great 1080p and solid 1440p
in-depth reviews and helpful tips

both cards are still far more thirsty than the Nvidia card
no reference cards for us to test on release
very same somewhat cheap looking and feeling cooler

XFX Radeon RX 590 - Pros & Cons

Frame-to-frame consistency is still good
great 1080p and solid 1440p
in-depth reviews and helpful tips
aggressive frequency thanks to cool ambient air
incredibly good performance and is commendable of the card
RX 590 does pretty well overall
good performance and completely reasonable
free performance is free performance

both cards are still far more thirsty than the Nvidia card
no reference cards for us to test on release
very same somewhat cheap looking and feeling cooler
overclocking is hardly useful for this GPU
unexciting it s a re-refresh
None of these are particularly playable
performance boosts harder at 4K than 1080p
black/red combo here feels more tired than an obese kid climbing some stairs
is restricted to the stock speed of 8Gbps
it came out on top - and sometimes by quite a considerable margin to boot
is a little harder for me to gauge
literally not game-changing
Intel Unveils Xeon CPU Max And Data
Radeon RX 590 has steadily leaked out to the web
the cooler will extend past two slots
limited capacity and time-to-market considerations
RX 580 is not intended for current Polaris 10 owners
video card market
prohibitively expensive
1080p results are worse than 2k
lack of framebuffer
squeezing another couple hundred megahertz out of a mature graphics processor
Nvidia would have been better off releasing a less expensive Pascal update
The best graphics card is rarely the most expensive model
afford the fastest graphics card
Nvidia has left a gaping hole in its lineup
not a clean sweep of the gaming benchmarks

XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy review: Pedal to the heavy metal

3.5

AMD's Radeon RX 590 GPU uses brute force and an improved 12nm process to muscle past Nvidia's GTX 1060, but it doesn't displace the RX 580 completely.

Radeon RX 590 Review: AMD’s First 12nm GPU Hits 225W

AMD's Radeon RX 590 is based on a 12nm Polaris GPU designed to fill the void between Radeon RX 580 and Vega 56. While it certainly is faster, higher power consumption hampers the company's performance per watt ratio.
