590 FIGHT! What's The Best 1080p GPU? 

Sapphire and Powercolor always know how to make the best AIB versions of AMD's cards

@5:35 "The baby blueish, aquaish shroud" The color you're looking for is Sapphire, like the brand name.

The Nitro+ lets you replace the shroud and backplate and make the whole thing dark red or dark blue (with yellow highlights for some reason). I know custom backplates are a thing, don't know about custom fans and shrouds but either way gotta give props to Sapphire for doing the modular thing.

Bought the Saphire and am beyond happy with its' performance so far. The blue also goes really well with my chassis' white interior as well.

I've always liked the look of the Sapphire cards for some reason. When I was still shopping for a GPU I always seemed to come back to their RX 580 cards. To me they look really sharp, in a basic kind of way. One thing that stood out was that they came with the backplate. I ultimately ended up with a really good deal on a Strix 1070 OC.

got the red devil myself, couldnt be happier with it! paired with my fx 8350 it plays any game maxed out with ease

Brian, are you noticing a dip in CPU performance since the last Windows 10 update? I've went from 392 on my g4600 to 242. Or could it be chrome?

sir do you think Cooler Master MWE 500 WHITE 230V - V2 is good for ryzen 2600 and sapphire rx 590?

Usually the Sapphire SE cards use better binned chips. So it runs cool and you can undervolt them way lower than normal models. PS: I wish testers would stop using MSI Afterburner for tweaking AMD cards, you have an awesome panel in the driver package that provides way better settings than that.

You would expect the red card to run hotter while the blue card runs cooler. What a reversal !! Is it possible to turn off the idle fan shutdown for the Sapphire and make it run at a low speed like the Red Devil?

@BPS Customs I recently got Rx 590 Gigabyte... How do I lower it's GPU temperature? any idea/solution? I will be playing at 1080p.

My Red Devil RX590 is arriving this week. Hoping that the patches for the Linux kernel for these cards gets pushed out ASAP.

Just picked up a XFX RX580 GTS Black Edition last week for roughly $190 including vat to replace my aging Radeon HD6950, last week. I am fairly happy with it.

of course you wont get good overclocking result if you dont bump up the core voltage and the power limit. You can add +100mv to the gpu core with no problems (You dont reduce the card lifespan one bit). My rx 480 does 1330mhz with stock voltage/power limit, but with 50% power limit and 100mv does 1420mhz rock solid stable.

No need to overclock really, and as the Sapphire comes with a memory overclock out of the box, it naturally performs better. Just set up a custom fan profile if you don't like temperatures and you're set. You could also do what I did - undervolt to 1075mV with -10% power limit, and use less power at stock speeds. Seems to perform about the same.

Is it good that I have Sapphire Special Edition RX 580 8GB Nitro+ X2 in CF. :C Each at 1450MHZ.

So from a 1050 to 1060, it's an upgrade. From a 580 to a 590, it's just a refresh. Yet the 590 has a smaller die, more mhz. It like these reviewers are talking down to anything AMD.

I got a Sapphire RX 590 Nitro+ in blue on reserve at a MicroCenter. I love the look of it and the price is decent. Yeah, I can get a Pulse version for $15 less, but the Nitro+ is blue and has really nice looking blue LEDs.

The sapphire rx590 is pretty good. Im building a system for a friend and got him one of those and they run super cool. At full load with fans at 60% the card never goes above 55c. Thats even cooler than my 1080s hybrid.

So do the fans that fit the 570 fit the sapphire 590?

Awesome music on the charts bro. Keep staying awesome and consistent!!!

The saphire is 215 and comes with the division 2 and world war z. Is it worth getting it?

Nitro+ for me. I’m building in the Suppressor F1, and I don’t think the red devil will fit. Also, while the blue isn’t my absolute favorite look, I prefer it over the red devil card. I always like the aesthetics of the pulse cards or the non-special edition nitros, we’ll see when those come out.

I love my rx590 Nitro+. Got it on sale for $260, plus I had a $25 gift card. No complaints at all.

I'm planning on building my first PC, I already have everything but the GPU and was really interested in the 590 Sapphire but seeing as it will be my first build I'm curious as to what setting I should leave my games at so I can get the most life out of my GPU. I dont plan on running games at ultra settings and the games I plan on playing (ark pubg DayZ ) from my understanding won't be so demanding. Will leaving my game settings at high or normal and keeping up with proper maintenance extend the life of a GPU?

Im getting a RX 580 that looks exactly like the blue Nitro for 135 usd. Mined for 6 months and comes with Hynix memory. Also Ive heard that the blue LEDs tend to fade to green overtime, but that shouldnt worry me. Anyways nice vid and nice 580s

Love the channel, keep up the great work!

What about the power consumption?

