On top of this is the Sapphire Nitro + heatsink, which promises a maximum temperature of 74ºC with very quiet operation under load. Two Precision III fans are responsible for generating the necessary air flow to keep everything cool. These fans are kept off until the temperature reaches 56ºC, so they will be completely silent under low load.
Our opinion on the card
Once seen the characteristics of the Sapphire Nitro + Radeon RX 590 and its price, it is time to make an assessment of these Radeon RX 590. The Polaris architecture came two years ago, with the Radeon RX 480 that could be found for a price lower than 300 euros, it was even possible to see an offer for approximately 260 euros. Just over two years later AMD releases a new card, which is a rehash of the RX 580, which in turn is a rehash of the RX 480, three generations of cards based on the same cores with just a few more MHz of difference..
On top of this Radeon RX 590 comes more expensive than the Radeon RX 480… AMD has been very stagnant in the graphics card market, things have to change a lot for Nvidia to have competition.
