Personally, I will keep campaigning for the metal design used with the 7000 series cards to come back but with a black finish. People seem to favor a clean look or flashy with RGB lighting but this design doesn’t go either direction. Now aesthetics is a preference but I suspect that this new look isn’t going to be popular. The rest of the fan shroud has octagon shapes around the fans with what look like steps, not what I would like but it really isn’t until I get to the fake carbon fiber finish that I really wasn’t digging things. I hate to not have them because I think that was a cool feature but I do understand when cooling in the biggest priority. First, the removable fans aren’t here, they went with a larger 100mm fan over the 90mm fan of the hard swap fan design. To improve the cooling for the GTS though they made a few changes. XFX in the past has had some of the best looking cards but I do feel like they have regressed, but even last years design that can still be found on some of the RX580’s isn’t too bad with an all blacked out look and the removable fans. So as I mentioned before, XF did change up their look this time around and I’m not especially a big fan of the new look. It sits in a cardboard cutout and comes wrapped up in a static protective bag.

Under all of that is a paper explaining how to get drivers and another with information on how to use AMDs Wattman to overclock your card.

When you dig into the box you will find a thin box up with, inside is a driver disc and a dual 6-pin to 8-pin adapter in all black. There are a few normal AMD features listed but that’s about it. The back of the box doesn’t have much going on though, just three boxes with information on the load sensing fans, the heatpipes, and the fan blade design. The background also has a photo of the card floating, I’ve said it a hundred times, I love seeing pictures of the product on the box over other artwork, no matter how good it is. Up top is the XFX logo then in the middle of the red stripe they have the standard Radeon RX580 8GB branding. XFX kept most of the packaging the same with their mostly black background and the red stripe across the front. Beyond that you can also see the firmware revision I tested with and the launch press beta driver I tested with as well. I also take a look at the GPUz to confirm that the XFX RX580 GTS has the 1405MHz clock speed that is promised and as you can see below it does.

I’m excited to see how that looks and how it performs. XFX kept their old cooler design on some of their cards, but for their flagship the GTS they went a completely new design. So today I’m going to check out a second card and see how much they ended squeezing out of the card and what they had to do to keep things cool and quiet. With that in mind, all of the aftermarket cards have to up their game to keep things cool. With the official RX 500 series launch, we learned that the new 500 series cards are hopped up versions of the 400 series of cards.
