Graphics card gossip circles have fairly devolved into Nvidia Ampere this and Nvidia Turing that of late, however at this time brings information that AMD could also be about to launch a contemporary batch of graphics playing cards to interchange their mid-range RX 500 line.
Eagle-eyed Redditors spotted an official product web page itemizing for the Radeon RX 500X series over the weekend, and certain sufficient the web page nonetheless exists even now. There isn’t something there for the time being, however dig slightly deeper and also you’ll discover particular person product pages for playing cards generally known as the RX 580X, RX 570X, RX 560X and RX 550X.
Little is understood about these playing cards proper now given the fairly clean nature of these aforementioned net pages, however we will safely (most likely, possibly) assume that they’ll be tweaked variations of AMD’s present RX 500 collection. The AMD Radeon RX 580, as an illustration, is presently one among our high picks for nice 1440p gaming in our round-up of best graphics cards, whereas the AMD Radeon RX 570 is a superb alternative for these after a 1080p expertise.
The RX 500X variations ought to subsequently enhance on that efficiency and (hopefully) present some a lot wanted competitors for Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1060 and GTX 1050Ti. It’s additionally potential the RX 500X playing cards might embrace quicker reminiscence or ship different enhancements equivalent to a clock velocity enhance characteristic just like AMD’s Extended Frequency Range (XFR) tech of their Ryzen CPUs, however proper now your guess is nearly as good as mine.
We additionally don’t know when these graphics playing cards are prone to be launched, both. I’d be very stunned if we noticed them crop up over the subsequent few weeks, although, as AMD little question have already got their palms full prepping for the launch of their new second era of Ryzen CPUs, presently dubbed Ryzen+.
These Ryzen 2000-series processors have already been allegedly priced and dated for a launch on April 19, so any potential RX 500X launch is prone to be saved till subsequent month on the very earliest, if not later. I doubt we’ll have to attend so long as Computex in June, however I’ll bend my CPU pins if we hear something extra earlier than the top of the month. I’ll carry you extra as quickly as it trickles down our web pipes.
