Radeon 11265-05-20G Pulse RX 580 8GB GDDR5 Dual HDMI/DVI-D/Dual DP OC with Backplate (UEFI) PCI-E Graphics Card Graphic Cards

Upgraded from a ASUS Strix R9 380. From a performance perspective, its works great, ~30%+ increase in performance. You can look at online comparisons on what type of performance to expect, and this met that. (playing BF1, Witcher 3, Warzone...) I have it paired with a AMD FX8350, 16GB RAM. Three things I want to point out: 1.) The unit arrived with a slightly bent bracket. Was able to use pliers to straighten it out, and amazon was quick to resolve it. Not sure if this is Amazon or Sapphire to blame. 2.) After I removed my old R9 380, placed new RX 580 GPU in, everything booted fine. I updated the drivers to the latest via Adrenal 2020 (not necessarily required). After rebooting, my wired LAN stopped working. Windows did not detect it anymore. Just disappeared. Not seen in Device Manager. Did a bunch of troubleshooting (reset CMOS, go back to old drivers etc) to no avail. Instead of wasting additional hours, I just decided to buy a new pciexpress LAN card ($15). I do not know if this directly tied to the new GPU install, or purely coincidental. As time permits I may investigate further. Just felt I had to share this info. **Update**: After thinking about this I am leaning towards this is purely coincidental. Fortunately ethernet ports are inexpensive. 3.) From the perspective of stability, I have had this installed for 3 days now, moderate gaming use, only had 2 errors requiring a reboot. This may be due to conflicting software (apparently running any parallel GPU software may pose problems) or games itself. Hard to say who is to "blame" for this right now. With my older GPU did not encounter this. For this I am knocking a star off for now. I will continue to monitor and update my review. UPDATE SEP 16 2020: Changing review from 4 to 5 stars. I have since upgraded my build to an AMD R5 3600. No issues when running its stock frequencies. If I use the built in Radeon "OC" feature to go to 1436mhz, I had some hiccups hear and there. I think its true, AMD cards are good for those who want to tinker around. I have no regrets with this card so far. UPDATE FEB 19 2021: I swapped out my 5+ yr old bronze rated evga power supply to a gold rated cooler master. I haven't had a single crash yet when doing the "automatic overclock" to 1436 (mostly playing COD Coldwar/warzone/Cod WW2. I'm pretty sure my old PSU was finally giving out as it was 5 yrs old (at this point I attribute my previous problems with that). Lesson learned: if you plan to do some overclock get a solid PSU. I am still very happy with this GPU! UPDATE JUL 19 2021: GPU is still going strong with no issues. UPDATE JAN 14 2022: GPU functioning great. Be mindful there is a GPU shortage crisis (COVID) since 2020-2022 and all prices are inflated. Not worth the inflated price. UPDATE JUN 20 2022: GPU is still rocking with no issues. I have decided to upgrade to a Sapphire Radeon Pulse 6600XT to get better (144fps, bought a 144hz display) FPS at 1080p. This RX580 was fantastic and still does phenomenal 75fps 1080p gameplay. I have no regrets purchasing it.

