The Radeon R9 390 is the second fastest model in the series. It has the Grenada Pro – GPU which a whopping 2,560 shader units has – and only slightly less than the significantly more expensive R9 390X – that communicate via a 512-bit wide memory interface with extremely 8 gigabytes of GDDR5 memory , The clock of the GPU lies at 1,010 MHz, the memory operates at 1500 (effective 6000) MHz – thus, the Radeon R9 390 its predecessor, the R9 290, much in the shadows.
To spite of the enormous power that is possible thanks to this technical equipment to enable a cool and quiet, PowerColor equips this variant of the Radeon R9 390 a PCS baptized massive dual slot dual fan cooler. Thus, the card is also very silent under full load, the more but idle – thanks to AMD Zero Core Power and AMD PowerPlay particularly much power is saved here. A chic black aluminum backplate to protect PCBs and for additional cooling completes the package.
The bandwidth for the exchange between video card and motherboard or CPU falls from high, because the R9 390 brings the current interface standard PCI Express 3.0 with up, whereby – given a suitable residual Hardware – the bandwidth over PCIe 2.0 to 16 GB / s doubles. Even otherwise, all modern standards are supported – DirectX 12, AMDs own Mantle API, DisplayPort, FreeSync and Ultra-HD / 4K resolutions are no foreign words for the R9 390 course.
In addition, the card thanks CrossFireX and Eyefinity is very flexible when it comes to support for multi-GPU setups and multiple screens. These can be controlled via two DVI and one HDMI port and one DisplayPort. Power is provided via a 6-pin and one 8-pin PCIe connector for operating a power supply with at least 750 watts is recommended. In order to exploit the full potential of the card in the future, new drivers from AMD or PowerColor should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.
