Aorus Radeon RX 570 review: The best graphics card you can buy under $200, barely changed
This Polaris refresh is more of a side-grade than an upgrade, but it's still the best option in its price class.

Ashes of the Singularity
Ashes of the Singularity, running on Oxide’s custom Nitrous engine, was an early standard-bearer for DirectX 12, and many months later it’s still the premier game for seeing what next-gen graphics technologies have to offer. The performance gains it offers with DX12 over DX11 can be eye-opening, though those gains tend to be more profound on Radeon cards.
We test the game using the High graphics setting, as the incredibly strenuous Crazy and Extreme presets aren’t reflective of real-world usage scenarios.
The patterns we’ve seen before play out the same here. It’s essentially a dead heat between the RX 470, RX 570, and 3GB EVGA GTX 1060, comparing the GeForce card’s DX11 results to the Radeon’s DX12.
