AMD Radeon RX 590 1440p, 1080p & Ultrawide Gaming Performance

Battlefield 1

The higher the resolution, the smaller the gains the RX 590 will exhibit over the RX 580. At 1080p, AMD’s latest gains 7 FPS, which drops to a gain of 5 FPS at 1440p. As I analyze these results, I now realize that I didn’t test the GTX 1060 in the higher resolutions, so I’m glad it’s at least covered in the 1080p set. AMD really cleans house at 1080p, though, slotting the three RX cards right in between the 1060 and 1070.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

The RX 590 continues to leap ahead of the RX 580 by a fairly expected amount, again sitting in front of NVIDIA’s GTX 1060 – and not at all far behind the GTX 1070.

At 1440p, the RX 590 with our settings can handle about 50 FPS, which isn’t bad at all given the level of detail. However, that consists of a 40 FPS minimum, which might be a bit low for your tastes. Fortunately, Mankind Divided offers a ton of tweaking ability, so you won’t have a hard time getting a 10 FPS boost.

F1 2018

In F1 2018, the GTX 1060 manages to overtake the RX 570 at 1080p, and once again, the RX 590 slots in ahead of the RX 580 with a 7 FPS increase. While Mankind Divided had tight performance between the RX 590 and GTX 1070, the latter card clearly spreads its wings better here (and with Battlefield 1, but we have many more benchmarks to go).

Far Cry 5

These 7 FPS increases for the RX 590 at 1080p over the RX 580 seem to be rather consistent. Yet again, the GTX 1060 displaces the positioning of the RX 570, after which point the cards scale as expected.
