I'm very satisfied with the Sapphire Nitro R9 390

Wow, this is a massive improvement over my R9 270X. I mean, of course I expected improvement, but I wasn't expecting it to perform this much better. My scores in all benchmarks have doubled, including Firestrike, Valley, and Heaven. As of right now I have the Core OC'd at 1120 MHz and the memory at 1600 MHz, and it runs everything stable so far, on full load core temp peaks at 65 C. I have yet to run into any issues, I'm sure I could push more out of it, but I'm already playing everything at well over 60fps at 1080p, it would litereally be pointless, especially since I use my living room TV as my monitor which is only 1080p/60Hz. I'll continue playing around with it though just to see how high it goes.

I don't understand what you mean....? How can I post a status update if I've never had a topic on this before?

On my profile? I'm confused. I don't understand what I did wrong, I see people post topics like this all the time in this section, and now I'm getting crap for it. Nevermind, I apologize to all of you, just ignore this, I will figure out how to delete this topic and I will never share again.

Cool. :) 

 

Now start playing around with VSR and crank your games up to 1440p. Make it work a little harder. ;) You should still get solid performance but your games will look better.

Go onto your profile page and you'll see a place for your own "status update" kind of like on facebook. Usually things like this are posted as status updates instead of a new topic/thread. But no worries, I guess you didn't know.

It's ok. Some people just have to be you-know-whats for trivial reasons. As you said people post threads/topics like this all the time. Don't sweat it. ;)

Very cool, gotta love upgrades! I can't wait until I build a proper gaming system instead of a productivity oriented rig.

This might have been a bit better in the User Reviews section as a post, these sections are usually used for questions.

I'm sure if you ran some benchmarks and fleshed out the original post a little others might find it useful in the Reviews section :)

Welcome to the forum!

Sweet it is impressive isn't it. I went from 270x to strix 390 (I know people hate on it but I have not had issues). Have not even bothered to oc because it runs everything smooth and fast at ultra on base settings. Very good bang for buck card

Welcome to the forum and the Nitro master race. The code word is "mines in the shop", your decoder ring is in the mail.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
