RedDevil RX590
It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have an RX590 in the eTeknix office. Sure, it’s been on the market a while, but since we recently reviewed the Radeon VII, I’m really looking forward to this. We tested the flagship AMD card two months after most sites, which means we had some advantages. Newer drivers, more game updates, and a few other tweaks. Overall, the Radeon VII performed far better than we saw at launch. Now I’m also hoping to see the same thing happen with the RX590.
The PowerColor cards come packed with a few cool features too. The massive triple slot cooler means big cooling performance. Larger dual ball bearing fans will provide big air flow. Dual BIOS for overclocking, bigger heatpipes, and so much more. Of course, all this comes on a factory overclocked card with the potential to push even higher with our own overclocks. So, let’s grab the box and take a closer look.

Dr. Mos to provide superior power efficiency and better reliability. In order to achievebetter thermal solution, PowerColor Red Devil RX 590 enlarges the surface ofheatsink and equips with 8mm heat pipes which lower the temperature but increase performance.”
just wandering if the fact that nvidia carrds are compatible with freesync would change the conclusion as you state that there is a price premium for gsync, which if the monitor works with nvidia cards, which many freesync monitors now do, would this reflect in a slightly different gpu recomendation?
