Virtual reality within range

The impressive and absorbing experiences of this year's virtual reality (VR), has so far been the prerogative of precious high-end cards. With the Radeon RX 580 model, AMD aims to get as many customers as possible with this technology, and thanks to a favorable price tag, AMD can do it. The GPU itself is powered by a 4GB GDDR5 memory. By computing more than 5 TFLOPS, this piece can be equal to Pascal's competing NVIDIA chips, but they are twice as expensive.

Leading both in resolution and frame rates

Connector equipment does not boast of modern architecture. In addition to the upgraded HDMI 2.0b port featuring 4K at 60 frames per second, you will find two DisplayPort connectors in the 1.4 version. The enhanced interface can handle up to 5K ( 5,120 × 2,880 pixels) or 8K ( 7,680 × 4,320 pixels) at 60 frames per second. There is also the Freesync support for smooth image and HDR for great color results. The Polaris architecture also takes H.265 acceleration to its hips to 4K resolution and even at 60 frames per second .
