Gigabyte only provide a 3 month warranty for those specific skus, so you're relying on the retailer for 12months.

Warranty: 3 months

In terms of specific 'mining' cards, it's one of the better options. Most of the competitor mining cards have either DVI-D only, or no output whatsoever.

$180 (or equivalent) for an RX580 seems pretty high to me these days. While regional pricing/availability plays into things, I'd expect you should be able to get a non-mining RX580 for the same money.
