Sapphire R9 390X Tri-X 8GB Review

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a first-person or third-person view. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story.

Outside of missions, players can freely roam the open world. Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world of Grand Theft Auto V is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series.

The world may be fully explored from the beginning of the game without restrictions, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content. (Wikipedia).

We maximised every slider – FXAA was enabled, although we left all other Anti Aliasing settings disabled – based on reader feedback from previous reviews. ‘Ignore Suggested Limits’ was turned ‘ON’. We found some intensive sections of the Grand Theft Auto 5 world and tested each card multiple times to confirm accuracy. The game demanded around 3.5GB of GPU memory at 1440p and just over 4GB at 4K.

Perfectly playable at 1440p, holding over 30 frames at all times.

    would’ve been nice to have a 970 in the charts

  7. 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? I can’t find any factual information on this, especially regarding graphics cards from the past year or so.

  9. 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

  11. 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
