Size and compatibility
Information on Radeon Pro 580X's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
| Interface | PCIe 3.0 x16 | |
| Supplementary power connectors | None |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on Radeon Pro 580X: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | GDDR5 | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 8 GB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | 256 Bit | of 19000 (GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB) |
| Memory clock speed | 6780 MHz | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Memory bandwidth | 217.0 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on Radeon Pro 580X. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | No outputs |
API support
APIs supported by Radeon Pro 580X, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 12 (12_0) | |
| Shader Model | 6.4 | |
| OpenGL | 4.6 | |
| OpenCL | 2.0 | |
| Vulkan | 1.2.131 |
