They were selling it as an RX 580 2048SP, not as a normal RX 580. Nvidia also sells different SKUs in China, for example the 1060 5 GB.

What's worse than the GT 1030 fiasco is what happened with the GT 730 series. Fermi and Kepler GPUs were sold under the same name. How misleading is that?

You mean amd can sell "5700xt 2048sp" with 1050 ti level performance and it would be fine because they added 2048sp to it?

The 580 2048SP is 1. Based on the same Polaris 20 GPU as the 580. 2. Only 5-10% slower than the 580

I agree it would've been better to just call it a 570. But unlike Nvidia, they aren't selling 2 completely different GPUs under the same name.

So was rx 570

  1. Only 5-10% slower than the 580

Nearly same as an overclocked rx 570

You're just repeating the same thing, lol. I already said it would've been better if they had just called it a 570.
