BEST budget 2023 you can bought

If you buy it for a nice price (AliExpress) cost me around 64 dollars with VAT, and for what this monster card can still give is amazing, can beat easy 1650, can beat 1060 (6gb), the rx 580 sp 2304 stay in middle between 1660 and 1660 super, but this one(rx580 sp2048) unfortunately lose 10-12% less than 1660, but still do a nice job for the price can give

Pros

• cheat FHD/UHD can get on budget
• running anything FHD and some games on UHD
• double fan not noise even on 71 C
• fans not running at 48C
• 8 pins (500w do the job)
• because is just 2048 shaders hot less

Cons

• Old architecture consume more WATTS (but not big deal)
• could just have 6 pin
• Not made for 4k
• You can buy it, but just used
• because is just 2048 shaders less a little more power
• This version just get clock 1750mhz instead 2000 mhz

Very good card recommend it and then u can upgrade to 6600 xt later

Pros

• Cheap
• Great performance
• Able to run almost every triple A games
• Demolishes gtx 1650 for half the price

Cons

• Loud as hell
• Make your electricity bill go up
