The Biostar Radeon RX 580 is a graphics card aimed at users seeking a reliable and efficient solution for their gaming and video editing needs. Equipped with Polaris architecture, it features 8GB GDDR5 memory and 2048 stream processors, the Biostar Radeon RX 580 offers commendable performance at resolutions up to 1440p in a wide range of modern game titles.
Additionally, the card supports AMD FreeSync and Radeon Chill technologies, which enhance the user experience and reduce power consumption.
Polaris Architecture
Polaris is a new graphics architecture that incorporates exciting features and improvements for nearly every aspect of a graphics chip. Among these are increased performance levels, smooth VR performance, support for next-generation gaming displays, and vibrant game streaming without a processor.
AMD App Acceleration
Accelerates everyday applications such as web browsing and video playback. Also, the first technology to provide support for OpenCL, C++ AMP, and DirectCompute 11.
AMD PowerTune technology
Smart energy monitoring on AMD Radeon graphics to enable higher clock speeds and better performance in your favorite games.
AMD ZeroCore Power Technology
Allows AMD Radeon graphics to consume almost no power when in idle state. It even shuts down additional GPUs in AMD CrossFire technology mode to consume less power when not in use.
AMD FreeSync
Radeon FreeSync technology enhances gamers' lives by eliminating stuttering and tearing, allowing for a smoother gaming experience. By synchronizing the screen's refresh rate with the GPU's frame rate output, players will never have to worry about artifacts appearing when there is no active variable refresh rate.
AMD Eyefinity
AMD Eyefinity is a technology that allows the combination of two or more monitors to produce a single desktop surface. The screen resolution and the screen area of the single desktop surface are determined by the number of monitors and the way they are arranged in the Eyefinity group. For example, three 1920x1080 monitors placed in 3x1 AMD Eyefinity mode will produce a horizontal desktop with a combined resolution of 4096x2160.

The card is a good choice for so much money (120) The only thing that bothered me at first is that it made quite a bit of noise suddenly but generally quite good
The card, although a bit old, is complete for gaming at 1080p with good graphics (depending on the game) uses 70-100 watts in gaming, and if you allow it to draw more power, it can reach up to 130 watts. I have paired it with an R5 5600X and it performs very well (for example, Fortnite OG hits 300-400fps, Black Ops 3 ultra graphics 70-100fps (depending on the map), and it does quite well in many others but not for extreme gaming and difficult at 1440p. If you choose it, it's better to have a good processor from Ryzen 5000 and above. Anyway, don't expect too much else, but I recommend it for competitive games. It's better than the GTX 1650 and slightly worse than the GTX 1660 Ti Super. The 8GB of VRAM it has is enough for all games (watch videos on YouTube to understand more). The 2 fans it has only activate when the card reaches 59 degrees and stop again when it goes around 50 (it goes in a loop). Something extra [(Fortnite in DirectX 11 all epic reaches around 40 to 50fps, but if you set TSR high, it goes about 25 fps, which is reasonable. IN OG)].
The graphics card is good, I give it 3 stars because mine arrived defective and generally this specific chipset from Biostar is not the best, as various experts had told me. The return process was a journey...
The 2048sp refers to a downgraded version of the card, with its performance falling just below that of the rx 570. It seems like an economical choice but is not worth the money
