This $89 Graphics Card Is Good, But Don’t Buy it…

[@mcslender2965]

So I looked up the actual model and the 590 GME is a real thing. This was a China exclusive GPU and it sits directly between a regular 590 and a 580 (closer to 580 tho), having same base clock as the 580 but slightly higher boost clock. Not sure how it is a scam when the GME was in the listing title. Edit: Alex Hus bought the same card and looked up the GPU hardware ID, it is the ID of the regular 580.

[@plain6637]

dam impressive research props to you

[@evers6214]

If you watched to the end they said this card doesn’t perform like the 590 GME…. Its slower, closer in performance to an rx570 8gb. Flashing the bios doesn’t give it more transistors and its not faster than the rx580 2048 that costs less…. So scammy.

[@loganpaul3330]

cmon guys why are you so lazy, you have reviewed a lot of rx 580 and none of them got the performance this card has, its clearly a rx580 2304 sp. I have also a rx580 2048 sp and there is a big difference. Please do some testing and compare it. Dont just eyeball it. You are professionals !!

[@Akira14496]

you do know that there are versions of rx 580 2304sp now what they are talking about is getting ripped off when you can just get the rx 580 2304sp rather than the fake 590 which cost more

[@brandonquinte9348]

​@@Akira14496 These cards only make sense being sold in Asia. Over here, the 590 GME is $1-5 more expensive than a regular USED 580 2304SP and it's brand new with a warranty. It's a little bit faster too. I love the Toastt Bros but this one did not hit the mark

[@inshallah4280]

Honestly what do u expect from causal pc clowns

[@IcebergTech]

I don't think that's a 2048SP model tbh. Your GPU-Z footage says 2304, which is the correct amount for a "real" 580, 590 or 590 GME. The main silicon difference with the 590 from the 580 was the process shrink, and the GME simply undoes that. So, it's basically a 580 made a couple of years later. You're right, AMD could have called it the 590 GME a 580 and they could have called the 580 2048SP a 570, and been far less shady about it. That's AMD's fault, however, not MLLSE's. MLLSE, Aisurix etc. are possibly selling salvaged ex-mining cards as new, which is IMO far more egregious anyway!

[@duncanagyapong7024]

It's not a scam, you should have done a proper research before condemning this card, RX 590 GME is notably slower than a proper RX 590 - about 10% slower, on paper. MLLSE makes decent and cheap gpu for budget gamers in China.

[@AlexHusTech]

Nope, I've opened mine up, this is a RX580 2304 with a 590GME vbios. I explain it in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aniqomV3rKtpe5o

[@kalark]

I remember when that 590 GME was announced as a chinese only card, most tech review outlets were confused why they were basically just releasing another rx 580 in 2020. It's not really the brand that's scamming, it's AMD releasing this RX 590 GME and calling it a 590

[@thepezfeo]

The 590 was on 12nm, looks like the 590 GME was on 14nm like the 580.

It's basically a slightly lower clocked RX 590 but instead of being a Polaris 30, its Polaris 20 its fine.

[@kinzie3915]

As a tech channel, you should know that 2304 SP has RX580. So that GPU isn't actually RX590 but somehow re-branded and flashed RX580. And you also mentioned that GPU is most likely flashed RX580 2048SP. RX570 has 2048SP not RX580. So these Chinese RX580s are actually RX570s..

[@WolvenSpectre]

... or they are using the shorthand for converting Compute Units to Stream Processors when they mad the box and label. What they should have done was open up the card and check the die. All the info they were shown on the software could be correct. All the 590 GME was was a slightly tuned 580 for better mining than a vanilla 580. Still if that is the fact it doesn't look good for the seller, but this stuff happens with some of the rebuild motherboards as well, so I could see them seeing it as normal business. Now if these cards didn't get 36 CU, well then yes they are a scam. Seen no evidence other than possibly incorrect packaging who someone who buys from China a bunch, isn't abnormal.

