I wish to buy an AIO water cooler for my XFX R9 390X 8GB double dissipation graphics card. But I don't know which exact model I have. Looking at the EKWB water cooler website, they provide the following options (see picture). The other picture is the picture of the tag on the back of the gpu. Could someone help me identify which of the options on the ekwb site, is applicable to my card?

Is it worth it to get a R9 390 (possibly X) used w/o warranty or a RX 480 (4GB) new with warranty? They would total around the same price, as the R9 390 or 390X would require a more expensive psu. I would be gaming in 1080p, but want to game in 1440p so 8gb vram seems a good idea. i'm looking at cards around 160-200 gbp.

Recently, aproximately all my game started lagging and severe frame dropping, and they were perfectly fine 1 week ago with 50 60 fps on max and now they are 40 dropping to 15 20 fps. I did fresh install of windows searched for malware reinstalled drivers but nothing seems to work.

As you might expect, I was originally waiting for Vega. I'll be honest, I was expecting the Ryzen of GPUs. Then Vega got released. So now I'm looking at the possibility of replacing my r9 390x with the 1080ti. I don't have a lot of experience with Nvidia products, (you mean a GTX 1080 isn't indended for 1080p?) as the last Nvidia card I owned cost $30. So I have some questions. First of all, is it worth it? will there be a big performance increase going from 390x to 1080ti? That is the nvidia card to get right? I've been told it's a big improvement over the 1080-non-ti yet only a tiny bit weaker than the Titan XP (seriously? will they call the volta version the Titan Vista?). Can I safely assume that the GTX 1180 or whatever it will be called is still far off? Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

This is my first ever build and it's making me really nervous. Please help me out. While gaming, the GPU usage is all over the place. There was significant stuttering occuring occasionally. Photo below. Even in stress test with and without CPU stressed (AIDA64) GPU is unable to sustain 100% utilisation. Photo below. My temps after stressing both GPU and CPU at the same time are, GPU-76C , CPU- 75C Neither GPU nor CPU is overclocked. Precision core boost on CPU is disabled so it's running at 3500 Mhz without XFR. CPU is able to sustain 100% utilisation during stress test with and without GPU stressed. There are no signs of overheating of either component (as far as I know).

Thanks in advance. PS- I've used several monitoring softwares to measure temps and usage so all of my readings are correct and I have freshly installed Windows 10 yesterday and my graphic drivers are updated.

I just want to share my experience while upgrading/downgrading GPUs on a FX8350 system while playing GTA V. So I first installed GTA V in my system (sig for full specs) a year ago or maybe a year and a half. Back then i was running two 7950s (GHz editions) in crossfire and the game ran smooth if memory serves correctly i maxed everything except for msaa 4x and no resolution scaling everything else was either on or VH/Ultra. No noticeable dips under 40ish fps. A year later I upgraded to a R9 390X and i noticed that i couldnt maintain the settings i had set before. Like really noticeable lower framerate 50-70fps indoors, 50-25fps outside (all over the place). A few days back I received my Vega 64 a quick 50%+ to the power target, 1100mHz on the HBM, max out the fan and let's see what this baby can do. Disappointment to say the least, It ran about the same as the 390X maybe worse (could be due to drivers). A week back I upgraded my brothers PC and had an extra 7970 lying around, had nothing to do and decided to see if I was crazy or what. Popped in the 7970 added a 7950 (would do a 2x 7950 or a 7970+2x7950 but one was burned out from mining) and boom smooth maxed out gaming pleasure once again. I don't get it would be an understatement, everybody will tell you one gpu should perform better than two. there is no crossfire profile selected for GTA V, I even played at 2560x1600 (virtual super resolution) downscaled to 1920x1200 on all configurations. If anybody has some insight or why am i seeing the results i am seeing would be cool. here are the benchmark numbers VEGA: Frames Per Second (Higher is better) Min, Max, Avg Pass 0, 5.842254, 48.535248, 40.773407 Pass 1, 23.678658, 47.395813, 35.800983 Pass 2, 29.391224, 130.599930, 46.043461 Pass 3, 27.021360, 78.758591, 59.972767 Pass 4, 23.681242, 49.259876, 37.061996 Time in milliseconds(ms).

