    The naming of RX 590 does not make much sense. They should have called it RX 580X or RX 585... For that extra speed / power this looks a bit "overstressed". I would not expect it to be more than 10-15% faster then RX 580.

    ... or RX 680 if they follow the previous respin logic. :)

    The price is really disappointing. I was prepared to give 250€ for it, but at $299 I think it will cost close to 325€...

    Well, you could almost never find a 580 8GB for $229. Unfortunately, they always sold for $300 & up. I couldn't even find a 480 8GB for less than $265 (what I paid--for the cheapest one available) and I bought mine > a year after the 480 8GBs shipped. I agree that $250 is the sweet spot. Never, ever will I pay nVidia prices...! Just checked Amazon, and the prices for the 580 8GB have dropped--finally!--to ~$245--but the link here shows you what they were charging.

    Glad the robber-baron days are behind us.

    1) unlike Nvidia, AMD's retail pricing allows for discounting, which will go into effect after Xmas if the mining demand is where it is today.
    also i expect game bundles w/the 590, which will lower the effective price.
    2) this relaunch makes perfect sense in today's marketplace... no 2060 for competition yet and this will undoubtedly outperform the 1060, which was close to the 580.
    3) this is a pure profit move as there is no R&D cost associated and it allows them to end their GloFlo contracts on a high note for both parties. that profit will go to make next generation product.
    4) competition is good, hate is bad. it's o.k. to dislike a product or company, but not to relentlessly (and without current info) bash a company because it doesn't make what you want. AMD is selling all the cards they can make and that's good enough for me to invest in them.

    Is this news about AMD or Nvidia?
    That's a bit irrelevant, ain't it?

    If AMD could keep the current pricing of the 580 for this card they would have a killer product as of right now https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137118 has the 580 for 232.06$US after conversion plus tax which is actually a great price and i cant see this card costing them anymore to make over the 580. Unfortunately it looks like they're going to try selling these products along side each other and segregate them rather than phase one out.

    Depends on the actual performance bump.

    I'm confused, why would NEW architecture be named with OLD "5-series" title?

    An "RX 6-series" escaped them or something?

    RX 6-series would be replacement for RX-580.
    RX590 is not a replacement, but a higher tier GPU to compete with Nvidia at hopefully lower price.

    So it means RX590 will cost more than RX580.
    RX680 would keep the price same while offering more performance.
    Just like RX480 -> RX580 transition.

    A bit too late. Already snapped up a used Vega 56 for that same amount of money.

    I can't think of any reason to spend more, either, except maybe for a Porsche ;-)

    I don't know, should they be prevented from putting it on the market? What is your compliant? You can't afford the massive performance increase?

    I feel ya...I went with two TITAN SC at release and paired them with a 980x. Had WR for about two days until the dry ice and LN2 crowd kicked in. :p Now just the single 1080 Ti blows them away..
