XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy OC+ 8GB Desktop GPU Review
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | AMD Radeon RX 590 (Desktop) | 32.00"
The AMD Radeon RX 590 is a desktop graphics card positioned in the mid-range of 2018. It is manufactured in 12nm and offers 2,304 shader cores and 8 GB GDDR5 VRAM using a 256 Bit memory interface (8 GHz, 256 GB/s).
The RX590 uses the new Polaris 30 chip, which is a 12nm version of the Polaris 20 chip of the RX 580. Thanks to the improved process, the clock rates of the RX 590 can be higher at a similar power consumption.
This leads to a 10 percent higher performance compared against the older Radeon RX 580 and therefore the RX 590 is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060. This means that the card is best suited for 1080p gaming in max. details (of 2018 games).
The power consumption is rated at 175 Watt and therefore 10 Watts below the Radeon RX 580 (185 Watt).
