Sapphire's 8GB RX 580 Pulse offers a decent overclock and a solid custom cooling solution for just $10 over AMD's baseline price. Definitely buy it over a reference card.

- Attractive, well-designed custom cooler
- Same price as reference cards
Cons
- Solid affordable card, but few extras

Sapphire's Radeon RX 570 Pulse is a well-designed graphics card, but its price puts it in an awkward spot between cheaper RX 570 cards and the more potent Radeon RX 580.
Pros
- Superb 1080p gaming performance
- Attractive, efficient custom cooler
- Low temperatures under load
Cons
- Inching close to 4GB RX 480 price
- Nvidia cards are much more power efficient
