How Fast Is The XFX RX 590 Fatboy?

2018-11-15
what is up Tech fans from around the world that's right it's November 15th 2018 and AMD has released a brand new video card now it's really not the most exciting thing in the world because we were really hoping to see Navi but I'm hearing and that's even gonna be pushed farther in the next year so when I said till q3 so that's kind of crazy but what we do have is the brand new RX 590 and the particular one in my hand is from XFX it's called the fat boy edition you can see it's a really large card it's been completely like redesigned as far as the cooling and everything goes plus the name you know fat boy and it's really weird there's been some one controversy out there people are trying to say that oh like the name fat boys like relating to like dropping the bombs and Hiroshima and stuff because they had two little things like them it's just completely ridiculous fat boy that's not even just because they did they took two different words out of something and tried to mix it in people that they were doing this come on man get a life man this has nothing to do with that why try to mix in a hatred and all that kind of stuff into a video card launch just ridiculous stuff but anyway it's with that said this is a pretty nice card and it's gonna come to market at about 279 to 299 I haven't actually seen the retail prices on you know lime for marketing sales but for what it is I think this card is going to be the sweet spot of all cards out there for 1080p if you're not you know totally interested in the whole rate racing thing if you're looking for a good gaming cart that's not gonna break the bank your 1080p gamer I gotta say this new rx 590 I think you're gonna really like this particular card it's got a lot of nice features 2,304 got stream processors 144 of the texture map units you also have 32 ROPS so all in all a good card it's gonna take about 225 watts of power for the car because on the side you're gonna see we do have a single 8 pin and a single 6 pin connector right there so just gonna draw about 225 watts mad at your system on that particular thing the cards really nicely built okay so I'll start off right here on the front we're turn the cart this way say it upside down from the card to new hundred millimeter fans they actually have 11 blade so they're made to deliver a lot of cooling against the card they run really silent too and if you're not gaming you're just like surfing the internet and doing stuff like that the fans actually don't move so if you're not gaming you look in your system the fans aren't moving don't freak out and go my cards broke it's actually designed to do that in the design and another cool thing about AMD is that for crossfire you don't have to require any kind of buying a $50 bridge or anything like that that's why AMD is always so good at being the budget King because of NVIDIA you know even though their stuff may be a little faster and have some cooler stuff you're gonna be paying big bucks because you got to buy the bridge you got to buy this you got to buy that you know when you put your AMD card in your system and you put another one in there Crossfire's automatically enabled and just like free sync you're not gonna have to pay any extra money which is other great things if your person out there you're looking for a monitor that you're not going to rip and tear during your gaming you can look up any free sync monitors a particular card it's going to do very very well now on the side you can also see there's four new heat pipes running all through here aluminum fins all cooling the card throughout the entire system and when this card's in your system it runs very quiet even when the fans rev up these fans are pretty unbelievably quiet which is kind of you know I'm thinking okay wow these older cards you add you know the fan turns on it's like Oh sounds like some kind of lawnmower jet plane going off and videos like famous for this as well but no this card is actually completely silent I love the fact that it has a backplate that's actually wonderful you can't cut your hand on it can't damage the card all of these cards have a three-year warranty so if you're wondering how long is the card of a warranty well this particular card is a three year warranty all of the AMD software stuff that you like for overclocking lot man and all that stuff it's all gonna be in there now the boost clock on this card is running at about 1580 you can actually go into watt men though and change it to 1600 megahertz on the boost and it'll run just fine at that without any problems whatsoever you just got to do a little bit of a tweak there and then you're in like Flynn now the i/o is also pretty much the same standard i/o that you get on all of these cards there are three display ports a single HDMI port a DVID port and one thing cool about the end of the carters it actually as the XFX logos when it's in your system you can actually see that as well going hey it's my XFX card if you're wondering hey will this card fit in my system well the card is actually 10 inches long so you know it's a real lady pleaser but instead of being two slots this card is actually almost three slot because it's a very fat boy car like we talked about before the fat boy well this card is a fat boy card so it almost takes up two and a half slots so pretty much the same thing as like a lot of the larger cards out there it'll fit and most systems out there I really think it's gonna have a problem whatsoever but if you're looking to put you know other cards right next to it that may affect it when you're putting inside your systems I gets the really big things about the RX 590 is the very fact that the Polaris chip even though it's been redesigned it's now on the 12 nanometer process now that means they can make a lot more chips on die which means they should have better yields which should affect the pricing so maybe these cards will even go down in price as the next few months go by all in all a pretty standard looking car there's nothing that just like totally stands out makes you go whoa but in any system with the colors and everything it'll match pretty much up with anything it's straight ahead it does what it does and let's jump into the numbers and you'll see why at the end of the day I really do like this card we've been using the same test system for quite a while now it features an ASUS Maximus hero motherboard features an i7 a 700 K processor 32 gigabytes of RAM and SSD for the boot drive and then we got a couple of 2 terabyte hard drives for storing all the games and all that stuff on also we're using the latest drivers available at the time of launch and we're also using the latest anniversary edition of Windows 10 so with that said though let's rock out to the benchmark song and let's see those scores let's go you all right I have to admit I just love that song the new benchmark song to me is really cool and by the way this version that you guys are hearing isn't even the finished version this was just like a rough mix that we did with some guitars and some program drums the finished product is much better and since many people out there are always asking hey can I use your song and all the stuff well the copyrights belong to us but I will have this song for sale without any vocals on it if you want to use it very soon yer there'll be the vocal version and the non Milka version so with that said let's get back to the card so rx 590 12 nanometer process refresh on the Polaris chipset nothing completely new there however you guys can see that this card only gets 81 Celsius under full load so any overclocking really passed the 16 or megahertz I don't really see that happening because the Vega was actually running about you know seven degrees actually cooler and this card is almost as fast as the Vega 56 which is really crazy because the Vega 56 I believe is about almost $100 more so if this card does hit the market at 279 dollars even at $299 like I said it's going to be a very sweet spot for people out there who want to do 1080p marketing now is the whole Polaris thing the biggest news in the entire world no it's not but you guys can now see just how fast the XFX RX 590 fat boy it really is and honestly at the end of the day I think it's a really great card I give it an editor's choice here on Tekken tomorrow even though it's a Polaris refresh it's still nice to see new tech I don't care who the NIC new tech comes from I love new tech and at least AMD did something to bring something out and doesn't say okay we'll leave the same stuff we have nabis being delayed so this is the card at the moment if you guys are looking to buy one we'll have a link down below where you can purchase one of these bad boys for yourself or just get more information I'm Elric you guys been watching Tekken tomorrow and now you know just how fast the RX 590 fat boy from XFX really is
