AMD has announced a new GPU which goes by the name AMD Radeon RX 590 and has arrived as a successor to the RX 580. Based on the same fourth-gen Graphics Core Next architecture as the predecessor, the Radeon RX 590 offers up to 20 percent more value for money than other GPUs.
The GPU hosts 8GB of GDDR5 memory with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 225W compared to the 185W power delivery of RX 580. The Radeon RX 590 is priced at $279 (~Rs 20,000) but we can expect to see pricier overclocked cards using the RX 590 as a reference. GPUs based on the RX 590 will be available from vendors like Asus, PowerColor, XFX, and Sapphire.
The GPU makes a lot of sense in the sub-$300 segment but considering that it is only slightly improved over the RX 580, people might choose to turn to the older GPU. Either way, the GPU is likely to grab more attention than the two-year-old GTX 1060, especially because NVIDIA is now pegging its attention at the RTX 20X0 series.
