The AMD Radeon RX 590 up to 1,680 MHz can be found on the web

During the autumn, Nvidia launched its Geforce RTX 2000 series of graphics cards, which so far are exclusively aimed at enthusiasts with well-stocked wallets. For the best-selling mid-segment, the company has no official plans for the year, something AMD is focusing on with a new revision of the Polaris architecture.

Publish on Twitter Tum apisak a screenshot with clock frequencies for the new graphics card named Radeon RX 590. According to the profile, these are RX 590 models from Powercolor and XFX with clock frequencies of up to 1,576 and 1,580 MHz respectively. In both cases, the frequencies are just over 200 MHz higher than most RX 580 in-store models.

Furthermore, overclocked clock frequencies of 1,645 MHz are also stated for the model from Powercolor and 1,680 MHz for XFX. It is not clear whether this is manual overclocking or factory overclocking, but if it is the latter, it is reasonable to assume that over 1,700 MHz is possible to reach for end users.

Comparative reference values are taken from SweClocker’s own test suite.

The clock frequencies were originally found in the database for 3DMark and the subtest Fire Strike Extreme, where the model received 7,350 graphics points. In terms of performance, AMD’s upcoming graphics card is placed in a hitherto untouched segment between Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 1060 and GTX 1070.

When the Radeon RX 590 will be launched and at what price is not yet known.
