AMD Preparing New RX 590 GME Graphics Card for Release
Expreview has caught the sighting of an apparently upcoming AMD graphics card based around the RX 590 SKU. The new revision, being named the RX 590 GME, apparently features lower clocks than the base Polaris 30 RX 590 ~around 1,385 MHz boost compared to the vanilla RX590's 1545 MHz. That clockspeed puts the RX 590 GME slightly above the RX 580 in terms of specs, but way below the RX 590, which should lead to a distinct performance variation between the two.
It's unclear as to what GPU die this new Polaris-based graphics card will be using. If I were a betting man, I'd say these are being harvested from 12 nm Polaris 30 dies that haven't been able to sustain the 1545 MHz clockspeeds rated for RX 590 chips - but still being put to use and very likely with a better power/performance ratio than the RX 590. For now, the model is only available for pre-order through a Chinese e-tailer, which could mean this is a China-only release.

590 or 580 is bad efficiency, though.
Athough I don't understand why. Why anyone want people to buy power they don't need for an extra? Because sure as hell this will be priced properly. And as a Chinese inland product it will serve most likely OEM-fed internet and gaming cafes with most likely low sys.req. MMOs and RTS' as the main deal.
You can call this product mundane but it's still does what it does and all is up about the pricing. Especially since the current gen has some nasty driver-problems since launc, going with an RX5xx could be a wise decision.
edit: May I remind everyone to the 3 times renamed and recarded G92 from nVidia? I think it was debuted as a wariant of 8800 GT or something like that and held on for about 3 generations pretty much staying the same.
8800 GT on 65nm launched on 29.10.2007 for $349. Core clock 600 MHz. www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-8800-gt.c201
9800 GT on 65 nm launched on 21.7.2008 for $160. Core clock 600 MHz. www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-9800-gt.c635
GTX 250 on 55nm launched on 4.3.2009 for $199. Core clock 702 MHz. www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gts-250.c241
Now, this RX 590 GME is some type of a SE card with lower clocks while maintaining the uber high price of its fully enabled sibling.
e: and some 9800 GT:s were dieshrinks, not just rebrands IIRCWell, a GTX 970/980 (and soon 980 Ti) is ~5 years old and still runs games well.
And ah, the HD 4890, got mine pretty cheap since it was a review sample (reference card, HIS sticker) and felt cool to have a GPU running over 1GHz. Still have 2 of those.
super,oops, I mean RX590subparGME :laugh::laugh::laugh:Factory "underclock" is not uncommon, I guess AMD wants to fill every price point like Nvidia.
There is nothing wrong with that.
AMD just knows how to produce and release products weak for 2K-4K which is out of my demands.
