With recommended gaming resolutions up-to 3840 x 2160 the Radeon R9-390X Devil has features like AMD TrueAudio Technology, and yes, that massive amount of 8GB of memory. Nice packaging eh ?

It is a card that has a seriously proper cooler, a cooler that the GPU deserves and sure, needs. To keep things cool the card launched with an hybrid cooling solution. So the VRM area is cooled with a fan, the GPU is cooled with a liquid cooler, similar to the one the Fury X uses. Included a big nice special edition Devil mousemat.

At the heart of Radeon R9 390X 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 Gbps GDDR5 memory. A lovely looking card alright. That new cooler is working well, albeit the design is a little less spectacular unless you are at the age of sixteen I am afraid. As a result, under full load this card manages to hover around 50~55 degrees C in our testing.

The Radeon R9 390X GPU 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 an effective data-rate of 6.1 Gbps. Anyone with a monitor resolution up-to 2560x1440 can play their games at extremely good quality settings. The card has one DP, one HDMI and two DVI connectors. 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 roughly 11 Inches in length which is like 27 cm for those that like and reside in the Metric system.