Did you announce the giveaway winners?

of the two definitely the Sapphire model , I like them a lot better,and also Sapphire has a much better reliability history in Amd cards

wish youd do this with a more common cpu.. like 8700k or even 8700 (non k) or 8600k

I personally would have gone with the red devil one consider my pc theme are red and black.But i am getting the msi rx 580 as it fits in well and are really cheap at the moment.We don't have the rx 590 yet.

i just got an rx-590 unobened from ebay...hoping it works...but its a Red Devil and my motherboard on my 2700k is blue, kinda wish i got the sapphire for that lighting :'( lol

I have just brought the RX 590 sapphire se you have in the video I will be upgrading from the RX 380 sapphire

My RX580 Red Dragon is really loud at full load , I want to hate Powercolor (long story, rebate fiasco) but it seems they make a pretty good product nonetheless . My 580 is overclocked to 1410 and 2100 on the memory without issues

Which gets more fps???

So gtx 1060 6gb or 590?

The r9 390 is still a kick ass card in 2018?!

“Less noise” My red devil with very loud coil wine “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”

I really like that sapphire card... If I didn't already have a gpu that's what I'd go for.

Must be old drivers on sapphires gpu, i have core 1600mhz and mem 9000mhz.

i've always liked reliability from sapphire in the past. but red devil lately has been pretty sweet. I'd go Red Devil between these 2 cards. but i've already got a vega 64. so i don't need either

Weird, I have seen earlier tests that said the red devil went up to 40db noise under load and you tell me it's almost silent ? Did they tweak their bios or something ? And how can you still test Polaris cards without talking about undervolting ?

is that bob ross deadpool?!

I just bought an RX 590 Red Devil on eBay for £250 should I return for an MSI Vega 56 for £270?

I’m getting a red devil 590 today. A great update from a get 730

I don’t know if I should get a rx590 or a used gtx 1070 🤔 advice?

Picked up the Nitro + Special Edition last week, to upgrade from a year old placeholder asus rog strix 1050ti 4GB, works great, can control the fan curve with the amd drivers in their wattman settings page, which means my fans actually work when the pc starts up (fans running at 18% keep the card on idle at 27c). Do not install TRIXX, it just wont do anything with the fan curve.

When will we know about the results from the giveaway that ended on the third of December?

Will this be good for 1440p esport title? If so, around what fps? Btw, League Dota Overwatch are the games i usually play.. I want to benefit my freesync so this is a must buy.

Who won angel or devil!?

Nice music in benchmark

I ordered a Nitro + 590 because i wanted the 3 games that came with it. I was using a gtx 980 and plan to use the nitro for a couple of months while i buy components to build a new pc. when i get all my hardware ordered im going to take the 590 and put it in my daughters computer thats running a gtx 960 mini 2gb at the moment. I was going to put the 980 in her computer but its a strix card and is way too long to fit her case.

Only +100 on memory on the devil? Damn that sucks. Didn't try anything but +250 memory on XFX 590 and works awesome. Also 1650 mhz on the core clock. Silicon lottery I guess then. The red devil is such good looking card tho.

very good stuff Amazing Review

i just bought an ASROCK rx 590 8gb... replacing my 4gb msi 1050ti..... have yet to install, i just hope i don't run into any driver issues going to AMD. I wish i could have gotten a Vega, but i built my rig with an RX card in mind, so GO team red.

just waiting for the Rx 3080 (probably 399) (Yes the leaks are $250 but do you really think they would put it at that price? They would go a decent bit less but not undercutting by that much just to "destroy" nVidia.)

The Sapphire cards are the best looking ones. They are the cards that makes your system look iconic

I'll get the Sapphire Nitro+ in black

Haha I like the thumbnail!

best rx590? fatboy or red devil?

I love the Nitro hands down

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the lack of overclocking headroom suggest that AMD has already OC'd it about as far as it will go (i.e. they're giving you the best deal they can out of the box)?

red devil, I already have a red and black build

I bought the Nitro + because I am buiding an ITX system and I don't want the extra thickness

Uhh Pretty sure I can just plonk into MSI Afterburner and Set my Sapphire Pulse Rx 580 8Gb Clock to either 1475 to 1500MHz and my Mem to 2100 or 2250 and get pretty much the same performance as the Rx 590. Heck Sapphire Bins it's Best Chips for their Models... Msi is not bad either... The Rx 590 can only overclock to 1600Mhz so it might get 5 more FPS your not going to get much more out of Polaris It's at it's Limit to be Honest... Frankly if I had Designed the 590 I'd have gone with 4 or 8 Gb of GDDR 6 to complement the Die Shrink to 12 Nm added more Compute Units and more Stream Processors and Called it the Rx 666 Devil Dog... A kind of Serious Prototype for 12nm and final Version to the Polaris Line to tide things over until Navi is a thing. I can tell you right now that the Hypothetical Result of that Design would be more Akin to the 1070 Ti or RX 2060... Lets Hope Navi ends the Stagnation

Sapphire RX 590: Only to 1590mhz.! - Sounds to me like that card has to be a little bit of an "unlucky" example to be honest. I'm able to run mine at 1715mhz. without crashes or issues in any application that I've thrown at it so far. Although, depending on the application being run, sometimes I've had it all the way up to 1735mhz. That is with the memory also OC. up to 2250Mhx., a custom fan curve (Starting at 20% speed at 30 C. to 100% speed at 80 C.) Stock air cooler from Sapphire. And the highest temperature (that I've seen/noticed) would be 82 C. on the GPU.

