You'll notice the RX 590 in 8 GB versions only, there will not be a 4GB version available, we advise 8GB cards as default these days anyway though. The card has been fitted with a heat pipe design cooler. It has one PCIe PEG power connector (8-pin) as well as another 6-pin power header. The graphics card is a good match for Full HD gaming, up-to 1080P but also is quite capable at 2560x1440 (Wide) Quad HD. The PCB is colored matte black with the cooler that matches that theme. The cooler makes use of thick heat pipes which lower the temperature and increase performance when compared to narrower 6mm ones.  The plastic cap has a very cheap feel/finish though.

   
The prices sits at roughly 279 USD/EUR with 8GB of graphics memory for the RX 590. Obviously, there's a lot to check out other than performance in a review, we'll have a peek at PCB heat levels, GPU temperatures as well as noise levels.  

  
This Radeon RX 590 is armed with 8 GB graphics memory which will be clocked 8.0 Gbps  / 256-bit to give you a little more leash with the higher resolutions and image quality settings. The product runs with clock frequencies running towards 1576 MHz on its 2304 shader processors. We do expect some throttling here though as that is on the high side. 

  
This Polaris 30 12nm GPU based product has been designed to be a match for the most popular Full HD and Wide Quad HD resolutions. Actually, it places a strong focus on 1440P gaming. XFX fits the card with one HDMI (2.0b), three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors as well as one DVI connector.
