Well, after about 3 years of use, I believe it's time to write about the strengths of this card. First of all, it was purchased to replace a GTX 1050 Ti that burned out from the usage I put it through (4K Rendering / Blender / Source Filmmaker) shortly after the 2021 Crypto Crash at €182. Yes, it was about 4 years old when I got the card, but I didn't have many options.

This particular version is huge, but it fit comfortably in my Cougar Panzer Max case.

For the next few years, the card did exactly what I wanted and more. The rendering times for 4K rendering in Source Filmmaker decreased and it didn't struggle as much. I didn't have any issues with Blender because I haven't done any image rendering there, only 3D models. Again, no problems there.

Although I no longer play games that are released in our time (Sorry, but I'm stuck in the past), I can give you an idea of the following:
Cyberpunk 2077 - High / 1080p - 47FPS AVG
God of War - High / 1080p - 37FPS AVG
In older games:
Team Fortress 2 - Ultra Config / 1080p - 76FPS avg (Note that this was played at 5760x1080p, meaning a game on 3 monitors with AMD Eyefinity, so the card did struggle here.)
Skyrim SSE - Skyland AIO / 1440p - 36FPS avg
Madness Project Nexus - Ultra / 1440p - 65FPS avg

Now, as it is, I haven't encountered any issues with temperatures or any other technical problems. This review is not meant to help someone make a purchase, as it is outdated now.

A great value for €180. A flagship in 2017 and a strong, albeit aging, dog in 2023...

Hahahaha, I bought it in 2018 for 380 euros and now it costs 730. Obviously, no one should buy it at this price. I would say its value is now around 280 euros. I can play all the new games on ultra settings and it can maintain a stable 60fps at 1080p. However, it is clearly an old card that I wouldn't recommend to someone building a PC for the future. If you have low requirements and play old games, it will run them extremely well. It can still handle current games nicely.

I have overclocked the card myself with a stable build that has been tested on around 20 games. It never goes above 76 degrees Celsius. The only downside is that with the settings needed for overclocking, it sounds like an electric vacuum cleaner. It doesn't bother me at all to have a Domesticated F-16 on my desk, but it might be a problem for others.

Here are some examples of the games I play on a daily basis:

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider: Average - 58fps max settings 1080p
Valorant: Average - 200 fps max settings 1080p
CS-GO: Average - 140fps max settings 1080p
For Honor: Stable 60 fps max settings v-sync 1080p
Escape from Tarkov: Stable 60 fps max settings 1080p
Fallout 4 (very very heavily modded): Average 52-60 fps max settings (4k-8k assets, enb modified, post process shaders)
Rainbow Six Siege: Stable 144 fps v-sync max settings 1080p
AC Valhalla: Stable 60 fps v-sync max settings 1080p
Apex Legends: Stable 60 fps v-sync max settings 1080p (It can go higher, but I locked it at 60)
Destiny 2: Stable 60 fps v-sync max settings 1080p

Basically, as long as you don't mind going above 1080p, this card can handle max settings. Occasionally, I lower some shadows or particles if I see it struggling

It is a very honest and value-for-money card.... for a price under 200 euros. For 2018. What is happening right now (early 2021) is outrageous. It is almost reaching 300 euros (Note: I see that it has now reached 500, which exceeds the limits of greed!)! Just like other newer cards that have increased by 300 and 500 euros above their starting price!

I bought it in 2018 for 230 euros and it was already relatively expensive.

Under no circumstances should you buy this specific card or any other with these price increases, unless you have an ABSOLUTE need. Unfortunately, you have to be patient for the prices to return to normal.

However, the 3 stars are not for the price, but for the fact that it often gives me green screens when I start up the computer and requires a reset. It may be something related to the HDMI and maybe the fact that I use a 5-meter cable (which still doesn't justify it). But once we get past this stage, it works fine.

Even in 2021, it can play most games at 1080P on high-medium settings with 50-60 fps, some lighter or optimized ones at 1440p with 50-60 fps (e.g. Death Stranding, Doom Eternal, Resident Evil 7, 2, 3), and if you're enthusiasts, you can even play some light RPGs at 4k with 25-30 fps.

