Sapphire R9 390X Tri-X 8GB Review

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

At the ‘out of the box' clock speeds, the Sapphire R9 390X Tri-X 8GB fails to match the Asus GTX980 Strix. When we overclock the Sapphire card however to the limit, it does manage to push ahead of the Asus card. That said, we know the Asus GTX980 Strix has quite a lot of potential for overclocking too. The older Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X 8GB is outperformed easily by the new Sapphire R9 390X Tri-X 8GB.

    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
