Complete RX 570 Comparison and Ratings


The AMD RX 570 graphics card is currently the top pick graphics card available in terms of hash per purchase price.




All RX 570's have been proven to produce generally the same hashrates as their counterparts. You'll see that some cards have higher clock speeds than others - meaning that individual card has been factory-tested and guaranteed to be able to handle at least the listed OC setting. Depending on the "silicon lottery" some individual cards are capable of stably handling much higher OC settings. Unfortunately there is no way to investigate which ones are best until you take them out of the box and test for yourself.
 
  • Want better airflow and a quieter rig? Opt for a large form factor, more fans, and a non-standard cooling style.
  • More required power connectors simply means more headaches.
  • Memory (4GB vs 8GB) does make a miniscule difference in hashrate on some algorithms.
