HIS leads their new cards with the Radeon RX 580 XTR IceQX2 Roaring Turbo, which is virtually identical to its RX 480-based predecessor - except that the refreshed RX 580 requires even more power. HIS has used a 6+8-pin PCIe power setup, thanks to the Polaris 20 XTR GPU sucking up so much power - something we went over in our review of the SAPPHIRE RX 580 Nitro+ and its high power consumption.

HIS has 4 different Radeon RX 580 graphics cards:

  • HIS RX 580 8GB XTR IceQX2 Roaring Turbo (1256/1430MHz)
  • HIS RX 580 8GB IceQX2 Turbo (1256/1405MHz)
  • HIS RX 580 8GB IceQX2 OC (1256/1366MHz)
  • HIS RX 580 4GB IceQX2 OC (1256/1366MHz)
  • HIS RX 570 4GB IceQX2 OC (1168/1264MHz)

Out of the 4 different RX 580 models, one of them has 4GB of RAM - and its clocked at 7GHz, compared to 8GHz on the RX 580 8GB models. The one and only RX 570 model has 4GB of GDDR5, also clocked at 7GHz.
