It is cheaper than an on sale RX 580. I have looked up the speeds and it is faster than a PowerColor 8GB 590 (not enough to make a substantial difference, but difference none the less). I can't find no reviews on this 590, but I assume it would perform all the same. Is the longevity of these cards any good? Whats turning me off is the cheap price tag.
Do I ignore this one and get a Sapphire RX 580 8GB for $5 more, just based on the name alone.

Can't say I am a fan of the shroud, looks rather cheap. Also note the card is quite long and exceeds double slot height, basically a 2.5 slot card. But that does give it a large heatsink to play with. Sapphire keeps it down to double slot width, but a much wider heat sink. They went for the full nickel plate as well.

As I recall they are often times an OEM for various companies. Shockingly a US based company, though I imagine everything is still made in Taiwan and China.

I think it would be fine either way.
