Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far. (Wikipedia).

Out of the box, the Sapphire R9 390X Tri-X 8GB is outperformed by the GTX980, although after pushing it to the limits, it manages to match the Nvidia solution. These are great results however and significantly ahead of the R9 290X Tri-X 8GB.

In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.

Is there any chance of someone being able to give me a rough idea of how this performs in applications like Premiere? I’m undecided on a new graphics card for both gaming and production in Premiere. I’ve heard AMD cards have caught up with NV’s CUDA and I will notice no difference when scrubbing through a timeline with effects on.. is it true?

Our GTX970 sample died last week, and while another is now with us, due to tight time constraints it did not make this particular review. We are reviewing the new Sapphire R9 290 Nitro very soon and those results will make it into that review.
The 970 GTX is a direct competitor to this product and therefore very relevant to this review
Actually the direct competitor to the 970 is the 390, not the 390X (but I get your point). If you still wanna know how they compare, you should check out JayzTwoCents’ video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9cKZiJw6Pk
