AMD’s Radeon RX 500 series video cards are expected to be a refresh of existing Polaris 10 and Polaris 11 RX 400 series GPUs, but it has nonetheless been a cause of excitement for those looking for alternative value cards to compete with NVIDIA’s current GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti line. The original expected release date for the RX 570/580 was supposed to be April 4th, while the RX 550/560 was due to arrive on April 11th (according to German website Heise.de).