1. Out of the box into the mac - use a dual 6pin to 8pin adapter cable 2. boot up - screens are black until login screen appears. - No apple logo showing the boot process. 3. Login screen appears - log in 4. Open up Premiere Pro 2020 it sees metal GPU acceleration off you go! SIMPLE I replaced a really good nvidia Quadro K5000 which had 4GB Video ram and that card worked great in Premiere Pro 2019 with CUDA. That nvidia card - not so good with metal, actually awful with metal in 2019. Updated to Premiere pro 2020 and found out adobe discontinued CUDA sadly. I then tried Metal as the option for PP 2020 with the nivdia K5000 card and it actually worked better than it did in 2019 but I felt that it suffered a little. It lagged sometimes where it did not in 2019. Multi-cam edit seemed quirky too. For the low price of AMD I figured try out the AMD Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 580 after all it had to be better it was twice the VRAM. My nvida card cost about 5 times the price of this one, oddly, and still does. My nvidia card was a lot of work a few years ago, I had to download drivers then install cuda software…. On and on… Every security update meant downloading and install the latest cuda update… This AMD none of that nonsense. It just works. So you don’t get a Apple Boot Screen, I don’t care it’s a mac for crying out loud I can count on 0 fingers how many times I needed to go to recovery mode in 11 years. I came from windows 11 years ago and never looked back. Macs are just easy, everything about them is easy. Macs just work! If you get stuff that is certified for mac or get what apple recommends you have no issues. I use Carbon Copy Cloner to keep a backup boot drive so if the drive should fail I can pop in the clone and get back up in minutes minus any updates. I keep my clone updated for the most part so I can never see why I should need the startup screen with options or recovery mode. I don’t dual boot so I have no need for the option command. I use Parallels to boot up windows 7 inside the mac OS for times I need that, I never just boot strait into windows at power up. If I ever need options or recovery I’ll use my old card. When I upgrade I just do it from the OS, you know download install etc. My mac started with snow leopard and I have kept it updated, mostly, never doing a startup drive method, just download and install method in app store. This card works great in Premiere Pro 2020 better than my Nvidia K5000! Can I tell a performance gain?… yes . It takes Processors, RAM, SSD’s and a good GPU - to make a good editing performance machine. GPU is only part of the equation but is probably one of the most important. Backstory to why I choose to upgrade from a good video card to a good video card: For the number 1 reason PP2020 did not work all that great with nvidia. Number 2 I could not upgrade to Mojave with the nvidia card, ok it will upgrade but the problem was Premiere Pro 2020 on Mojave with the nvidia K5000 running metal was quirky, I mean quirky to the point it drove me nuts. Mojave has no built in drivers for nvidia which is why I presume. Their was no cuda or driver updates from nvidia and every time you booted I got an error message about it. I use a Blackmagic card that outputs my preview to a TV monitor, that was herkie jerky and the GPU affects that I guess. The computer display was smooth, kind of, but my preview monitor using Blackmagic was way to jerky to the point of maybe it was doing 10 frames a second. I Updated the Blackmagic card to the latest software to no avail, so that had nothing to do with it. It had to be nvidia. That was a deal breaker to go back down to High Serria. I don’t plan on updating to Mojave until adobe quits supporting high serria. But knowing I can now and that PP 2020 works better with the AMD was worth the changeover and for a small investment compared to nvidia costs.

For VR, I use an Oculus Rift CV1, and this GPU works fine with that. I'm coming from a GTX 1060. Motion-to-photon latency averages around 20ms. As far as I can tell, this GPU works fine with all the VR games I tried so far. I bought this GPU specifically because it has 2 HDMI ports, and I needed both (one for my regular display, and another for the Rift CV1). It has DisplayPort as well which I assume would work fine for any other VR headset. For 4K gaming, it works, but depending on the game, you'll need to drop some settings to reach higher framerates. Basically, no MSAA and lift the power limit to the max (30%), and you'll do pretty well with some games at 4K, and mostly everything at 1080p. I play Guild Wars 2 at 4K with mostly highest settings. I've played FFXIV also with mostly highest settings at 4K, along with WoW. Monster Hunter World I put to 1080p though, but use GPU scaling to up it to 4K; plays great. I had an issue with 3 different XFX Polaris GPUs (RX 560 and 2 580s) where doing 4K@60Hz over HDMI resulted in flickering until I made and used a CVT-RB resolution. This isn't an issue with this GPU though! I had thought that Polaris itself was defective or something, but it looks like it's GPU-dependent, and possibly something XFX is doing to make it broken. So to be clear, I can do 4K@60Hz over HDMI without issue with this GPU. I don't overclock, but I do make sure to increase the power limit to the max. The VBIOS that came with my GPU maxes at 30% (around 200W, but I've seen it occasionally go to around 219W). No problem, and it's a free hassle-free performance improvement! At the time of writing, AMD doesn't provide drivers for Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling with the latest Windows 10 2004 OS and this GPU (RX 580). It's unknown if they'll do it for Polaris/GCN. But even without that, latency overall is great, and just as-good as NVIDIA with VR. Works great on Linux as well. Forgot how nice it was to be able to just use the open-source graphics driver (I'm coming from a GTX 1060). No problems! Basically, it's a RX 580 that works better than what I've had from XFX, but also works great within expectations! After writing this review however, I noticed a few games would cause the display driver to crash after some time (usually after an hour or two). Looking a bit more into this, someone mentioned they had to increase their video memory voltage to fix the problem. I've done this (put the memory voltage to the max 1.2V) and it seems to have fixed the instability. So it's possible some GPUs come with a stock voltage that's a bit too low.

