PowerColor DEVIL Radeon R9 390X review



We review the PowerColor DEVIL Radeon R9 390X. This product is Hybrid cooled meaning air for the VRM area and liquid cooling on the Hawaii GPU, now called Grenada. Thanks to this cooler the card hovers just above the 50 Degrees C, that's under full gaming load whilst being factory overclocked towards 1100 MHz on the GPU base clock.

Impressive card: GPU 1100 MHz,VRAM 6100 MHZ.
It has the same performance or better than Gtx 980.
And you dont need the Crossfire bridges.Geez.
This is overclocked version though. With custom GTX 980's you can easily gain extra ~15-20% speed. Custom GTX 980 will be much quieter and consumes less power.
I think they messed up with the cooling. The settings they use are too aggressive assuming that fan and not the pump is making noise.

Performance may be good, but damn the design is really not my cup of tea, not in the slightest.

When you look at calculated tdp 307 watts vs 171 watts for the 980, looks less impressive imo.

Btw I've been wondering about the 62fps on the 290x is that an old score or is it really 19fps slower then 390x in bioshock infinite?
Great review and interesting to see Ashes there
