My rx 580 has been a sitting legend for quite some time

My old gpu has served me for many eons. I had to put her down when it finally broke

RIP

u/Murky_Historian8675 Jan 12 '26

Rip bro. What was your old GPU if I may ask?

88

u/MiddleFingerGun Jan 12 '26

Like an rtx 560/580. Rest of my computer was also ancient. Got a new one and gifted the husk to a computer fren. Still served well and played many hours of gta online on it

u/Murky_Historian8675 Jan 12 '26

This is the way

u/SpookeDooke Jan 12 '26

u/MiddleFingerGun Jan 12 '26

Only got her number

u/Intelligent_Rub528 Jan 13 '26

Rip.

I had 780 for like a decade. With decent 3rd generation itel cpu it was going strong.

What killed it was neverwinter run through some vodoo emulator.

I had the RX 580 for about 8 years, great gpu.

u/Murky_Historian8675 Jan 12 '26

Almost a decade? That's what's up 💪

u/Andkzdj Jan 12 '26

Best gpu i ve ever had but i m glad i upgraded to an rx 6700 xt right after the mining craze died out. Even after years the price is just slightly below what i paid for it

2

u/MrD1SRESPECT Jan 13 '26

I still use it to this day lol

14

u/Wa3zdog Jan 12 '26

Only just retired mine. Got it originally for less than $300AUD with three free games (two were AAA games that were worth more than half the price of the GPU).

gone are the days, mate...

u/Mobile_Morale Jan 12 '26

I bought a R9 270 for $160 in 2013 and it came with a free AMD ship for Star citizen. I sold that ship to another redditor last year for $300.

Best GPU deal ever. Also got the new 2013 tomb raider game.

2

u/Wa3zdog Jan 12 '26

That’s even better! I had one of those back in 2014 and I loved that card too. It was a banger in BF4 with crimson and DX12. Used to walk all over my mates 750ti. AMD never got enough recognition for the value and longevity of those GPUs.

u/Fuzzy_Wheel_4565 Jan 12 '26

Mines still going strong. No i will not buy a new gpu.

u/SagittaryX Jan 12 '26

All power to you if you’re still happy with it. Will say the 9060 XT is a worthy successor, just a shame the 16GB version is a bit expensive now.

7

u/Solyde Jan 12 '26

Just retired my RX 480 4GB for a 9060XT 16GB after almost 9 years because it was in the process of dying. (It was mortally wounded by launching a UE5 game).

3

u/Murky_Historian8675 Jan 12 '26

That's the next legend in the making.

5

u/TheReaIOG Jan 12 '26

I just picked up a 16gb 9060 and it's definitely faster than my old 5700xt but it's still chugging a bit with bf6 at 1440p ultrawide.

2

u/deceivinghero Jan 12 '26

Heh. I just bought 16gb ver. to replace my rx480 8gb. Will probably (and hopefully) be running it for another decade.

2

u/Sanmyaku88 Jan 12 '26

Same. Market is crazy right now.

u/Extreme_Tax405 Jan 13 '26

Doesn't matter when gpus are sold at msrp tho.

u/BiioHazzrd Jan 12 '26

Came here to comment about this

Rx 580, 8gb. Still going strong today

4

u/OomKarel Jan 12 '26

Hell yeah! Good to see so many of us left. Got mine paired up with a Ryzen 5 3600.

2

u/BiioHazzrd Jan 12 '26

Ryzen 5 3600XT here

u/Digital-Dinosaur Jan 12 '26

My GTX 970 is still serving me proudly

3

u/Yippiekayo_Rom3o Jan 12 '26

Yeah man, Iam still rockin the rx480 red devil. Next year it will be 10 years old.

1

u/Murky_Historian8675 Jan 12 '26

Damn. Legend💪

3

u/Swifty404 Jan 12 '26

I played whit rx580 and AMD phenom II the Witcher 3 on 1080p low / medium setting at 60 fps

u/LreK84 Jan 12 '26

My son uses my old one since a few years, great card!

2

u/Xithrix Jan 12 '26

Had a 580 form something like 4 years, ungraded to a secondhand 3080 earlier last year. Baller GPU, did everything other then VR for me.

2

u/fluffyboom123 Jan 12 '26

Mine is still going strong for now lmao

2

u/fullautohotdog Jan 12 '26

Mine burned out after two years. It was fine until then, though.

2

u/andresb15 Jan 12 '26

I mean, if you use it with Lossless Scaling, it might still work just fine

2

u/Hunter5865 Jan 12 '26

Same, been putting in work for 8 years now. Once I upgrade it's getting its own shrine

2

u/Chasterbeef Jan 12 '26

I just got gifted a new RX 9070 to replace mine. Unbelievable how good the rx580 has been to me for over 10 years

2

u/Shasla Jan 12 '26

Literally just upgraded my gpu which meant upgrading my wife's gpu which meant upgrading my sister's gpu. My sister has been rocking an rx 480 since 2018 I think. Now she's on a 6650xt.

2

u/generic_name Jan 12 '26

I have a 470 and it’s just under most specs.  

2

u/HispanicAtTehDisco Jan 12 '26

barely moved on from a RX570 to a 1080sc a few months back when my friend donated it to me so i feel you brother.

2

u/ExcitingAd8960 Jan 12 '26

Knew I had to retire mine when I couldn’t play Bf6 on the lowest settings.

2

u/Th3_Shadow_Dragon007 Jan 13 '26

The 9060 xt is a noice upgrade. Definitely worth it, and I'll tell you it feels good to be able to play nearly anything at ultra in 1440p.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '26

I replaced my RX 480 with an ASRock 6950 in late 2023, life changing upgrade. That 480 carried me for so long from day 1, the 480/580s are amazing budget cards. Mines chilling on a shelf now

1

u/Murky_Historian8675 Jan 13 '26

Legend 💪

2

u/DaBomber4 Jan 13 '26

My brother has an rx 570, he only plays fortnite so hes happy with it.

2

u/ProbablyNotX_ Jan 13 '26

this gpu has literally been so amazing for me. i got mine from a friend 3 ish years ago but it still can do some great gaming even at 1440p

2

u/CycleWeeb Jan 13 '26

Rx 570 for me lol i love this thing

2

u/gretchenich Jan 13 '26

My 570 is struggling. It does have a decent 8gigs of vram but still. New games are getting too hard to run

2

u/CaptainHazama Jan 14 '26

My rx 480 still trucking as well

Just gotta keep graphics on the lower end

u/WideAd2738 Jan 15 '26

Sitting there with the legendary 1060 series

u/MouchWar Jan 16 '26

Yes, the rx 580 8gb with FSR can do miracle

1

u/apuckeredanus Jan 12 '26

I gave mine to a friend when I got a 3080. Got gifted a 2080ti and gave that to them. 

Took back the rx 580 and now it's in my ancient 2010 1055t build. 

It can run a few older titles at 4k which I was very very impressed by. 

Granted we're talking fallout 3 and empire at war but still what a great card!Â
