okay AMD's got a new graphics card well sorta this holiday season spice up your build with high performance options from msi like the m EG z 390 god-like which supports up to forty six hundred megahertz memory for their wide range of graphics cards from AMD and NVIDIA msi also has full product lines including bare-bones workstations gaming peripherals monitors and more to see all that msi has to offer click the link in the description below so it's no surprise to anyone that AMD sort of been struggling in terms of the GPU radeon division over the last year raja Kaduri harry say his last name Kotori Kaduri whatever he was kind of poached by boy wasn't poached he's not an animal he was headhunted and what sounds like his head got cut off he now works her Intel anyway because Intel's come out with a graphics card I know if you guys have heard I think my 20/20 were supposed to see some mainstream desktop performance graphics card to try and compete with Nvidia AMD hasn't really been competing too well I mean the last major launch we've seen from AMD was Vega and unfortunately it was it was a big flop in terms of making a splash in the market it didn't disrupt Nvidia whatsoever it was hot it was overpriced it was only competing with like the 1070 and 1080 where Nvidia already had a 1080 Ti and a Titan X and all that out and it was you know six hundred plus dollars it just was a terrible terrible situation which means the only mainstream you know desktop processors or graphics cards that we had rather for gamers was the rx 480 which this was actually a bit of a splash to the market because it came in at around 200 bucks for the 4 gig version in the 8 gig version was around 200 in 49 or 259 great compute card which launched the entire GPU shortage because of cryptocurrency mining this card this was the one the 480 that launched all of that yeah that guy right there then we had a little bit of a node upgrade to it where it was the same node dye size but we had a little bit of improvements to core clock and power distribution and all that stuff which led to the RX 580 a very minimal jump that started whole AMD's rebranding rebranding stuff well guys were kind of at it again now with the RX 590 whoops I know oh okay so I mean when the 590 was announced I think a lot of people were really excited and yes I'm aware that I'm unboxing the 480 because we're gonna be taking a look specifically at the Nitro plus rx 590 from sapphire I love Sapphire cards they are usually kind of like the flagship of AMD I just opened that upside down they usually are like they've got in my opinion the best build quality they've got really good software really good just how the experience with it is it's good now this was the limited edition this is the gun the gun fire the gunmetal version and as you can see the 590 definitely bring in the Sapphire back if you will externally they are like identical in fact even the backplate is pretty much the same it's just a different color so as you can see they have definitely brought the Sapphire back all the Sapphire color blue LEDs in there and and all that stuff in fact these are pretty much like a direct copy of each other I hope you guys like blue because that's the only color you're getting at least with this one right here with the Nitro+ both of them are dual BIOS cards which come with different fan curves and overclocks and stuff like that speaking of overclocks this card actually runs 1560 megahertz or up to 1560 via GPU boost and 20 100 megahertz memory now both these cards spec wise are nearly identical the differences the 580 is a 40 nanometer process the 590 is a 12 nanometer process but both have 8 gigabytes of gddr5 256 bit bus the base specs of both these cards for reference models anyway have an eight gigabit per second memory speed not a whole lot different between these cards which unfortunately is kind of feeling the whole audience distaste for the whole rebranding thing we have seen the rebranding claims from the 200 series and up and yeah so we heard we're due today we're gonna throw this card into the system right here we're gonna load up some battlefield 5 I actually had already started benchmarking this card I was going through and compared like firestrike and in 3d mark will fire strike three mark times spy Metro last light the usual gambit and guess what we found out it's that much faster as to be expected though considering its a twelve nanometer process this is a 14 nanometer it's got a little bit higher core clock that's one of the major difference is smaller process faster clock higher TDP as well 225 watt on the 590 is a 185 watt on the 580 that doesn't mean that you couldn't necessarily overclock your 580 though to match the speeds or even exceed that of the 590 if you get a good overclocking card the problem with these cards is some of them just with AMD it is super hit and miss on whether or not you're actually gonna get a good overclocking card spoiler alert we were able to actually overclock this one to 1650 up from 1565 or 1560 1560 but didn't really make much of a difference in terms of our scores all it did was change our stability and increase the temperature significantly alright so let's go ahead and go it in the system here let's load up some battlefield 5 and let's see what some real time gaming performance is like in 1080p alright so msi afterburner is showing our card obviously with our 20 100 megahertz memory our 1560 core clock and I'm not gonna overclocked this or do a fan profile or anything for the sake of this video because we really want to compare out-of-the-box performance so as you can see she's already looking at the FPS going really really that's that's all you could if I could no I don't think she's actually staying there she's like a vCard okay I'm just kidding I kid I kid alright options wise of course we're gonna max this out and 1080p there's no reason why I wouldn't cheat by bringing the brightness up a little bit okay everything's on well of course except for D our X Y X 12 is on high dynamic range is on frame limiter 200 and everything's on ultra and all that stuff so we should have hopefully a pretty good