Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Pulse 8G 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
- Remains cool as a cucumber even while using GPU intensive games.

Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ 8G Graphics Card
- Very good graphics card loaded with lot of memory and good bus.
- Runs with me in the silent bios with stable GPU clock speed of 1545 MHz and the 8GB memory.
- Very customizable at overclocking level. Also 256 bus is great.
- The board behaves very well for performance with 1500+ clock speed, and quiet operation.
- I come from a 1050 of 2gb and jump is considerable to 8gb, perfect for 1080p.

What customers say about "Features"
Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Pulse 8G 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
- Use with no problems so far and temps and fan sounds are fine.
- It was running at 80C under load until I adjusted fan speeds from auto to manual. Since then its never gotten warmer than 66C.
- Adjusting the fan curve to 70% the temperature does not exceed 60 degrees, it is excellent.
- Colored lines appear randomly and don't stop until a hard reset is done. Very loud fan.
- It doesn't even reach 60% fan speed when you're overheating with the stock fan curve.
Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ 8G Graphics Card
- Works like a dream, very quiet and brilliant value for money, having no trouble running g any games.
- Good build quality, perfect fit with dual width GPU.
- Being able to change the color of the side LEDs (which in my case changes color according to the temperature, so very useful, we know).
- The card is whisper-quiet, the whole system is almost inaudible. That's great.
- A bit too noisy personally when the fans go to maximum.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Pulse 8G 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
- Super easy install! Works extremely well and perfectly stable.
- Easy installation, huge framerate boost for XPlane 11. Huge graphics memory.
- 2 HDMI and 2 Display Ports and 1 DVI connector all but ensure that you will have the right connections for the next few years.
- Nice Mid-range GPU, gave me no problems setting up and installing.
- Easy to install. Screen looks great.
Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ 8G Graphics Card
- Using standard PCI-Express 3.0 x16 host interface. Nothing to complain about.
- On the rear panel there are five connectors for image output: two DisplayPort, two HDMI and one DVI. As always, good, basic ports.
- On the rear panel there are as many as five connectors for image output: two DisplayPort, two HDMI and one DVI.
- Power on the PCI-Express line does not produce the required power on the motherboard.
- They removed the good old one VGA, so I had to buy an adapter from VGA to HDMI.
