    RX 580 vs RX 590

    I'm not disagreeing, I just feel that the RX 590 is already the 3rd iteration on Polaris architecture, with increases in power draw to make up for improvements in chip architecture. As I've said, I myself am looking at a RX 580 to replace my ageing Radeon HD7950 and I just can't bring myself...

    RX 580 vs RX 590

    Low budget motherboard
