*This review has been updated on 21/04/2019*
MSI has sent us one of the renditions of the RX 570 for a product review: the MSI RX 570 ARMOR 8G OC. This bill of fare has a cadre clock of 1268MHz, a whopping 8GB GDDR5 retentivity, 256bit memory bus and memory clock speeds of 7000MHz.
It features the classic black and white design of MSI's ARMOR line up of graphics cards which is inspired by armor shielding. Nosotros personally are fans of black and white themed PC components and this graphics card's blueprint will complement such color scheme.
The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the tweaked version of the RX 470 and nonetheless uses the same Polaris compages of AMD'southward high end gaming graphics cards.
It is more "refined and evolved" as AMD defines it and compared to the RX 470, the Radeon RX 570 has a ane,168MHz base of operations and ane,244MHz boost clock, a mild increment from the Radeon RX 470'due south 1,206MHz maximum clock. It's a significant jump in base clocks, and that extra power also increased it'due south TDP (thermal design ability) from 120W to 150W. The MSI RX 570 ARMOR 8G OC is overclocked a little much higher.
Packaging
MSI packaged this graphics card in a box with the distinct ARMOR branding in the front and the usual product specifications behind the box.
The package comes with the graphics card itself, the usual paperwork like the "Give thanks you" card and user's manual, a driver CD, a few MSI stickers, and a really cool "Lucky the dragon estimator workshop" comic booklet.
Overview
This MSI RX 570 ARMOR 8G OC is equipped with a huge heatsink with nickel plated copper heat pipes and two MSI TORX fans which provided first-class cooling performance. A notable characteristic of MSI graphics cards is the ZER0 FROZR feature which eliminates fan dissonance by literally stopping the fans in low-load situations. When idle, the GPU temperature is effectually 33°C-35°C. During well-nigh of our gaming tests, the graphics card was kept at pretty decent temperatures ranging between sixty°C-65°C, with the scorching ambient temperature of 35°C. Unfortunately, the fans are very loud when set to 100%.
A generous amount of video outputs are provided: 1x HDMI, 1x DVI-D, 3x DisplayPorts. You can have a maximum of 5 displays utilizing AMD'southward Eyefinity technology.
This menu also supports other AMD Radeon exclusive features such equally FreeSync 2, AMD LiquidVR technology, Radeon Arctic, and the unabridged Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition suite, and AMD Crossfire (2-way bridgeless)
A single viii-pin PCIe power connexion is required and it is recommended to utilize at least a 450w power supply.
The entire bill of fare's dimensions are 246 x 130 x 39 mm and weighs around 622 g.

- Can exist pretty quiet and doesn't get hot right abroad.
- the white and blackness GPU shroud is unique
- Good overclocker
Cons
- Fans are noisy when at 100% so we don't recommend setting the fan speed too high.
