AMD Radeon R9 390X
The Radeon R9 390X is an AMD GPU that was released in 2015 June. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 65 points in our PC benchmark.
The Radeon R9 390X has 8 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 375 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 512 bits. If you plan on gaming at higher resolutions with higher quality textures, more memory is important. Without enough memory, performance will be degraded.
In terms of clock speed, the Radeon R9 390X GPU core runs at a frequency of 1050 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1050 MHz. The clock runs at a speed called the clock speed. It dictates the number of updates per second that the GPU can process. Overclocking a chip, which means increasing the clock speed will improve the performance. However, thermals and power efficiency may be diminished.
As for rendering API support, the Radeon R9 390X supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.
The AMD Radeon R9 390X has a TDP of 275W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
