AMD released an interesting update to the RX 580 today, the aptly named RX 590. It sports the same internals as the current card, with one significant difference which are the clocks. The new RX 590 sports frequencies of 1469 MHz Base, 1545 MHz Boost which is a hair over 200MHz higher than the 580 and [H]ard|OCP were able to push it up to 1670MHz with a bit of extra juice. Their findings matched Ken's, in that this new card makes NVIDIA's GTX 1060 obsolete as it outperforms it and at a better price point. The only drawback to the XFX Fatboy model reviewed is given away in the name; the card is a wee bit over 2 slots in height.
[H]'s suite of games incorporates different titles than ours so make sure you do pay them a visit.

The reason it has that big cooler is the 590 uses an additional 100W, which I’d say is a pretty huge drawback that could still make the 1060 6GB the more attractive option for many people. Source:
