Conclusion
...Sapphire, as usual, does well with what it has to work with, and the RX 570 Pulse is another example of the company knowing its target market well.The knowledge that AMD will not release mid-priced RX Vega GPUs this month puts renewed focus and pressure on existing Radeon cards occupying the £200-£300 segment. That space is currently tenanted by the Radeon RX 570 4GB, albeit it is short supply due to high demand from, we believe, cryptocurrency miners.
RX 570 remains a solid GPU for gaming at 1080p and, at a push, 1440p, and is usually close enough to the GeForce GTX 1060 to make it a fair fight.
Sapphire, as usual, does well with what it has to work with, and the RX 570 Pulse is another example of the company knowing its target market well. The no-frills card undercuts the Nitro version by £20-£25 and carves a niche in the lower-priced RX 570 territory.
If it was our money and we had to buy a £250 card right now for gaming, the cheapest GTX 1060 6GBs would get the nod. However, anyone wanting to go down the red route should certainly keep the Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Pulse on their radar.
