PowerColor DEVIL Radeon R9 390X review 3

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/07/2015 09:22 AM [ 25 comment(s) ]

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.

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


Just "less impressive"? You simply don't go on AMD. Unfortunately, no matter how you see it, the 980 is clear winner in case you try to compare 'em. 4 extra GB is the only thing the 390 has more, but again, the card can't even run low settings on 4K, so... I don't see any reason.

Yeah, its not like the 390x is an awful performing card or anything, that extra 4gb of vram is useless in single card config except for a handful of modded games.

Id give up my 670 sli for this.
It would match the theme of my build very well.
I had a R9 290 with an AIO on it.
It was really nice.
I dont personally are about power use of the card.
My pc dont run 24/7.

I never understood any of the 300 series normally when a series gets rebranded it gets a cost reduction and a small speed boost this rebrand increased prices on an old gpu by like 150$ for 4gb extra ram?

Such a crazy looking card! Cool to see a DX12 benchmark included as well!
