It seems AMD Radeon RX 500 GPU series will be released this week. The RX500 line will include 4 models. RX 580, 570, 560 and 550 and price range will go from 99 to 279 USD. Â
Video Card | Boost Clock Speed | VRAM | Bus / Bandwidth | Estimated Price |
---|---|---|---|---|
RX 580 | 1340 MHz | 4GB or 8GB | 256-bit / 256 GB/s | $229 to $279 USD |
RX 570 | 1244 MHz | 4GB or 8GB | 256-bit / 224 GB/s | $169 to $229 USD |
RX 560 | 1287 MHz | 2GB or 4GB | 128-bit / 112 GB/s | $110 to $120 USD |
RX 550 | 1300 MHz | 2GB | 64-bit / 56 GB/s | $99 USD |
All cards are based on the current Polaris architecture, Â the same we find in RX 400 series. The Vega architechture will be present in future GPUs to be released later in 2017.
Rumor say that RX500 is just an improved RX400 adding few new features. According to test performances, the XFXÂ RX 580 is just a slightly better than the RX480. Anyway, the release of 500 series seems to have pushed down prices of 400 one.Â