gaming experience we're gonna start here in the campaign cuz like I showed you guys in my last video the campaign is actually harder to run then the actual like multiplayer itself I just try hardcore hardcore here we go okay so we're down to 75 ish okay oh wow so we decided to instead playing hardcore we put out hard maybe that was inadvertently a graphic setting I don't know alright we're good this time that last one was just a fluke I guess so here was sitting 64 FPS 63-62 ah what just happened now DirectX function get device removed reason failed with DX GI air device hung GPU driver 18 dot 12.1 okay I'll try reinstalling the driver real quick so now we're dealing with an issue where it keeps minimizing itself something to do with the latest drivers and Battlefield I don't know what if you were a new buyer and you built the system because you wanted to play battlefield 5 and this is the GPU got well this might be the experience you get ok so apparently the third driver install hahaha it could be an issue of AMD's driver like the latest driver I mean AMD and driver problems who we've ever heard of that are we somehow getting better performance in dx11 with the AMD then you work with DX 12 whoa oh he got hung up on the polder yeah so yeah apparently you can't run DX 12 with the latest AMD driver and an RX 590 learnt something but ironically we're getting better performance in dx11 anyway so I think we're clearly getting some dx12 optimization problems here could be a driver bug we'd be reinstalled it three times so it didn't really seem to matter this is one of my favorite deals right here I love tanks I cannot wait until the tank battles are opened up oh we're dead so yeah FPS so far I'm more looking forward to seeing how the aerial battle goes though I should be really high FPS so like I set up in the sky is Lunas fps it's so beautiful the temperature those 74c so it's definitely down clocked significantly here the FPS the 135 on a sub 300 ollar card running max settings okay I'm not gonna play through this whole beginning campaign thing I think multiplayer is is where most people are gonna spend their time right I mean most people will play through the campaign once to get the weapons and stuff you get for completing that and then you go into multiplayer so can this card give me 60 FPS Plus is pretty warm actually in multiplayer I'm pretty sure yes because of what I just saw here in dx11 not 12 all right let's do this 130 ish FPS already at the start of the game if I had r-tx I would have seen his reflection oh it was like that scene from Saving Private Ryan he's eight meters away and you're a medic seven six come on gimme five that's a bad place is fine would you say that this is playable Phillip hang out I get revived what happens if you oh did you see me duck I knew that shot I saw that it was killed by a different guy entirely okay so although we had some weird issues with the driver in dx12 specifically with battlefield 5 I can tell you the other tests that we have run were completely stable we tested it with time spy fire strike Metro last light this is a brand new title with a fairly new card I'm pretty sure that there's gonna need to be some driver optimization for dx12 dx11 saw an improvement in performance which tells us that we clearly had an issue with dx12 now battlefield 5 is an Nvidia title so I don't know if that just means optimizations are being prioritized which it could be very well the case but if you are searching for a card that is under $300 this one comes in at 279 dollars and 1080p with all settings maxed on a free sync panel you can see we had an extremely smooth gameplay experience clearly had way more FPS in multiplayer that we are in single player Phil and I discussed that we think that that has something with the fact that in single-player they can kind of control what's happening with the environment where in multiplayer you can't so it becomes more of a CPU bottleneck and multiplayer we think in single-player they're just adding a crap ton more Beautification if you will to the world which is causing the FPS to drop significantly so we're getting almost double the FPS in multiplayer since that's where you gonna spend most your time that's perfectly fine now if you can get past the blue color I really wish sapphire hadn't hit this one gun metal like the 580 because that was in my opinion the best looking what turn that down the best looking graphics card they had made this blue is I mean I talked about how red it really clashes with many systems you can see the blue is clearly only going to appeal to those who want blue and or an amazing card and don't care what it looks like so there you have it it's also weirdness with dx12 but nonetheless in 1080p ultra all settings max as high as it would possibly go in battlefield 5 more than 100 fps and multiplayer which is great I didn't do a full review of this card by testing it through a whole suite because like everyone else is kind of discovered it is slightly better than a 580 and slightly ish better way so I didn't do a full gamut of testing with this card specifically because that's a gamut and the gambit is a gambit gamut so I didn't run the full gamut of testing with this card because spoiler alert well it's not really spoiler it's at the end of the video now it is a fair good amount better than a 480 and better ish than a 580 but at the expense of being more power draw and 10 10% are so faster so didn't read need to run a whole bunch of benchmarks to tell you guys that but at the end of the day doesn't really matter because you can't really buy 4 80s anymore and if you're getting better performance for the same price that's not a bad thing whether it's rebranded or not I'd love to see something big come from AMD to really shake the tree when it comes to GPU market because I think you guys have seen with Nvidia and it's inflated pricing and completely out of control mindset in terms of what costs what for Nvidia graphics cards we need need something to happen now fortunately is not gonna happen anytime soon I don't think alright guys thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next
