ASUS Strix Radeon R9 390X Gaming Graphics Card
Key Features
  • 1070 MHz Core
  • 2816 Stream Processors
  • GCN Architecture
  • 8GB of GDDR5 vRAM
Built for gaming at high resolutions, the ASUS Strix Radeon R9 390X Gaming Graphics Card features 8GB of GDDR5 vRAM for loading large textures and graphics coupled to 2816 Stream Processors running at a base speed of 1070 MHz with a 512-bit memory bus and a 384 GB/s bandwidth. Not only for gaming, the R9 390X GPU is based on AMD's GCN architecture and supports APIs such as OpenCL and OpenGL. These APIs can take advantage of the GPU's 2816 Stream Processors to accelerate parallel computing tasks, taking some of the processing load off of the CPU.

ASUS 390X Strix Overview

Built for gaming at high resolutions, the ASUS Strix Radeon R9 390X Gaming Graphics Card features 8GB of GDDR5 vRAM for loading large textures and graphics coupled to 2816 Stream Processors running at a base speed of 1070 MHz with a 512-bit memory bus and a 384 GB/s bandwidth. Not only for gaming, the R9 390X GPU is based on AMD's GCN architecture and supports APIs such as OpenCL and OpenGL. These APIs can take advantage of the GPU's 2816 Stream Processors to accelerate parallel computing tasks, taking some of the processing load off of the CPU.

The output panel of this card features one DVI-D output, an HDMI output, and three DisplayPort outputs. The HDMI and DisplayPort outputs support resolutions of up to 4096 x 2160 for an immersive gaming experience or for displaying 4K content from providers such as Netflix and YouTube.

For cooling, ASUS implemented their DirectCU III Cooler. It features Triple Wing-Blade fan design and two 10mm direct-GPU contact heat-pipes, which transports heat away from the GPU. 0 dB technology allows for the card to be completely silent when the GPU remains at a set temperature. This type of cooler is most useful in medium to large towers where airflow inside the case is not a concern.

4K Support
Display graphics, games, and video in UHD (3840 x 2160) and Cinema 4K (4096 x 2160) for increased detail on 4K resolution displays. Games which support 4K resolutions will display greater detail for enhanced realism and reduced artifacts. 4K video from services such as Netflix and YouTube can deliver full resolution video for an enhanced media experience.
VSR
AMD's Virtual Super Resolution is a scaling utility. It uses the GPU architecture in order to take advantage of 4K capabilities with lower screen resolutions by having the graphics card render at higher resolutions and then intelligently down-sample the output to fit the smaller screen. Aliasing and jagged artifacts are reduced on down-scaled rendering compared to a native resolution rendering.
FreeSync Technology
AMD's FreeSync Technology allows for communication between the graphics card and a monitor with FreeSync support. Having this communication enables the monitor to dynamically adjust its refresh rate to the frame rate being output by the graphics card, thereby greatly reducing tearing, stuttering, and other artifacts.
Eyefinity
AMD Eyefinity is a multi-display utility which allows you to arrange multiple displays on your desktop. Having multiple displays can increase productivity and also provide a more immersive gaming experience.
FRTC
AMD's Frame Rate Target Control lets you select a target frame rate for the graphics card to maintain. Since the graphics card only has to work as hard as necessary to generate a set frame rate, rather than try to attain unnecessarily high frame rates, game-play will be smoother.
CrossFire
AMD's CrossFire works with compatible motherboards and allows you to install and combine up to four of the same GPUs to split the processing load and render graphics with improved frame rates and image quality in supported applications.
PowerTune Technology
AMD's PowerTune Technology allows the GPU to run at higher clock speeds with sufficient thermal headroom. PowerTune will intelligently adjust the clock speed when the GPU's temperature and power consumption to give the best performance possible at a given temperature.
ZeroCore Power Technology
Shuts down the GPU when not in use to greatly reduce power usage while the card is idle.
TrueAudio Technology
AMD TrueAudio Technology allocates GPU processing to audio, allowing for greater overall audio processing for advanced audio sequences, especially in games.
