AMD Radeon RX 590 Leaks Reveal Impressive Mid-Range Graphics Card

The rumour mill is heating up with news of the AMD graphic cards. What does the AMD Radeon RX 590 have in store for the gamer world?

A new entry in the 3DMark database shows that the AMD Radeon RX 590 can deliver a TImeSpy score of 5,028. With that score level, its rumoured Polaris 30 GPU fits snugly between the NVIDIA GTX 1070 and the GTX 1060 levels of performance.

The benchmark explains a little more about the card, including its reputed maximum clock speed of 1,545MHz – supposedly 205MHz faster than its predecessor, the current AMD Radeon RX 580.

The RX 590 is also reported to feature 8GB of video memory operating at a 2,000MHz memory clock, which suggests that AMD plans to stick with GDDR5 memory for its new graphics card.

Despite its similarities to AMD’s latest series of Polaris 20 graphics cards, rumours also suggest the AMD Radeon RX 590 will be built upon a new Polaris 30 architecture that introduces a new 12nm fabrication process.

Both of AMD’s current graphics card families – the Polaris 20 and Vega – utilise a 14nm process, so this will be seen as a stepping-stone towards the 7nm Vega BPUs that will be the next stop on AMD’s GPU roadmap.

If the rumours and benchmark data are real, then the AMD Radeon RX 590 might just be the best mid-range graphics cards you can buy. Especially when NVIDIA has yet to announce its replacement for the GeForce GTX 1060.