So I recently upgraded my PC with a new case and Watercooler and I've noticed my GPU is hotter. In my old case (Thermaltake V3) I had a case fan on the side panel blowing directly into the GPU and my load temps were about 85c now that I have a new case (Spec-02)they are 94c while playing BF1. there isn't a spot for a side panel fan. I believe the card is getting choked for air. The front of the case has 2 140mm fans blowing into the rad, 2 case fans on the top pull air our and 1 rear fan pulling air out. The PSU is pulling air from the case too the only intake is 1 fan below the GPU blowing into it and the 2 radiator fans, how can I lower the temps?

As the title says im really confused on what should i get between these two cards.. i know they have the same performance but the price is quite different the R9 390x(Tri-X OC 8gb model) cost about $230 while the RX580(Pulse 8Gb Gddr5 OC model) is $280.. so do you think the R9 390x is still a good value? or i should get the RX580 instead? btw im using a i3-6100 processor(but i have plans on getting a i7 7700 or i5 7600 in the future) **Additional Note: Im going to use it for 720p streaming/1080p game recording with a little bit of video editing**

Because no one here seems to know how much anything is meant to cost I have a few choices in what to pick in the $350-360AUD range and I'm looking to see what you guys think about vram. Options below -XFX gtr RX480 8gb -GTX 1060 6gb (gainward or galax) -Asus Strix R9 390x 8gb -Asus Strix R9 Fury 4gb (cheapest option) I play mostly in 1440p 60h, how much vram are people finding their systems are using in general. I'm kind of leaning to just buying the fury and being done with it since it's at a place next to work, and only $345 ($257~USD)

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but oh well. I have an r9 390x (8gb MSI) that I want to sell, mainly because it's unstable and runs hot. I run it underclocked because otherwise it crashes at high load, but while underclocked it is perfectly stable. I was planning to sell it for around $80, possibly a tad lower, because even when underclocked it will vastly outperform anything available near that price range. What do you guys think?

Excluding case size it’s the mini tower though. I have a 650w and got the 24 pin to 8 pin. This pc has uefi bios to use my r9 390x right?

Have an R9 390x, tried it on Asus and MSI z270 board fans spin for half a second and then stop. No boot screen. No bios. Nothing. Tried it in mates pc and it works fine. Tried my 1080 in the z270 system, works perfect. Why wont the R9 390x boot on the z270 system? Is there a comparability issue or something? Been trying and testing for 5 hours to no avail. HELP ME!

Hey guys, For the last year i have been having serious problems with my graphics card (asus r9 390x) overheating. I know it is a hot normally but my pc currently idles at about 50 degrees C and will play games at 95 or just crash. I've stopped playing games for the sake of the card but even videos can take it up to that region. I decided to install further fans and i now have 7 (5 intake, 2 outake). However, this has still not helped. My next step would be to replace the thermal paste on the card but it sounds like a difficult procedure. Attaching a custom cooler might work but would be expensive and i just spent lots on case fans. What do you guys think should be my next step? Thanks in advance,

So I picked up a pair of completely untested R9 390xs for really cheap and they came in so of course the first thing I did was try them as they where. It showed a display, it booted normally into Windows, then bam! Bluescreen as soon as I go to put in my password, I've fixed a number of broken graphics cards but I've never seen this before and the other 390x did the same. I swapped over to the graphics card I was using before and it booted and did things no problem. Put one of the 390xs in, booted to Linux, and it runs completely fine in Linux, threw the other one in to Crossfire test them and it's again, completely fine in Linux. Well, I had a spare hard drive so I decided to make a new Windows install on it and midway through the install it gets stuck on a bluescreen loop, bluescreens, restarts PC, bluescreens, restarts PC and so on. Does anyone know what might be wrong with this? I would take the cards apart to look for any physical damage but if they where damaged in any way I don't know why they would work perfectly fine in Linux, also I don't think it was my Windows install because it would bluescreen while installing Windows on a blank hard drive.

