AMD has an article here that should help identify which particular card you have. 'R9 200 series' is just referring to that generation of graphics cards, and dxdiag/device manager/whatever you've looked it up on isn't being specific enough. No company I’ve contacted has review units available yet.ĭoes spending $429 on a Radeon R9 390X with 8GB of memory over a $300 R9 290X with 4GB of memory really make sense? Does the newer card offer enough of a performance boost over its predecessor to justify an upgrade? We simply can’t answer those questions yet, and that’s doubly worrisome with the rebranding concerns and unusual lack of early review units-though AMD representative say the new R9 390 and R9 390X both outpunch the older R9 290X flagship. The confusion is probably because you don't know the exact model of your GPU. When queried on Monday, the day before the cards were announced during an E3 livestream, representatives told us to ask board partners (Asus, Sapphire, MSI, etc) for review units. To be honest, none of these cards are likely to provide a satisfactory 4K gaming experience.
For folks solidly in the Team Red camp with no plans to buy anything GeForce, that’s obviously the key comparison-but one we can’t comment on, because AMD didn’t send us units for review ahead of the R7 and R9 300 series launch.ĪMD-supplied benchmarks comparing the new Radeon R9 390 and 390X against Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 970 and 980 at 4K resolution.
