Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a PC next year and I'm considering the RX 580 for my graphics card. My setup will likely include a 1440p monitor, but I don't game as much anymore, with the occasional Cities: Skylines session. I want to keep the options open for playing more demanding titles if I choose to. Also, I'm buying my parts in two phases, with the GPU and case fans being the last components I get. By the way, how do the integrated graphics perform on the Ryzen 5 7600? Here's a rundown of the rest of my build:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 6-Core
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M D3HP AX Micro ATX
- Memory: Crucial Pro 32 GB DDR5-5600
- Storage: TEAMGROUP MP33 1 TB NVME SSD
- Case: Deepcool CH260 MicroATX
- Power Supply: Deepcool PN650M 650 W
Total cost: $472.94

I mean, a 580 is a decent card if you're mainly playing older games like Cities: Skylines. It should handle that just fine, but if you plan to play anything more demanding or newer titles, it might not perform well at higher resolutions. You might want to check out YouTube benchmarks for the RX 580 running the games you're interested in, keeping your CPU in mind for better comparison. Also, drivers for the RX 580 are being phased out, so long-term support might be a concern.
Honestly, the RX 580 is a bit outdated for modern gaming at 1440p. It's roughly half the performance of cards like the RX 6600 XT, which handles 1080p games much better. If you’re looking to play newer games, you might struggle with the RX 580. It's more suited for older titles at 1080p, and that might not even work well for some demanding games at higher settings.
Yeah, I would say it's too slow for 1440p. Even a used GTX 1070 or a 1660 Ti would perform significantly better. If you're not gaming too much, maybe consider a more budget-friendly card for the occasional play session.
What games are you planning on playing if not much outside of Skylines? Just curious about your RAM choice too. Why 64 GB?
