Based on the boost clock speeds, ASRock's offering is the fastest out of the four graphics card with the Gigabyte model coming in second place. The Sapphire and PowerColor models conform to AMD's reference boost clock speed. Regardless of the model that you pick, you'll need one 8-pin PCIe power cable to power the graphics card. We recommend you have a 500W power supply unit from a reputable vendor inside your system as a minimum.
In addition to the graphics card, you will also receive three months of Xbox Game Pass where you can play Gears 5 and over 100 PC games for free.

NightHawkRMX I would strongly reccomend the Sapphire Pulse RX590.Reply
