Review: PowerColor DEVIL Radeon R9 390X
We look at the DEVIL from PowerColor in a Radeon R9 390X jacket. A Hybrid cooled product 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.

Why is the Fury X above 980 Ti in the Shadow of Mordor chart?

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.

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

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.

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?
