Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 390X 8GB GDDR5

SAPPHIRE has its Tri-X R9 390X clocked slower than the MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G we tested before this, with the GPU clocked at 1055MHz (versus 1100MHz on the MSI card) and the 8GB of GDDR5 is clocked at 6GHz (1500MHz x 4). This provides the SAPPHIRE Tri-X R9 390X with 384GB/sec of memory bandwidth over its 512-bit bus. The Radeon R9 390X still features the same 2816 stream processors, 76 TMUs, 64 ROPs and 28nm process carried over from the R9 290X. The card is ready for DirectX 12, has support for AMD’s FreeSync, EyeFinity and LiquidVR technologies. Note that the Radeon R9 390X, while it is a brand new card, only supports DirectX 12. NVIDIA has support for DirectX 12.1 in all of its 900 series, including the GeForce GTX 980, GTX 980 Ti, and Titan X.The Radeon R9 390X is virtually identical to the Radeon R9 290X that it is essentially a rebranding of the old product. AMD has pushed the VRAM up to 8GB on the 390X however, as well as tweaking the GPU and RAM clocks.