[@SirDimpls]

Not an accurate review. Just bought an rx 590 gme. It appears to be an rx 580 (same polaris 20 chip) but actually has lower tdp and a noticable bump to rasterizarion leading to a minor fps bump in most games. It's worth the +$10 for me.

[@ErikS-]

I have one of this companies videocards lying around. An RTX2060 super for something like 200 USD. I bought to see how these rechipped GPU's do... And I wasn't disappointed actually. It works as a normal RTX2060. And no issues at all. I also fitted a PC with a RX5700XT and the performance was pretty similar (as you would expect). I therefore dont think its fair to call these people scammers.

I call them Frankenstein RX580 GPU around $100 this type of GPU for someone currently who is building budget will solve a very big problem. The fact that new games are getting Vram hunger very soon 8GB GPU will not work if you wish to player the newer AAA games So you just spent around $300+ on GPU that has only 8GB Vram a GPU that soon will no longer hit minimum requirements aka 12GB vram. So RX580 8GB Frankenstein GPU for under 100 you save a lot of money and we all know 8GB GPU are soon going to have to upgrade but you can game for now Research on what it get parts to look at you tube review and remember when shopping on line bad review are not fake so read the bad review as they can a better guide the ***** reviews . Having save now self $150 to $200 this can be saved toward a upgrade GPU a 12GB or 16GB GPU or you can use the cash to upgrade the rest of you system and save up a bit longer

[@keoghanwhimsically2268]

ou kept saying 2048 shading units, when your own CPU-Z results showed 2304 at 4:26. Where did you get the 2048 number from, stuck in your head from a RX 570? What you showed seemed to meet all the specs of a RX 590 GME which was a Chinese up tune of a western RX 580, with all the same base specs, process/architecture, transistor count, shading units, etc., but with a bit higher boost clock. The only thing you seemed to have to go on to say it was an actual RX 580 instead, even though your performance showed unexpected improvements on a 580, as you’d expect from a 580 with a higher boost clock that a 590 GME is, was the date on it. But, that could suggest just as well that AMD simply repurposed 580s with better yields as 590 GMEs themselves. I think you lose some credibility yourself by calling it a “scam card” when the evidence you yourself show suggests otherwise.

[@teroxaf]

You keep calling this a scam several times throughout the video, and even pointing out the seller as being dodgy for that. This is simply unprofessional. If you've done a couple seconds of googling you'd find out that this is a legit card. You keep claiming that you're pretty sure this is an edited 580 2048SP, which is in reality an RX 570 (or 480), but then throughout the benchmarks you keep getting surprised about how it performs better than you expected for "what it is". In every single title it performed better than a stock RX 580, as it should (because it is pretty much a factory overclocked 580), meanwhile you keep preaching about how dodgy it is to rebrand an 2048SP as 590. Quote of the year must be "Even though it may not be ok with AMD". Adrenaline & GPU-Z both show very clearly that this is a legit version of the card. You can't fathom the fact that AMD (and Nvidia for that matter) re-release the same processing unit as several GPUs even though they've been doing this for literally years and ALL the indicators pointed to you being wrong. You're blaming the seller for selling you a genuine product, driving customers away from Chinese GPU sellers when they've finally started being clear about what they're selling. This just makes me question your reliability as a product reviewer, nothing more.

A bit harsh calling it a fake card, since they used AMD's own designations for the processor. TechPowerUp's listing for the 590GME says it is the Polaris 20XTR chip;the RX 580 is the Polaris 20 XTX; and only the RX 590 is Polaris 30. Seems less like a manufacturer's scam, than AMD trying to leverage a smaller chip for extra cash. The 580, 590, and 590 GME ALL list as 2304 shaders.

This is not a Radeon RX 580 2048SP, this card is a bios flashed Radeon RX 480. GPU-z reports the chip as an Ellesmere which is from the Artic Islands graphics cards. The reason why you flash bios to Radeon RX 580 GME is because you get the latest driver support. Remember that AMD set its driver support cut off at Radeon RX 4XX series cards. AKA Artic Island graphics cards.
