Wondering how the 4gb version will compare to the 4gb RX580 I have sitting in a box somewhere.

I get we need entry level cards, but 4gb?

Pretty sure this will go into the waste of silicon territory.

Once they factor in the Time Machine to transport this video card 15 years into the past, it should be quite the deal!

It would be perfect to replace the failing Radeon 6970M video card in my 14 year-old Plex server (3 10 year-old Seagate EXOS dives included)! The only problem is that my entire 14 year-old Plex server is only worth about half the price of this video card, and I already have 8GB of VRAM!

Soooo… why would anyone buy this?