I had many problems getting this card to work, going so far as to get replacements for both the graphics card itself and the converter video cable for my monitor. I spoke with Amazon techs and a tech from the company. Finally I tried a new cable (cheaper than the converter) which provided a digital input to my monitor rather than converting through my old cable. Works fine now! Below see my earlier posts if you are having trouble. It isn't working. Installed today. Every time I reboot the screen flashes snow randomly and never shows. Had to reinstall my old card. I will update my review if I find the problem. But definately not plug and play for me. Update: I exchanged my order for another new card. The result is the same. It doesn't work on this mac. The second card acted the same as the first, which is 1 second of snow, followed by 5 or 10 seconds of on screen, over and over no matter how long I wait, or how often I reboot. One thing always happens several minutes into it: my desktop finally actually shows on the screen for about 2 seconds and then goes away never to be seen again. And it's greenish and weird, but encouraging for a moment. So I have to conclude that the problem is my computer and not the product. Just a warning to others since I have the mid- 2012 Mac Pro that this is supposed to be perfect for. I'm not sure what to do next.

After a ton of research and figuring what I should run for now and the near future I chose this RX 580. When gaming it does run around 158F-167F degrees. I have found that this is normal and still in spec with the manufacturer. I have no complaints with performance, noise level, visual looks or the hook ups. I can say that I haven't overclocked it yet since it already runs as hot as it does but with an AIO I'm sure that this would do a lot better. I chose this over the 5500XT due to price and performance. There wasn't enough improvement in performance to justify the difference in price. If I do upgrade it will be with a 5700XT. For now this does plenty for my needs as a gamer. Performance: This thing does great IMO but I'm not a hardcore gamer, just casual. Without being OC I easily get 60-85 FPS with setting being on Ultra with all games I play. Sometimes more but depending on what I am playing. Noise level: This thing runs silent and without OC it does run a little hot. I don't worry about it as the site says that it's in normal temp specs for the loads. Over all this is great and I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is building a budget gaming PC who wants the best bang for their buck.

This is a PC graphics card. It just happens to work well in a Mac Pro tower. If you get it for the Mac, you MUST buy a two-6 pin to 8 pin adapter cable. The card will NOT work without it. The two 6 pin connectors go to the logic board and the other end, the 8 pin connector, goes to the video card. I personally recommend connecting the cables to the logic board first, then install the video card, then connect the 8 pin connector to the video card. You will not see a boot screen (the Apple logo). Instead, the screen will appear on the log in screen or the Finder window. Because of this, keep your old video card handy in case you need to reinstall the operating system or boot from another device. Because this is a PC video card, do NOT expect instructions for the Mac. They aren’t there. No drivers are necessary for modern versions of Mac OS X including Mojave. Do not use the CD for anything but a drink coaster, or keep it around if you want to use this card in a PC one day. Once installed, it works beautifully. The card supports resolutions up to 8K! (Make sure your monitor is compatible!) Cinebench and Metal benchmarks give you results comparable to an Nvidia GeForce 1060, which ain’t bad. Metal is fully supported and everything just works. I purchased this card to replace the Nvidia 750Ti that was in the computer. Nvidia doesn’t have drivers for Mojave making many apps inoperable. This was a great upgrade for a 9 year old computer (Mac Pro 4,1 flashed to 5,1).

