Hi all, hope you are well!

So I would just like to find out from you what the differences is between these three cards as I am unsure and don't know enough about PC hardware to help myself.

1. GIGABYTE ATi RADEON RX 580 8GB DDR5 (GV-RX580GAMING-8GD-MI)
Price: R3100 (about 210 USD)

2. GIGABYTE AMD RX 580 GAMING 8192MB GRAPHICS CARD (GV-RX580GAMING-8GD)
Price: R4000 (about 275 USD)

3. Asus rX580 8G Dual fan Oc (DUAL-RX580-O8G)
Price: R6300 (about 430 USD)

So as you can see there is quite a big price difference between these three cards, I would just like to know why the price gap is so big because as far as I can see the specs on these cards are very similar.

Unless I am missing something like (notice the MI in the serial number GV-RX580GAMING-8GD-MI, maybe that means it is not as good a card compared to the GV-RX580GAMING-8GD? My mind is set between these two, the only reason I put the Asus in is cause a friend offered me a used one for about 170USD. (Should I even consider it? I am very sceptical on used products)
 
Solution
I would go with the cheaper of the 3. The CPU inside the cards are all made by AMD. All you are paying for is factory overclocks and different cooling. The cooling performance will be the same for all of those cards. The Gigabyte (MI) card does not have as big of a factory overclock as the other gigabyte card, but you can achieve that same OC in about 10 minutes when you get the card at home. Definitely not worth the extra cost.

They are all the same, get the cheapest.