Its interesting that your Nitro+ crashes at 1590... I've been running at 1625 constantly. Ran it at 1650 and had no crash either. Maybe my card is "Special"

Are these real or fake plants?

Probably I'll go to hell if I use the devil one I prefer the nitro plus instead

Nice review ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love the RX590 8G SAPHIRE NITRO + ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't understand these guys trouble overclocking these cards. I am able to overclock this card with AMD Wattman to a great amount. I did switch the bios switch though.

You can buy 1060 6gb for like 210$

you would have got a bad chip in sapphire since it's very unlikely that the overclocking headroom of same chip from different vendors would perform so differently. You need to check your cards I will say sapphire creates better cards and heat sinks than powercolor for sure.

can i chance the glow color on rx 590? Everything else in the computer is red, the blue would look like shit^^

Isn't the best 1080p card out there the 2080Ti?

I wish I had seen this video three days ago. Yeah I bought the Sapphire card, but it looks to be maybe not the best option for a RX 590. Seduced by that pretty blueness. Still not shipped though, which really pisses me off. Two weeks ago I bought the Strix RX 590, only to find out they did not have one in stock after all. I asked for a refund. Now this Sapphire turns out not to have been in stock either. Different shop, but the same BS. These NZ shops do not sell many cards, so it looks like they don't actually bother stocking them and order from suppliers when they sell one via their website. Dodgy AF. If it does not turn up tomorrow I am going to ask for a refund again. Sick of this sh!t. I have to keep talking myself out of being angry about it. GPU is the last piece of the puzzle after doing CPU, memory, mobo, SSD, PSU etc. Went with a 2700x. Effing expensive here in NZ like most things. Small market so shops can not stock 1000s of a product they got for a good price and sell cheap like Amazon etc. Retail association lobbied the previous government to make Amazon etc charge NZ sales tax and import duties etc at checkout, so it does not pay off to import anymore. We quite often end up paying roughly 50% more than US peeps pay. The downside of living on some pretty little islands in the middle of nowhere, but lots of good points, so whatever. Why RX 590? Kind of a reluctant buy, but I only have a GTX 1050ti right now, so it is a big improvement. I wanted the 8gb of memory. That's good for playing older games I like that have lots of texture mods and ENB etc (Fallout 4 etc). I also considered a Sapphire Pulse Rx 570 8gb that was a fair bit cheaper. I probably should have got that to tide me over until Navi. Still might do the way things are going with trying to buy a RX 590. Vent: End

I can hit 1660 core and 2250 memory stable on my sapphire. Looks like you didn't get very good cards for OC.

Pretty epic

The RX 590 was AMD doing the same thing as Nvidia with the RTX series. Slightly more performance and at a greater cost (though with Nvidia it is an insanely greater cost) to bring down prices of older cards. With Nvidia, there were trying to sell the over abundance of 10 series cards, but AMD was trying to bring down prices of the RX series to make ot a lower cost before black friday, hence the reason that the 590 had such a quick and honestly meaningless release. That's likely also why it was an oddly timed release, as the end of year sales were approaching. So overall, the goal pf the 590 was to even more so kill the 1060 and bring down other RX card prices before the end of year sales. Although this is just speculation on my part, but it seems likely to me.

Sure in the future their are gonna be rgb parents

The red devil for sure.

what about phantom x gaiming

Just get a VEGA 64 that was used for mining for the same money. Will smash the triple rehashed 480

Epic.

try them in Fallout 4 in Ultra, if they can do 20 fps I would be amazed.

u dont say men., that red card (no name) is beating the sapphire?

I got thís in 70$

Gosh, that blue color is an eye sore.

Red Devil is looking good👹.

Oh shit.... why fake ?? Rise of tomb rider in my red devil 590 stock with ryzen 2600x av FPS - 71!!! U have 86 why?))))))) what ta shit man ahaha

At around 7:10 you were wrong. Having lower temps does not increase lifespan only temperatures above thermal cutoff / throttling point decrease lifespan. And furthermore if you look at cards that have been mined on the fans are always the first things to fail, so it is worse to spin them as there will be no longer lifespan because of the temperatures, only a reduced one due to bearing failure.

Rx 590 is properly overclocked Rx 580.

Come on. The Red Devil is clearly the winner here.

1660ti is the new king

Noice

5th

Hi

The 590 is a wierd card, makes no sense

Honestly think a used 1080ti is better to give you a little longevity for your money
