AMD Preparing New RX 590 GME Graphics Card for Release

[ARF]

$200 is not exactly a budget price tag.
10 years ago you could buy a high-end, top of the line Radeon HD 4890 for $200.

Today you want to convince us that a 5-year-old GPU is worth it when it has no basic feature set compliance.
Try to run 4K or 8K, I am pretty sure that 8K video won't even run on it.

Mining craze is pretty over once again.. This is truly a pointless card, maybe a perfect match for that new Biostar H61(!!) board which was released last week.

Not necessarily. There's always room for GPU mining. A new algorithm designed to specifically benefit from GPU architecture will always appear.
590 or 580 is bad efficiency, though.

If AMD really is still fabbing Polaris, they'd do better to actually sell the chips as souvenirs than actually put them on graphics cards.

He didn't say anything about buying. He don't want it to be released.

Athough I don't understand why. Why anyone want people to buy power they don't need for an extra? Because sure as hell this will be priced properly. And as a Chinese inland product it will serve most likely OEM-fed internet and gaming cafes with most likely low sys.req. MMOs and RTS' as the main deal.

You can call this product mundane but it's still does what it does and all is up about the pricing. Especially since the current gen has some nasty driver-problems since launc, going with an RX5xx could be a wise decision.

edit: May I remind everyone to the 3 times renamed and recarded G92 from nVidia? I think it was debuted as a wariant of 8800 GT or something like that and held on for about 3 generations pretty much staying the same.

No, 8800 GT, 9800 GT and GTS 250 were different.

8800 GT on 65nm launched on 29.10.2007 for $349. Core clock 600 MHz. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-8800-gt.c201
9800 GT on 65 nm launched on 21.7.2008 for $160. Core clock 600 MHz. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-9800-gt.c635
GTX 250 on 55nm launched on 4.3.2009 for $199. Core clock 702 MHz. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gts-250.c241

Now, this RX 590 GME is some type of a SE card with lower clocks while maintaining the uber high price of its fully enabled sibling.

G92 is G92 even if it's made with 7nm process.

e: and some 9800 GT:s were dieshrinks, not just rebrands IIRC

Well, a GTX 970/980 (and soon 980 Ti) is ~5 years old and still runs games well.

And ah, the HD 4890, got mine pretty cheap since it was a review sample (reference card, HIS sticker) and felt cool to have a GPU running over 1GHz. Still have 2 of those.

RX580 super, oops, I mean RX590 subpar GME
Factory "underclock" is not uncommon, I guess AMD wants to fill every price point like Nvidia.
There is nothing wrong with that.

Prices Very expensive

XFX Radeon RX 590 GME = 1199 Chinese Yuan or $170 US
Sapphire RX 590 Nitro+ = 1299 Chinese Yuan or $185 US
PowerColor Radeon RX 590 GME Red Dragon = 1349 Chinese Yuan or $195 US
ASRock Radeon RX 590 GME PG = 1399 Chinese Yuan or $200 US

AMD Revives Polaris In Asian Regions, Radeon RX 590 GME With 2304 Cores, 8 GB Memory But Lower Clocks

AMD seems to have released a new variant of its Polaris GPU in 2020, this time as the Chinese-exclusive Radeon RX 590 GME.

Something is wrong here. I can get a normal 590 for 999 Yuan in China from reputable (the ones that honor and warranties) sellers

Dont buy it then

Yeah I’m nVidia user. AMD goodbye.
AMD just knows how to produce and release products weak for 2K-4K which is out of my demands.
