OcUK RX590 review thread

[nashathedog]

At least AMD are now holding the best 1080p level card,
We could all debate that they were already ahead of the 1060 with the 580 but regardless of where you stand on that surely we can all agree that the 590 is the new king, Now we need to see what the 1060 with 5X memory brings to the table.

 

[humbug]

eeeeee let me sum this up
It's using more juice than 1080ti
Uses more than vega 56
slower than either of them eeeee LOL

@himbug its AMD they can't just wait for navi matching 1080 performance at 300 pounds.


Let's face it this Vega 56 with 3 games for 300 deal that Gibbo sorted is best deal on AMD atm

My GTX 1070 is getting on a bit, i fear it will die of old age before it can be replaced at a reasonable cost, a reasonable cost is not £500 for £500 performance of 2 years ago, nVidia

Perhaps i shouldn't be counting on AMD to put some sensibility back in the market, its not their job to moderate it.... but damn it AMD give me something to buy and i'll buy it!

You must do better AMD.

Seems they are doing quite well with deals like this

Noooo the vega 56 is the 1080p level king @300 pounds. Bargain i say.

Yeah that doesn't surprise me....

At £300 it is, at £350 it's a different proposition.

Am I getting commission since I have convinced a pal at college to buy the 56 tomorrow? It is a cracking deal with those games though.

You would have to be mad to buy one of these when vega 56 is only ~£30-40 more at the moment.

Gotta say the deal game and if someone is happy with 1080p its very good deal atm if someone wants to play them games. Sinve seems cant be sold :/

True Gibbo made AMD deal look poor with the great 300 quid vega 56

Yep, the price/performance king right now is the 570, but after that it's a real toss up between the Vega 56 and RX580. If you can stump up the extra ~£80, V56 is actually worth it from a "cost per frame" perspective.

The 590 is in an odd price bracket of irrelevance. At current prices, either you go 570/580, or V56.

True, I went & had a look & saw these new deals after posting, both the V56 Pulse and the V64 Nitro are great choices.

Techspot says no.

I was looking at the gaming results on Techpowerup.

 

[ANDREW GREEN]

These benchmarks are showing as little as a 5% gain from 580 OC over 590 in a few titles

These a bit better, but 20% really looks top end

225w, jesus.

pascal has twice the performance per watt, heck even Maxwell on 28nm is far more efficient

They've just clocked a 480 to within an inch of its life. I expect if you took a 580 and applied a decent overclock you would reach the same ceiling as the 590.

I quite agree! Not that the 590 is poor value but when compared to the 56 for ‘pennies’ more it seems a daft choice.
