PowerColor RedDevil RX590 Graphics Card Review

A Closer Look

The card looks just like all the other Red Devil cards we’ve seen over the years. Sure, some are longer, slimmer, wider, or taller than the other. However, the black and red two-tone metal shroud design is as you would expect from PowerColor. It looks great, and those two huge fans fill me with confidence that this card can keep its heat under control.

There are thick heat pipes running everywhere here, feeding into one of the thickest radiator blocks on any card on the market. There’s some serious heavy metal engineering here. If anything, it’s just a brute force attack to GPU design. Big power delivery, big cooler, big overclocks.

It’ll take power from an 8-pin plus 6-pin cable, while gives us more than enough overhead for overclocking this card even futher.

The card is bulky and quite heavy. However, the full metal back plate makes it even heavier yet also provides even more passive cooling to the PCB, while preventing sagging. Of course, it also gives a boost to the aesthetics.

Overall, it’s a pretty fantastic looking card. Maybe a little aggressive for some peoples tastes I’m sure. However, a card called “Red Devil” doesn’t need to justify it’s extreme looks.

Finally, before we test the card. We can see there are three DisplayPorts, one HDMI, and one DVI-D outputs. That’s more than enough for most setups, especially in this price range.
