Sapphire To Launch Gold RX 590 Nitro+ for AMD's 50th Anniversary
Yes, we know that AMD's graphics division anniversary really isn't on its 50th year - ATI's acquisition, the true spirit behind AMD's graphics prowess, occurred back in 2006. However, that doesn't mean AMD's graphics aren't deserving of special commemorative editions. Sapphire have taken it upon themselves to celebrate the occasion with a gold-colored RX 590 graphics card.
The leak came over from one of my own homecountry's webshops, with a full product page that has since been taken down. There is no difference between this card and the usual blue RX 590 Nitro+ - the devil is in the color, so to say. Reference clocks remain the same at 1560 MHz core, and the cooling solution is the same. In Portuguese prices, the pricing difference seems to amount to some extra €25 for the limited edition graphics card. Whether the pricing difference is enough to warrant the additional investment should go according to your own mileage.

despite the looks 300 for a polaris card in 2019 is crazy.
Radeon will have it's own 20th anniversary next year, so they could have leave 50th anniversary to processors. But then again Sapphire is mostly graphics card manufacturer and celebrating with products that they can do best is the way to go. Though maybe they could have gone with special x470 motherboard to go with that amds anniversary CPU.
I can respect that and want one, just because.
Now we just need to get that crap off the packaging.
or the recently released anno 1800

It's nice if it happens to match the theme of your PC, but it's still a 590.
