About This Product
The AMD Radeon R9 390X is an older high-end GPU designed for 1080p and some 1440p gaming. With 8GB of GDDR5 VRAM and a 512-bit memory interface, it handles textures well but its Hawaii XT architecture struggles with modern titles at higher settings. It offers performance comparable to an Nvidia GTX 970 or 980, but with higher power consumption.
Pros
- 8GB VRAM for texture-heavy games
- Good for 1080p gaming
- Solid performance for its generation
Cons
- High power consumption (275W TDP)
- Outdated architecture for modern titles
- Large physical size and heat output
Verdict
