With recommended gaming resolutions up-to 3840 x 2160 the MSI Radeon R9-390X Gaming 8G OC has features like AMD TrueAudio Technology, and yes, that massive amount of 8GB of memory.

 

 

The card is factory tweaked towards 1100 MHz, that's just 50 Mhz over reference. It is a card that has a seriously proper cooler, a cooler that the GPU deserves and sure, needs. Let me first state that this is the MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G OC edition, that OC in the naming means it is a special SKU that thus comes factory overclocked with the extra 50 MHz on the GPU and an extra 100 Mhz on the memory. You can bet on it that there will be a MSI Radeon R9-390X Gaming 8G non-oc edition as well, clocked at reference frequencies. The performance difference would be minimal, if at all noticeable.

 

At the heart of the MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming OC rests the Hawaii / Grenada GPU with its 6 Billion transistors on a 438 mm2 Die and that 512-bit memory bus with 8 GB 6.1 Gbps GDDR5 memory. A gorgeous looking card alright. That TwinFrozr revision V cooler is very sweet, it really gives overall good temperatures as it can eat away and dissipate almost 500W of heat whilst remaining fairly quiet. As a result, under full load this card manages to hover around ~75 degrees C in our testing. 

The MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G OC has 2816 Stream Processors and a clock Frequency up-to 1100 MHz for this model. A massive 8 GB of 512-bit memory is fitted on there running at 6.1 Gbps. Anyone with a monitor resolution up-to 2560x1440 can play their games at extremely good quality settings, and with a small tweak or two, ultra high definition gaming at that big whopper of a resolution called UHD - 3840 x 2160 pixels. 

 

The card has one full DP, one HDMI and two DVI connectors. So yes, Eyefinity works here perfectly fine as well. It might be a very interesting card with which to set up a cheap desktop multi-monitor setup this way. Not so much for gaming though. AMD allows you to opt for the multi-GPU road with Crossfire as an option. You can pair two in one PC and have them do a decent workout. A Crossfire bridge is no longer needed. The data will be moved over the PCI-Express (preferably 3.0) bus.

 

The card is almost 11 Inches in length which is like 28 cm for those that like and reside in the Metric system. Look at that backplate btw, nice huh!
