming through) so I attached another HDMI cord and it worked fine. So thinking now it was the HDMI cord. But then why the horrid sound and system freeze? So I took everything apart and re-installed all component's thinking that perhaps something was not connected right. Discovered that the heat sink paste they put on the Ryzen cooler was a sloppy mess. So cleaned that up and now it all seems to be working well......except that last night while playing a game, a very quick, strange, green screen appeared. almost instant. then back to the game. I have been watching my temps and all is normal. At this point I have no clue what's causing this new glitch. I'm starting to think that the card is faulty and I also made a mistake in installing the other components (which was fixed I guess, as the only thing that looked out of normal was the paste on the cpu cooler which was probably what caused that horrid noise and system freeze as it was overheating). Oh and another thing. AMD drivers SUCK! I've had to clean uninstall and reinstall 3 different drivers just to get this thing to be stable. Their 2019 Adrenalin drivers are horrid. AMD seems, to everything I've read, have an idiotic driver process. Releasing drivers before they are fully tested.
And holy $%%^&^ if your planning on redeeming the games that come with this....A complete nightmare! Had to jump through 4 different hoops just to get somebody to respond to me who took all the info (+ a little blood) then proceeded to give me a link to redeem. hit link and it sends me to customer support and tells me I need to contact them and give them all the info I just gave them. FINALLY I get an email with an excuse and stating that all is well and games are ready to redeem. Soooo go to my account only to find out that in order to play each game I would need to install Uplay and Epic game launchers! UGH! No way at all am I installing those crapwear. So no games for me :( . I'm about ready to return this card and NEVER buy AMD products again. Should have just gone with easy and sane Nvidea.

I did more than extensive research before buying the RX 570. I could not wait any longer for the new RX video cards and the prices were jumping around to much so I landed this card for $129.00 . Yeah I could have gone with the 580 or 590 but I wanted to see what the new cards were going to bring and what they would cost. This was a great investment and I did not break the bank so I can get RX 5600. I play World of Warships on very high detail. No studder! No lag! very smooth and just simply amazing to look at. I sit with the computer literally 1 foot away and I don't hear it. I had to look at the fans to see if they were working and they were. On idle they are fine. I have 5 Deep Cool fans cooling my case and I 'm sure that helps a lot. Remember Sapphire equals good times. Go get 1!!!