Performance: Improved performance 10-15% over previous EVGA NVIDIA 980Ti SC 6GB using the FCPX benchmark BruceX. Good enough for me. Value: good performance for the price Efficiency: Power requirements much welcomed. I used two 6-pin power connectors located on the main board to power the GPU with an adapter cable that combined the power into the single 8-pin power connector on the GPU. Adapter not included. No cables included. My former GPU required TWO power sources 6-pin and 8-pin (not accounting power thru the PCI-E slot). Former card had me tapping power from two SATA Connectors! (Yes, odd approach.) This new card frees up 2 drive sleds that I had to free up with the former GPU. Fixed bug: This new card also alleviated windowing issues (windows not refreshing correctly) after upgrading to High Sierra from Yosemite. Problem fixed with new card. Drivers: My former GPU used drivers that had to be updated via another Mac via Screen Sharing quite routinely whenever Apple releases an OS update/security update. Not no more inopportune black creeps with unsupported NVIDIA GPUs. Glad that is over. Mohave: This AMD GPU is on the “tested” list of cards for Mohave. Now unafraid of making the change to Mohave. Good stuff. Boot screen: You won’t see a boot screen tho’. Nothing new for the pre-2013 Mac Pro users.

The video card in my trusty Mac Pro 5.1 gave out and the only option looked to be in the $350+ range. After some reading I took a chance on this card and am happy to report it works fine out of the box with no extra software needed. I do have the black screen in lieu of the mac face when powering up that people mention but doesn't bother me. First, I mostly have it sleep instead of turning off and, more importantly, my startup drive is an SSD so the black screen is more of a blip on the way to the normal home/log in screen. My model is a mid 2010 Mac Pro 12 core running Sierra (OSX 10.12.6) with two Apple Cinema Displays, one 30” and one 23”. Install is super straightforward as most mods are with this with this machine though don’t forget the extra cable that you’ll need. COMeap Dual Mini 6 Pin to 8 Pin PCI Express Video Card Power Adapter Cable for Mac Pro Tower/Power Mac G5 15-inch(38cm) The only non-gushing thing that I would add is that moving from a 1GB card to an 8GB I expected some crazy difference in performance and can’t say that I really notice any. This machine is setup mostly for photo editing and regularly has 10-50 high resolution photos open in PS at the same time. The open/load time for these files and rendering thumbnails in Photo Mechanic don’t seem much if any faster. That said, I’m very grateful to keep this 10 year-old machine going a few years more before plunking down big money on a new model. Hope this helps.

Ero alla ricerca di una scheda per completare un pc per gaming occasionale e mi sono imbattuto su questa. Inizialmente, visto il prezzo, credevo sarebbe arrivata in condizioni ben peggiori, invece mi è stata inviata una scheda pulita, in buone condizioni e perfettamente funzionante. Sono presenti alcuni segni di usura e qualche graffio, ma la cosa è perfettamente normale soprattutto visto l'ottimo prezzo di acquisto. Ho testato la scheda sotto stress per ore ed è risultata silenziosa e con buone temperature. Un affare.

Llevo buen rato con esta gráfica, y estoy muy contento con los resultados, todos los juegos los corre a más de 60fps con todo en alto, solo a algunos tendrás que moverte un poco en las opciones de video, lo malo es que es un poco caliente, pero nada peligroso, solo que algunos exigentes podrían sentirse incómodos con eso, pero es muy buena gráfica, aunque por poco dinero extra puedes comprar la 590 que es mucho mejor, depende como la encuentres. Recomendada

This is the graphics card that Apple recommends for the Mac Pro (2009-2012). Native graphics drivers. However, there is no Apple EFI so you won’t get the Apple screen when you start with Option key pressed.
