Please tell me what this is capable of

[Prophet_M]

hey guys and gals, I'm doing some research and I need to know what this rig is able to do. 4K, 2K, 1080? Also rendering videos. Thanks

Change processor to an i7-6700k or 5820k and that'd play anything at 1440p easy.

[Smooth Bunz]

2k and 1080p yes 4k meh

[Tedster]

Change processor to an i7-6700k or 5820k and that'd play anything at 1440p easy.

Even a 4690k/4790k. As much as I love the idea of having an FX-9590 it's incredibly stupid and a lot of recent Intel processors will do a lot better than it and consume much less power and will be much less dangerous.

a think an i5 6600k would be sufficient for the purpose of just gaming, but an i7 would do nicely

oh god, 16 GB VRAM

I only have 8 GB of normal ram

Must be able to run 8 K

But I thought rendering liked many threads?

8GB per GPU, it won't stack.

Yes, but that doesn't matter when you have much weaker CPU cores. Intel CPU cores are much stronger than AMD FX ones.

If you go for an Intel 6-core you'll get much better performance.

for gaming 4 fast overclocked cores will be better than a stock speed i7 in all honesty

 

if you need to do media production and stuff like adobe CC you will benefit from an i7

[RetroGamer96]

I would also just get two r9 390 cards. Its close to $200 cheaper and would be the same performance as that dual chip 390x2 card. Unless you just want that so you only have a single card.

Read the last part of the OP. It's says rendering, which is why I said i7.

well shit me sideways and call me Sherly

 

then yes i7 would be a good bet

[Sam Z Man]

Oh dear lord a FX-9590 and 16gb of 2933Mhz ram.

Bro GHz don't matter, mhz don't matter, and core count don't matter, IPC is the god of computing.

[stealth80]

I wouldn't get that 390x2 either, Ive just looked an overclock.net review which shows ok average and high FPS but the low was crap compared to 970SLI/390x cf set ups. For $800 you can't be far off 2x 980 gtx

A little more but better proportioned in my opinion. The PSU and GPU weren't ideal. The 5820k will be great for games and rendering alike and the 980 SLI will trounce the 390x2

8GB RAM, VRAM in crossfire doesn't stack.

I see, i thought it was only one card, so this is two cards stacked together, and sold as one? Pretty wierd concept to sell already crossfiered cards, but ok

They should have named it "PowerColor Radeon R9 390X2 8GBx2 Devil 13 Video Card"

or better yet "PowerColor Radeon R9 390 8GB Devil 13 Video Card x 2"

I thought the X2 was only like a version number

Or the R9 395x2, like the R9 295x2. It's also called a dual GPU board There've been plenty, the 295x2, the Titan Z, the 7990, the GTX 690...etc

didnt know that, although maybe thats because ive never had the money for it

Also, do these run without needing two PCI-E slots? if so then thats really useful because you can save some money from not buying a SLI/crossfire ready motherboard

Both GPUs are on the same PCB, therefore use the same single PCIe x16 slot. There's a crossfire chip built into the PCB so I don't think you'd need a crossfire ready motherboard.
