BIOSTAR Intros Radeon RX 580 8GB Dual Cooling Graphics Card

BIOSTAR introduced its first custom-design Radeon RX 580 graphics card, the RX 580 8 GB Dual Cooling (model: VA5805RV82). The company had announced its foray into AMD Radeon graphics cards with a reference-design RX 580, in April. The new RX 580 Dual Cooling combines an AMD-reference design PCB with a custom-design cooling solution. This cooler features an aluminium heatsink with a copper core over the GPU; ventilated by a pair of 80 mm fans, which stay off when the GPU is idling.

The card sticks to AMD reference clock speeds of 1257 MHz core, 1340 MHz boost, and 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. It features 8 GB of memory over a 256-bit wide memory interface. Based on the 14 nm "Lexa" (Polaris 20) silicon, the Radeon RX 580 features 2,304 stream processors, 144 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.0, and a dual-link DVI. The company didn't reveal pricing.

The secondary fan and alloy block seems unneeded, surely one larger fan would have sufficed.

Nah it's to cool the aluminum under it, it's pretty normal.

I'm curious if their first gpu will perform nicely or not, hope TPU gets their hands on it to test it.

It's just another RX 580 with different cooling. Clocks are also VERY conservative. Nothing really special about it.

Its not their first GPU btw.

I think this card's cooling is going to be terrible seeing it has zero heatpipes. Its basically a glorified stock heatsink with dual fans.

In this segment, the price is perhaps most important. However, we don't know it...

Biostar keeps the tradition of putting as little R&D in products as possible lately.
