Radeon R9 390 vs RTX A2000 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the RTX A2000 beats the Radeon R9 390 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon R9 390 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the RTX A2000 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the RTX A2000 has a significantly lower TDP at 70 W when compared to the Radeon R9 390 at 275 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the RTX A2000 is faster than the Radeon R9 390.
