The XFX Radeon R9 390 being a reference design card, does not feature a factory overclock as some such XFX’s other products such as the Double Dissipation models. Fortunately, AMD is expected to release a new lineup of GPUs based on their all-new Polaris architecture later this year. Still, if you’re a current Radeon R9 290 owner, there won’t be enough here to warrant an upgrade. I won’t go as far as to call it and outright rebadge, as AMD has claimed to have made a number of improvements to the underlying components, which allows for improved performance and overclocking. The ‘Grenada Pro’ GPU found in the R9 390, is essentially a refresh of the ‘Hawaii Pro’ GPU found in the previous generation R9 290 (which we also reviewed). #Xfx amd r9 390 drivers pro#The XFX Radeon R9 390 8GB is based on the Grenada Pro architecture. That being said, we were able to find the card for sale at online retailers for ~$319, which is about the same as the company’s non-reference R9 390 DD (Double Dissipation) models. XFX states that this particular design is aimed at “system integrators and small form factor machines” meaning it is aimed at a rather niche market. However, one of those board partners that seems to have missed the old swirly red design is XFX as today we’ll be reviewing the XFX R9 390 4GB, which features the ‘reference style’ blower cooler design. #Xfx amd r9 390 drivers series#It is likely because of this that when AMD launched the refreshed Radeon R9 390 series that cards utilizing the reference design cooler were nowhere to be found, with AMD’s board partners offering only non-reference style coolers. AMD’s reference cooler for many at the time was just too loud and was also unable to cool down their beastly graphics cards for long gaming sessions. Kind of hard to believe how much has changed in just three years, huh? Well, one thing that fans and critics of AMD alike will no doubt also remember from that year was the release of AMD’s flagship Radeon R9 290 series of GPUs, along with their now infamous reference cooler. In 2013, the largest iPhone you could buy was just 4 inches, the average price for a gallon of gas was $3.50, and VR gaming was a thing of the future. courtesy goes out to wccftech, who found them at a Chinese forum, for posting these.… Blast from the past But yeah, expect two SKUs with 4096 and one with 3520 Shader processors running in the 1 GHz marker. The photo's could be demo / engineering samples of some kind and whether or not these are to be the real thing remains a question. The 390X entry would be a GPU with 4096 Shader Processors running / 64 Compute Units at 1GHz with 4GB of graphics memory running at 1.25GHz (= 5Gbps). The card is expected to get 4 or 8 GB HBM memory.
