Our value scatters boil down the story of the RX 590 quite well. On the back of its clock-speed boost alone, the RX 590 capably steps into the wide gap left by the RX 580 8 GB and the GTX 1060 6 GB in today's midrange graphics-card market. Perhaps more c...

Abstract: Today we're checking out the new-ish Radeon RX 590 and on hand for testing we have the XFX Radeon RX 590 'Fatboy'. This is technically a new GPU, but kind of not new at the same time. What we have here is Polaris 20 XT on the 12nm FinFET process, and this...

The new Radeon RX 590 beats Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060 6GB across our benchmark suite at 1920 x 1080 and 2560 x 1440. However, AMD took a truncheon to the card's power limit in order to motivate its Polaris GPU. We think you're better off scooping up great...

Abstract: AMD has had a fairly sizable hole in its graphics card line-up for quite some time now. Disregarding the craziness crypto-miners caused for a while there, pricing on the Radeon RX 580 has hovered around the $200 mark, whereas most of the Radeon RX Vega 56...
Overclocking, Performance, Looks, Price point, Free games with the purchase, Warranty
Hoping for a bit more performance, Logo not lit (just a preference)
AMD's refresh of its Polaris architecture is now a known commodity. Out the door, it delivers excellent performance for the price point of $279. This price point slots it in the same position as the GTX 1060 and RX 580 that it beats in every gaming test...
This is going to be a bit of a tough conclusion since Im really torn about the RX 590 and its place within AMDs current lineup. This is a obviously a card solely being launched to generate interest in a flagging product stack and if anything it shines a...
Abstract: How can improvements to the GPU manufacturing process make graphics cards better? There's no one solution, and today's launch of the $280 Radeon RX 590 shows that Nvidia and AMD took two wildly divergent paths in the shift to the 12nm process.Nvidia's use...
AMD has an interesting release with its Radeon RX 590, which stands as a refresh of the Radeon RX 580 on 12nm but it doesn't end there. There are three bundled games which give you approximately $180 worth of value inside of the $279 price of the RX 590...

If you're gaming at 1080p, then the RX 590 is the obvious choice in this price league over the GTX 1060. It played all our test games at this resolution at top settings without dropping below 40fps, and it's quicker than the GTX 1060 in all the cases wher...
