AMD Radeon R9 390X

For its price, the R9 390X is a great choice and especially worthwhile if you'd like to do your gaming in Full HD at high fps or in 1440p at decent fps. As a 4K GPU, however, this isn't the best card on the market.Check the Price of the MSI R9 390X...

Sapphire's Tri-X card is plenty fast, but it's not very efficient.

MSI has a great build at hand with their gaming edition card, a little bulky maybe, but it ticks all the right boxes and as such can be recommended if you are in the market for a product like this. The MSI Radeon R9-390X Gaming 8G OC is recommended and approved by Guru3D.com if you are upgrading from say the 7800 or 7900 series, as that would make sense. But pricing wise, be on the lookout for good deals on the 290 series.

It does appear to be using the Hawaii GPU that has been on the market since 2013 and the device id in GPU-Z is the same on the 290X/390X. No wonder the GPU cooler on a 390X is interchangeable with the one on the 290X!

It costs much less than you might expect to pay for this level of performance, and does so whilst looking great, being quiet and cool, and generally finding itself utterly deserving of our OC3D Gold Award and your consideration.
