Sapphire Tri-X R9 390X 8GB Graphics Card Review
Bioshock Infinite

“BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter like you’ve never seen. Just ask the judges from E3 2011, where the Irrational Games title won over 85 editorial awards, including the Game Critics Awards’ Best of Show. Set in 1912, players assume the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target? Elizabeth, imprisoned since childhood. During their daring escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond — one that lets Booker augment his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. Together, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant zeppelins, and in the clouds, all while learning to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, and immersing players in a story that is not only steeped in profound thrills and surprises, but also invests its characters with what Game Informer called “An amazing experience from beginning to end.” From Bioshockinfinite.com



Knock for knock with the GTX 980 here.









How does this card have a great performance/price ratio if the price is unknown yet?
Kudos for being the first tech site that reviewed the 300 series from AMD ( from what I see).
Because the price isn’t unknown.
I find it intriguing that this seems to be the only review showing any higher memory usage.
I’m beginning to wonder if some 390/X are actually running the old Hawaii core while others are running the *very* slightly updated Grenada (which has 2~5% higher per cycle and about 20~40W lower power draw on the core – which is then used on the RAM and higher clock speeds.).
anything from Sapphire that is not OC AKA Black Screen version?
If you had black screen issue, you probably used ASUS motherboard. I had the same problem and it turned out it was the shitty’s Asus M5A78L-M fault. I had so many problem with this mobo it’s ridiculous. I’ll never take anything else from them.
Did you guys honestly run one compute benchmark and declare Nvidia as the winners? WOW just WOW
When I saw this: GTX970 ROPs: 64 i stopped reading. Gj on your fail