The RX 580 is one of the most value-for-money middle-range (if not the best) chips in its category in recent years. However, its lifecycle is gradually coming to an end, and if you are looking for a middle-high range category, I would recommend going for the RX 5600 or even 5700 (the 5500 is almost the same as the RX 580), if they hadn't reached prices of 600+ euros!

****A small observation for those who complain that the card makes noise, increases temperature, etc. Somewhere I read that these AMD cards come out with a slightly higher voltage than necessary, which is why they also increase temperatures. Having experimented myself with overclocking and voltages, I found that it also increases high temperatures (80+ C), but it also has to lower its clock speed when this happens while playing, even below its normal speed of 1366 MHz, in order to reduce the temperature. The temperature depends on the power the card is receiving in combination with the clock speed it has at that moment. The solution to this is surprisingly UNDERVOLT! With a small undervolt of around (minus) 35-37 mV in Afterburner, the card is stable, has better temperatures, so it doesn't need to lower its clock speed, remaining at its normal speed, and it can even undergo a small overclock! Yes, overclock with undervolt, although I don't recommend it, as I believe the difference is barely noticeable (at most 2-3 fps). At the same time, I left the fans on auto and also found that it doesn't significantly change the temperature, and the system can play silently!

Well, I'm giving 2 stars because this card, from what I have read and searched online, comes with a factory problem. From the moment I bought it, it had a known issue called black screen flickering or blinking. I searched everywhere, even called the store to give me another one, and they told me it was a driver issue. I changed the driver they told me to from the store. The problem was temporarily solved, but after some time, it started flickering again. Essentially, my screen was flickering. They told me it could be the power supply, so I changed the power supply. Then I read somewhere that it could be the motherboard because mine was a bit old and had PCIE 2.0, which could be providing less power and causing these issues. Recently, I also changed the motherboard to have PCIE 3.0, but unfortunately, the problem continued. On the internet, there are many theories. Many say that if you lower the performance through MSI AFTERBURNER or AMD's application, the problem is fixed. I did it through MSI Afterburner, and the problem decreased significantly. But recently, I saw a video that shows that this problem is mechanical, meaning that when the card heats up, it expands, causing it to lift a few millimeters and not make contact with the pads. This seemed to me the most logical explanation because no matter how much I searched, everyone said it happened to them at high temperatures. Based on what I read, reducing the performance and the temperature of my card seemed the most logical explanation. Sorry for the long post, but these were and unfortunately are my experiences with this card. If anyone has a solution, please contact me so I can finally play a game. Thank you!

>>EDIT: Well, I wanted to inform you that I bought a new ASUS VG259QR 24.5' 165Hz 1ms monitor. Since then, at least through the display port that I tested, the problem did not appear. My previous monitor did not have a 100% problem because it worked fine with the previous card, and I also sold it to an acquaintance and warned him about the problem it has. However, he told me that he did not experience anything, so I don't know what could be the issue. I had also downloaded drivers for the monitor, and it could be the HDMI port of the card. I haven't tried it yet with HDMI, fearing that the ordeal will start again, so I left it as it is. So, I would say to avoid the Dell SE2717H 75hz FreeSync with this card!

After about 1 year of use, I have to say the following:
From the beginning until now, I had no problem with games etc. Temperatures are low and everything is generally good. However, the backplate is missing, resulting in it being almost completely filled with dust. The worst part is that because, no matter what, inside the case it has a higher temperature, and without a backplate for support, the PCB can slightly bend downwards, more intensely in the corner that has no support at all. When I realized this, I put a pencil to hold it in that corner :P
I would not recommend anyone to get the MSI at the moment since there are other equally good companies (XFX) that make it, have a backplate, and are 20 euros cheaper. Also, the new gtx 1650 super/rx 5500 xt are a bit more expensive but I would recommend them more easily in this price range.
However, for the year that I have it, I am quite satisfied with its performance.

