Radeon R9 Fury vs Radeon RX 590 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 590 beats the Radeon R9 Fury in gaming performance.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 590 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 590 has a significantly lower TDP at 175 W when compared to the Radeon R9 Fury at 275 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 590 is better than the Radeon R9 Fury.
