I tried a Gigabyte RX580 & RX560. The screen looks great but games and videos are a mess! AMD/ATI makes drivers for the cards but they make it even worse! If you're not going to be watching movies or playing games you are fine with the stock "Mesa" drivers installed on a Ubuntu/Xubuntu install. If you try to play any game or watch netflix you are going to be in LAG FRAME RATE HELL!What sucks for me I just got rid of all my best Nvidia cards. :( The system, videos, games all run fine on a little EVGA GTX 1050 SC 2 gigs. :( Pop in a 4 gig RX 560 or a 8 gig RX 580 and it runs horrible. And runs even worse once you install the AMDGPU Pro drivers.I tried Xubuntu 16.04.2 which I use with an EVGA RTX 2080 TI Ultra XC! Some people believe it's the older version on Xubuntu/Ubuntu that is the problem. It doesn't support NEW VIDEO CARDS... less

Well I have been GREEN for about 20 years! I have bought a few ATI cards over the years but was never happy with them until now the RX 580 cards are great! And guess what they run at the speed you set NO THROTTLING the memory speeds! Last time I liked ATI was the 9800 Pro! LOL I have 317 Nvidia cards registered at EVGA and I own 11 ATI/AMD cards. LOL If you're using Nvidia and you noticed in your games, minning, benchmarking that they have gotten slower? I'm not sure when Nvidia did it but they drop the cards performance level the second you stress them. It doesn't matter which OS Windows or Linux not sure what happens on a Mac PC (PERSONAL COMPUTER). I noticed this in Linux with the Xorg software it shows the cards level of performance. 0, 1, 2, 3 if you... less
