its clear,, i mean gpu of that kind should banned and not toleraded for sale!

tx 590 'fat boy' indeed, nmassive FAT powerdraw, i mean its NEED for average gaming 100%... yes you read right 100% times more juice to have gtx 1060 performance!

games performance different is so little that gtx 1060 6gb is 100 times better gpu.

powerdraw peak rx 590 'fatboy power earth eater' need 130% more juice, what mus be new universum record!.. well vega 64 might win..

i think techpowerup give it too high reward,its not deserve anykind reward. 'not recomended' is right

abosluly junk!

p.s. its sure that gtx 1060 6b with gddr5x mems beat it easily... in fact ANY of nvidia gpu,even jurasic park old 980 ti beat it ..from games speed and also 980 ti eat less power...also its cost lower huh!

1080ti pulls 280 watts for gaming workload, still below your 300 watt proposal.
20w difference isn't much at all, compared to the 50w more on average it pulls than a founders card.
Sounds like you are trying to make up for something you are lacking by bragging about your 1080ti and tearing other people down.
Nice BS there, he knew nothing, fanboys mostly from nvidia are flocking here to throw their weight calling it a "refresh" "bad" and all that nonsense, guess fanboys like you never learn.
Honestly, there is nothing to really compare the 2 GPUs other than power consumption as that is the only thing that is close.
Still, what do you achieve by comparing power consumption against a top end card to one designed for the mid-end market? It's not like all the buyers would see it has the same power consumption and spend a little more for a 1080 ti - there's a massive difference.
The fanboyism in here is unreal.

In summary for everyone who just arrived here:

Is there some sort of evidence that a large number of consumers actually care all that much about the power consumption?
I get why people around here might care, technological reasons, perhaps you live where power is expensive.
But I think it might be worth looking outside your own opinion to think about if the market at large actually cares.

If you gamed 8 hours a day 7 days a week using the power consumption in the review it would cost you (at average rate, 12.15c/kwh) $82 vs $41 for a 1060.

Do you actually game 8 hours a day 7 days a week? Then the math starts to make sense to worry about power consumption. If you were going to own the card two years+ it might actually make sense to outright buy a 1070 instead. But that's assuming you want to make the initial $ investment now.


3 hours a day, more reasonable number but still well above average:
$30 vs $15

If you play games at the average rate (6hr per week)
$8.74 vs $4.32


Are you sweating $15? I'm not. I'm certainly not sweating $4 or everything in between.


The big complaint is the per dollar, not per watt. Outside of absurd amounts of gaming or mining the wattage just doesn't move the needle for the vast majority of gamers.

Powerdraw of a 1080TI, performance of a 1060. I don't see this taking a bite out of 1070, which it's supposed to be competing with.

It's supposed to compete with, and beat the GTX1060 6GB, which it does handily.

So the "12nm" is just marketing BS just like excepted since the chip is 100% the same, isn't it just optimized 14nm?

Oh look, a card that is 12% faster than 580 consumes 15% more power.
Don't forget to ban 980Ti while you are at it.

Stay on topic, in case you haven't noticed the title of the thread isn't "flame war" so quit being a douche and respond to the arguments you failed to propose without being invalidated.

Dude, I know the red camp has been lagging behind for so long they've convinced themselves power draw is a non issue. But this offers like 10% more gaming performance than my GTX 1060 in exchange for 110W more.
You don't care about that? It's fine. Just don't expect everyone to sweep that under the rug.

Wizzard, too bad you did'nt really go through the full refinement differences. Hardware.info reports that on same clocks there's a 50W power difference. When undervolting and keeping on stock it goes back to 0.900mv. Your OC seems really bad compared to others, who made a almost 1700mhz with just 0.100mv increase. Where you OC'ing with stock voltage?

Yeah the power enveloppe is bad knowing the 1080 does 2/3rd more then this card. Oh and, you could increase the max memory clock by flashing the card.

Your not discussing open ideas. You are insulting people and inciting arguments (trolling).

When someone shows that your statements are wrong you throw a temper tantrum like a small child calling them fanboys. Personally I have a 1950x, 8700k, and (2) 1080ti’s. I think I have put enough money (won’t tell my wife exactly how much) into each AMD, Nvidia, and Intel that calling me a fanboy of one Is utterly laughable.

You claim someone does not know anything because they have a Radeon HD hardware. When someone disagrees with you opinion you call the “uneducated or stupid”. Does the word shallow mean anything to you?

Here is a nickle’s worth of free advice. Learn how to speak to people, even on the internet. Treat them with respect, especially if you disagree with them. If you do that, most people will take you seriously and actually listen to what you have to say. If you don’t, they will tune you out like a repetitive commercial on the radio.

Seriously, "1440p 144hz gaming with no problems"?
Out of curiosity I went back and read the review again. Of the 23 games included, this card averages over 60fps in 11. And a couple of them are just barely above 60fps. In no game does this card average 100fps at 1440p.
Sure, you don't need to max everything out and you can push more titles above 60fps. But 144?!?

I bet you can overclock the GTX1060 to get a 10% boost to match this RX590 card and the 1060 would still consume far less power than this RX590 card.

Yeah but that was'nt my point. The stock OC woud'nt gain net high results compared to increasing the voltage with another 100mv or so. Some sites reported almost 1700Mhz core OC.

How would you find a 580 having "performance way above 1060 6gb", when this card right here is only like 10-15% faster than 1060?
I was hinting to RX590 being cheaper and way faster.
10% on average is way faster

Not from an engineering point of view. And from a gamer's point of view, if won't let you play a higher resolution. The best you can hope from +10%HP if turning up a notch one or maybe two settings.
And you don't have to take my word for it. Just head over to HardOCP, that guy frequently includes "highest playable settings" in his reviews and he has reviewed this very card.
