Verdict

Our verdict on the RX 570X

A GCN 4.0 card from 2018 that runs cool but was outclassed by cheaper Nvidia options on day one.

Get it if you need a dirt-cheap card for older games at 1080p and don't mind loud fans. Skip it if you want to play anything modern or demanding, as even a cheap used card from a few years back will run circles around it.

Buy it if…

  • You want to play older games at high settings on a budget.
  • You need a cheap upgrade from an ancient card like the GTX 960.
  • You are building a low-cost PC for 1080p esports titles.