Update January 2021:
I no longer have the card in my daily system and I changed it for a 5600xt, but I wanted to comment on the price. Anything over 220 euros is a joke for any implementation of rx 580. Patience until bitcoin drops :/

Since I see that there aren't many reviews, I will write one.

If you plan to stay at 1080p for the next 2-3 years, get it now. It's worth more than 200 euros but less than 250 euros. (2018)

Also, it can handle some games at 4K resolution @ 60FPS, and most games at 4K@30FPS. It's the same or better than a PS4 Pro.

I don't see a reason to go for a GTX 1060 6GB, unless you want better temperatures, if you live in Rhodes for example. In terms of FPS, the RX580 is superior everywhere, and it's also CROSSFIRE capable, if you get a cheap second-hand one later.

MY SYSTEM:
GIGABYTE Z97 Gaming 3
i5 4690K
8gb DDR3 1866Mhz
MSI RX580 8gb Armor OC
Thermaltake 600W
SSD 500 GB

The card easily runs the following games at 60FPS@1080p (without AntiAliasing, with FXAA):

-Division 2 (Alpha version) & 1440p
-Rainbow 6 Siege (Ultra) & 1440p
-GTA V (Very High)
-Witcher 3 (Ultra)
-Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Very high)
-Hitman (Very High)
-Battlefield 1 (Ultra) & 1440p
-COD WW2 (Ultra)
-Overwatch (Ultra) & 4K
-Assasins Creed Oddysey (High-Very High ~60 FPS) & 1440p (45 FPS)
-Far Cry 5 (Very High) + 1440p
-FIFA 19 (Ultra) + 4K!
-For Honor (Ultra)
-Dirt 4 (Ultra) + 4K!
-Fallout 4 (Very High)

TEMPERATURES
Idle: 35deg (Room temperature 20deg) @ Fans: 0-15%
Gaming: 70-80deg MAX (Room temperature 20deg) @ Fans: 30-60%

\\ The fans make minimal noise at 0-40%. From 40 and above, they make noticeable and annoying noise at 70+ //

UPDATE 06/2019: Occasionally, a small overclock with MSI Afterburner is needed to prevent FPS drops to 55-58, but also to keep the noise low. A 5% increase in GPU & VRAM maintains 60FPS in all the games I play. I also recommend setting the fans to 50%, especially in the summer. Temperature at full load is around 65-70 degrees, at the end of June. It's not bad at all, after all.

UPDATE 12/2019: Guys, maybe you know this, and some others do too. After months of driver updates & W10 updates, it's worth reinstalling the drivers from scratch (maybe even do a format if you feel like it). With a DDU reinstall of the latest AMD drivers, my card now gives me 60FPS in EVERYTHING, on Ultra & Very High settings. I saw a huge difference mainly in the stability of 60FPS.

The RX580 still kills the 2019 AAA games, with a 4th Gen i5 and 8GB RAM. Call of Duty MW 2019, all HIGH @ 60FPS constantly.

ANOTHER UPDATE: After buying a 1440p 144hz monitor (AOC 27"), the party got wild for the RX580. Let me tell you, with 80% render resolution, it still plays CoD.MW on high settings at around 90FPS @ 1440p! The same goes for R6Siege. Personally, I find the golden ratio with under-rendering, as it only affects the textures and not the overall sharpness and quality. This beastly 580 still chews iron, unbelievable. I didn't expect it to perform like this at 144hz & 1440p.

OK, last UPDATE, 3/2022: I casually installed CyberPunk 2077 (and even installed it on NAS for fun, not even on an SSD). We're talking about a game with a bad reputation for optimization. Well, on Medium settings, it gets 79FPS avg @ 1440p with Fidelity set to Balanced and Vsync OFF. I thought it was a joke, the benchmark was fooling me, but when I actually played the game, it was buttery smooth. We're not okay. Also, CoD Vanguard at 1440p @ 0.80 render on Medium easily and consistently gets 90FPS on all maps. This card is unreal.