I have had this r9 laying around for a year or so, it was a friends and it developed a issue other randomly crashing very often. Never figured it out but I assume it has something to do with heat. Is there any mods I can try on it, cooling mods and hardware mods alike. I don't care to lose the card do I'm open to any ideas

My buddy gave me a r9 that was overheating like crazy and i decided to whip up some brackets, zipties worked but were ugly af. Later this week i plan on revising it and making it pretty.

I have the choice of two GPUs to use on my new system. The 390X was on my old system and is about a year old, well maintained. The 1060 is brand new.

Hello everyone, I´m thinking about a little upgrade in my PC / Grafik setup and could use a little help from you At the moment I´m using a single MSI R9 390X Card with the default OC from MSI. Anyone know how the Card compares against an MSI RX 480 with OC (with WC)? I can´t find a good benchmark for both cards with decent OC settings... Is a 2nd Card (either 390x or 480) in CF worth it? Thank you Best wishes

Two cards: RX 480 $359.99 CAD R9 390X $339.99 CAD Both cards have 8 GB VRAM and are paired with an i5 6600K, I am planning to do some overclocking and use these cards for roughly 3 years. Which one is the better buy??

Hi, So I'm looking for a new multi GPU setup and I don't know what to get. I know this is a question everyone asks and everyone answers differently. I currently have 1 R9 390x strix in my PC (which is i7 6800k, 16gb Dom Platinum) and I would like a boost as I'm getting a 3 screen setup 1440p very soon. Shall I get another r9 390x or sell that and get 2 1070's? Or even 1 1070? Thanks for any responses in advance!

So, I'm having a bit of a thermal issue, and I really have no idea what else to do besides jumping straight to water cooling the GPUs (Which I really don't want to do as of right now so I'm really hoping the bright people on this forum can help me) I got a new case, hoping my GPU temps would be fixed, but sadly they are the same. The case I have now is the Core P5 from Thermaltake. I have 2 R9 390Xs (crossfire disabled as of right now till I get the thermal issue situated) I have the top card running at 16X pci-e and the bottom card running at 4x as I have it in the lowest PCI-e lane so they wouldn't be sandwiched together as tight. My top card while in game reaches a toasty 94C most of the time which is extremely bothersome as I don't like it running THAT hot. I understand that AMD generally is hot, but I would love for there to be a cheap solution without me having to expand my loop into my GPU as well. Here are some pics so you could get a better idea of my situation. Things I have tired: -Applying aftermarket thermal paste to BOTH gpus -switching case -Spreading GPUs apart (as seen in the picture) -custom fan curve in MSI afterburner

Hello i would like to know if the 390x is worth the extra money compared to the regular 390. The difference is about 60€ for these two models. (sorry, links are in german) http://geizhals.at/sapphire-radeon-r9-390-nitro-backplate-11244-01-20g-a1326323.html http://geizhals.at/sapphire-radeon-r9-390x-nitro-11241-04-20g-a1355667.html How big is the difference performancewise when i plan to play in 1440p? can i even reach steady 144fps with any of those cards on games like Battlefield 3,4? Can i reach steady 60fps on fallout 4 with medium/high settings?

Hey guys. I'm a huge gamer and designer, so that's what I use this rig for. I built the following rig 6 years ago and have been incrementally upgrading things as things have become outdated. I recently ran into the opportunity to acquire a XFX r9 390X for $270, but before I jump on it, will this configuration be able to utilize it well? In all my testing my CPU never seems to get maxed out (tested on Battlefield 4, ARK: Survival Evolved, and Heroes of the Storm)...but I've been out of the market for awhile so I'm rusty. My build as it currently stands is attached/linked...is upgrading to r9 390X a stupid idea?: Bonus Question: can I upgrade the CPU on this motherboard? or would that be a lost cause? Link to my build

I am in need of a graphics card upgrade from my current GT 720. I'm looking at the RX 480 or the R9 390X and need to know which one I should get. Both are more or less the same price.
