Sapphire R9 390x Nitro Review

Sapphire s radeon r9 390 nitro offers a tremendous value for the money.

Sapphire r9 390x nitro review.

It operates very quietly and has performance that outpaces the competition. Even so the r9 390 managed around a 10 percent increase in clocks. Are they worth buying now that amd has hbm technology in its fury series. The sapphire r9 390 nitro comes with a gpu overclock of 40 mhz out of the box while memory has remained at the amd default of 1500 mhz.

The tri x cooler keeps the gpu at a reasonable. Intelligent fan control and two ball bearings on the fan spindles keep the noise down to an exceptable level. Overclocking the r9 390 sapphire nitro as i mentioned earlier in this review it s currently the heart of the british summer which obviously means higher temps and lower overclockability. In this review we take a look at how sapphire s high end hawaii based tri x r9 390x and midrange tonga based nitro r9 380 stack up against the competition.

Sapphire s nitro edition delivers a tweaked 390 x straight out to box including 8gb of vram and a very nice looking thermal backplate.
