Fatboy spotted - XFX Radeon RX 590

Fatboy spotted - XFX Radeon RX 590

Just before the weekend, the XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy surfaced onto the web. The XFX card looks rather similar to the RX 580 GTS as it has the very same cooler. 

Specs wise things are different though, the Fatboy OC+ would see a 1600 MHz boost clock, which is a good 200 MHz over XFX's highest clocked RX 580. Would such a Turbo actually stick and not throttle down?

The card could be power hungry, as it has an 8+6-pin power connector. Interesting, it has five display connectors: DVI-I, HDMI and three DisplayPorts.

I assume it refers to fatman /littleboy nuclear warheads, the shape is vaguely projectile like.

That would be pretty much fucked up naming. Anybody plan on releasing twin-tower-boomer (911 edition) video card?

Well, I feel pretty certain, in the absence of any official statement from XFX to the contrary, that the Fatboy moniker is a loose reference to the Harley-Davidson line of motorcycles known as the Fat Boy. And despite claims to the contrary, the last I heard was that Harley-Davidson's official stance on the name was that it did not reference the atomic bomb used during WW2.

We have a 2005 Fat Boy in the family motor-pool. And, yeah, it's pretty fat. So is a Polaris-based graphics card that flirts with 1600+MHz right from the manufacturer. Maybe people wouldn't be so touchy if XFX had called it the Phatboy, but I'm glad they didn't.



P.S. Here's a UK article I just discovered on the H-D Fat Boy:
