There's a lot of choice on the market for GPUs right now, so it's not as simple as “buy X with $Y and buy Z with $A.” We'll try our best.Let's start with XFX's part in this review The cooler isn't good for its size or its price. XFX runs warm in the stock...
After spending a couple weeks using the AMD Radeon RX 590 on our gaming test platform we are happy to report that all did really well at 1080P and 1440P gaming. The three models that we looked at today are very similar in design and none really stood out...
The Radeon RX 590 is more of the same that we have been testing well over two years now. Yes, performance went up a notch, yes the card still works very decently in Full HD and Quad HD resolutions and yes it tweaks nicely. The technology, however, is gett...

Hot and power hungry, Very large, fat card may not fit in all cases, Not much faster than RX 580 for the price
The XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy uses brute force and an improved 12nm process to muscle past Nvidia's GTX 1060, but it doesn't displace the RX 580 completely...

It would be easy if we weren't so resolute in sticking to our principals to get your head turned by high end hardware and be dismissive of the midrange. After all, a GTX 2080Ti or Threadripper review nearly writes itself. High end products always have tha...

AMD's third iteration of it's ‘Polaris' Gaming GPU shows that they are doing everything they can to get every last ounce of performance out of this architecture. They've gotten higher clock speeds than previously achievable on ‘Polaris' and it does well o...

Abstract: As we headed into summer 2018, the talk around graphics started to turn to NVIDIA's next generation Turing architecture, the RTX 2070, 2080, and 2080 Ti, and the subsequent price creeps of graphics cards in their given product segment.However, there has...
AMD has pushed its Polaris architecture further. First it refreshed the Radeon RX 480 with the Radeon RX 580 offering better performance. Now AMD has pushed Polaris to new heights with a 12nm FinFET manufacturing process and has been able to ramp up the c...
