I'm planning to buy a rx580 8GB. Does anyone have one playing post scriptum? What kind of performance am i to expect? Can it play 1080p with maximum settings?

You should probably wait another month until the new Nvidia cards come out, and see how much the current generation drops in price.

Yeah, I've been sitting on this buy for 2months lol another 3weeks won't matter much.

sry bad eng

i7 Devilz Canyon here @ 4.5 watercooled with 16g ram and SSD + 1070ti OC edition and i play this in 1440p with between 30- 49ich fps.

The game is right now badly optimized, No hiding from it but the devs are surely working on fixing it.But right now the cpu/Gfx have less to nothing impact on the game more so ram i think. Its the game that is badly optimized.Give it time :)

You can play easily on low/medium. Forget high

Yeh I play on low and it's still a blast and smooth af

I bought a rx580 8gb after replacing an old gtx 760 and the game runs quite well on high with some super sampling as well.

That is exactly my situation. Been looking at Vega 56/1080 price drops, soo still undecided. But getting 580 and wait for Navi is a real possibility.

I'm running with a borrowed 1050ti at 40 to 60 fps on medium 1080p, o I find that a bid odd... It's after the last update, before I had to run everything at low though.

i5 4670k @4.5ghz overclocked (water cooled) runs this thing awesome which is a socket 1150 z97. My mate has i5 4690k and it runs equally well on his machine. I think the i7 4770k recommendation was over-stated.

I have the gtx 1060 6gb which is pretty much equivalent to the rx580. I run avg med settings and even after a moderate overclock, my gpu runs at 100% utilization.

I have one, we got a similar system but it got a Ryzen 7, 2700x. Performance really differs with maps, than i can get 50/60 fps, than some unoptimized map can get me 30/40 fps.

luckynarOP•

On medium or high?

Im on High, distance shadows off but Ambient Occlusion on. Some maps are better optimized so i can turn distance shadows on. Also, the beta test for the upcoming patch showed new shaders giving some extra fps so that already is good news.

You will play on low anyway. You might have different opinion now but at some point you will get tired being shot from god knows where... then you turn off shadows and you realize that guy was next to you ALL THE TIME...

Do yourself a favor and buy an nVidia card dude.

Why would I buy a card that is worse in processing power and has a tax on screen sync technology? Or did you mean buy the new card, overpriced, because it has a technology that you can't use in it's estimated life? Yeah, no thank you.

Because you're wrong, they're better in every way. Well, except one, you can probably save some money buying the cheaper non nVidia cards (cheaper both in price and quality).

Except it's not. The 1060 has some "plus points" in using Ansel in selected games for fancy screenshots, and it can be found a little cheaper than the 580 however AMD's offering can use the cheaper Freesync and also has 2GBs of extra memory.

In the mid-end market AMD can still compete with nVidia cards, nVidia doesn't really get notably better until you hit the 1070 and up.

Except they are. Fanboys like you are the only reason AMD still exists. They don't even have an answer to the new line of nVidia cards yet, they literally aren't even in that game. Zero competition whatsoever. They better get moving quick.

It's build on UE4 - which is Nvidia's and Epic's love child. Anything built on UE4 runs worse on AMD than on comparative Nvidia's solution. That being said if you're upgrading in general and not specifically for this game, go on. Because RX580 is a really great card in it's budget range and secondly because fuck Nvidia.

Don’t buy that AMD card they’re out dated as hell. Wait for the new nvidia cards & then buy a gtx 1070.
