Graphics card BIOSTAR Radeon RX 580 8 GB GDDR5, 256-bit, 1150 MHz, PCIe x16, 2x fans

The BIOSTAR Radeon RX 580 8 GB GDDR5 is a discrete graphics card based on the AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU (2048 stream processors) with a core frequency of 1150 MHz. It includes 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit memory bus, supports PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface and DirectX 12.0, and provides DVI-D, DisplayPort and HDMI outputs. The card uses an active cooling solution with dual heatpipes and dual fans to maintain stable performance during gaming and graphics-intensive workloads.

Advantages

The card combines a mid-range Radeon RX 580 GPU with 8 GB GDDR5 memory and a 256-bit bus to deliver balanced performance for 1080p gaming and multimedia tasks. BIOSTAR’s dual-heatpipe cooler with two fans offers improved heat dissipation compared with single-fan designs. The card supports Radeon FreeSync, Vulkan and DirectX 12 optimizations, and is compatible with AMD XConnect and HDR-ready displays, providing broader compatibility with modern displays and APIs.
