gollark: Stock, not with BDA?
gollark: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-580-vs-AMD-R9-380X/3923vs3532I'm using this to get a rough idea of the differences.
gollark: What card did you said you already had though? An R9 390? I don't think the 580 would actually be much better than it.
gollark: Different cooling and slightly different factoy speeds. Also different amounts of video RAM though I think all 580s are 8GB.
