The AMD Radeon R9 390 features most of what AMD has to offer, and that includes VSR or Virtual Super Resolution, the AMD FreeSync Technology, LiquidVR, FRTC or Frame Rate Target Control, and many more. AMD stated that these cards based on the Granada GPUs are for 4K gaming, but in reality you require at least the top end graphics for the best possible 4K experience. The AMD Radeon R9 390 is essentially the step down model of the R9 390X with less stream processors, less compute units, but with the same 8GB VRAM and 256-bit memory bus. At 350 USD, or at around 17, 500 Pesos local market price, this should be on the league of the venerable factory overclocked GTX 970 cards out there. This card has a 1050 MHz core clock that could go up to 1070 MHz in OC mode – but still, it features a 1500 MHz memory clock to go with the immense amount of VRAM. The card we got here is a non reference factory overclocked variant of the R9 390, dubbed as the ASUS R9 390 STRIX 8GB. Released last year’s June, it is set to go head to head with the GTX 970, possibly beating the crap out of it at higher resolutions with its 8GB VRAM which on paper, should sound great. The AMD Radeon R9 390 is one step further into the realms of the higher end graphics, where it shares the playing field with the GTX 970, the GTX 980, and of course its bigger brother – the R9 390X.
