Radeon RX 580 8 GB Red Dragon

DDP2020 · Feb 7, 2018

Will the Radeon Rx 580 8gb Red dragon be able to run the monitor I have at its 2560x1440 resolution at its 144hz? That is all that I really plan to upgrade till the release of Intel’s 9 th gen cpu. Looking to run games like WWE 2K18 , 2k19 , 2K20 , so on of the WWE series , Titan Fall 2 , Sims 4 , GTA , MMOs like WOW , Runescape , Star Trek Online , DC universe online , Monster Hunter Online on this build.

An RX580 can certainly push 144Hz 1440p, but to achieve framerates appropriate for the monitor (ideally 144FPS), you're going to have to turn settings down on a lot of titles to nearer "low" presets.

So there is no AMD solution right now that can run my monitor at its full potential? Is it possible to use a Nvidia Video card with a Freesync monitor and get what i am looking for?

Unfortunately that seems to be the case since RX Vega 56 (supposed to be $399 at launch, and then $499) is so expensive right now.

I've been using a GTX 1070 with my 1080p 144Hz FreeSync monitor and it has worked good for me. I also have a 4K FreeSync monitor and it had screen tearing, but enabling Nvidia Fast Sync got rid of that.

But the GTX 1070 costs quite a bit more than it should right now.

Given the games you mentioned the RX 580 8GB should be a good choice I would think. The only demanding game you listed is GTA and maybe TitanFall 2.

Should i get the PowerColor Rx 580 Red Devil Gold or go with another version? My psu is a Cooler Master V850.

The Red Devil Gold should be a good card. I don't know much about it, but each manufacturer has different tiers of cards, and that one is in an upper tier.

850W is more than enough. You could run two of them.
