Radeon RX 590 in review – Polaris at the absolute limit

The transition to an improved manufacturing process (12nm FinFET) is also intended to breathe new life into Polaris before retirement. However, with regard to Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060, the goal has been to use the newly acquired reserves exclusively for clock increases and not to increase efficiency with the same performance, which is a pity from our point of view. XFX also relies on existing technology of the current RX 580 GTS Black Edition for the RX 590 Fatboy tested today, saving the costs for a new development of the board and radiator. We tested more closely...

Temperature gradients and boost clock in detail

While the clock world still seems to be in order in the open structure, the clock in the closed housing then collapses. Our graphics show the connection between heating and clock for the gaming and torture loops. For the measured power consumption values, the cooler really already operates in the limit range. A more potent (and quieter) solution could certainly have been a remedy. The 1580 MHz can only be done with extremely good housing ventilation, but with Silent this will not happen at first.

And now the whole thing again in sober figures in table form for the practice-relevant gaming loop:

Initial Final value
Open Benchtable
GPU Temperatures
32 °C 80 °C
GPU clock 1580 MHz 1580 MHz
Ambient temperature 22 °C 22 °C
Closed Case
GPU Temperatures
33 °C 82-83 °C
GPU clock 1580 MHz 1527 MHz
Air temperature in the housing 25°C 45°C

Board Analysis: Infrared Images

The following image gallery shows all infrared images for the gaming and the torture loop in the open structure and in the closed case. The differences are very clearly visible, especially since the cooler really reaches its limits.
