AMD would soon be offering price cuts on their mainstream line of graphics cards based on the Polaris GPU architecture if rumors hold any truth. The mainstream Radeon RX 500 series cards would be the next in line to receive price cuts in the coming weeks as mentioned in a tweet by Bits and Chips.

AMD Radeon RX 590 and Radeon RX 580 Rumored To Get Price Cuts In The Coming Weeks - Prices Down To $229 US and $199 US, Respectively

The rumor states that the cards to be hit with the new price cuts would be the AMD Polaris based mainstream cards. These include the Radeon RX 590 and the Radeon RX 580. The Radeon RX 580 was based on the Polaris 20 GPU architecture while the Radeon RX 590 is based on the Polaris 30 GPU architecture. It was also recently rumored that AMD might be introducing their Radeon Navi GPUs in July aiming the mainstream segment so it's highly likely that they are clearing inventory of Polaris cards before the arrival of next-gen parts.

Rumor: MSRP of RX580 8GB at 199$ and of RX590 at 229$ in next weeks.

Both cards have the same GPU configuration of 2304 stream processors, 144 TMUs and 32 ROPs. Both cards even feature the same memory configuration of 8 GB GDDR5 VRAM, running across a 256-bit wide bus interface at a clock speed of 8000 MHz. The only differences between the cards are their manufacturing process and clock speeds. While the RX 580 is more close to the RX 480 with its 14nm process node and up to 1340 MHz clocks, the RX 590 utilizes the 12nm process to deliver clock speeds of up to1545 MHz.
