Just about to pull the trigger on MSI AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB ARMOR...?

[couture]

Was holding out for a new batch of six sapphire nitro+ RX570 but the stock replenishment date 'moved' from the 12th June to the 4th July.... -_-

So with this in mind.. I might instead buy six MSI AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB ARMOR OC Graphics Cards...

Does anyone have any experience with these? Glowing reviews? Warnings? Etc etc?


I'm guessing their just fine and will be largely the same as the sapphires?

Thought most appreciated

To be honest man, at this point just get whatever you can get your hands on.

The MSI Armor is the basic no-frills piece from MSI. No backplate, aluminum heat pipes and a open frame dual-fan design. The cards tend to run hotter than other 570's and it probably has cheaper VRAM, but it should work about the same as other 4GB 570's, ~27 - ~28 MH/s on ETH.

Any guide to getting that hash? I have Sapphire Red Dragon RX 570 that only do 21

Sapphire doesn't make a Red Dragon RX 570 card, that is a Powercolor RX 570. You have to mod the the memory timings in the bios and overclock the memory to ~1900 MHz. That should get you to ~27 - 29 MH/s depending on the card an the memory brand it uses. The Powercolor Red Dragon RX 570's 4GB can get to ~29 MH/s with a memory timing mod.

Yes sorry you're absolutely right, I was looking at the wrong boxes - too many GPUs in my room lol

They use Hynix RAM so it'll be on the lower end. But thanks for the tip!!! Will tweak it

I have MSI armor 8gb cards and my only complaint is they run HOT. Just as hot as my red devils... Honestly the best cards are the nitro+, that's why I have 20
