We review the MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G OC edition. The card's equipped with that renamed Hawaii GPU, now called Grenada. Thanks to a huge triple slot air cooler based on the TwinFrozr V design the product is purring at just roughly 75 Degrees C, that's under full gaming load whilst being factory overclocked and fairly silent.

So it looks like some modest bumps in performance over the 290X. What I was interested in is the power consumption. It's better than the 290X but at 256 watts, it's still nowhere near the 970/980's power sipping, the obvious nvidia competition at this price point. That's unfortunate.

Nice review, as always. (still reading it/them)

What a waste of line up from AMD.So MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming is barely beating GTX 980 Reference.

Look at the price. The 390X is $399, while the 980 is still about $500?

Thats not as bad as I expected ,its very close to 980. If somebody really wants to go for 4k two of these will suffice just fine ,the problem it would be a bad idea to go for sli 980 because you know 4gb vram. And its $70 cheaper than 980.
