Radeon RX 580X vs Radeon RX 590 GME benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 590 GME graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 580X in our tests.

Our database shows that both the Radeon RX 580X and Radeon RX 590 GME both have the same core clock speed. Despite this, the Radeon RX 590 GME has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 590 GME has a slightly lower TDP at 175 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580X at 185 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 590 GME is faster than the Radeon RX 580X.
