AMD R9 390 or the GTX 970? What's your pick?

11:27 Hardware 2 Comments

The AMD's new Radeon R9 390 has just arrived becoming a rival of the GTX 970 !Both GPUs are in the 300 to 400  price dollar range depending from place to place and have their own goods and bads in their own ways which lets you choose what you want. The GTX 970 comes with 3.5 GB + 0.5 GB of VRAM whereas the new R9 390 come with a staggering VRAM of  8 GB !

The R9 390 however is quite a power hungry card for the same price as compared to the GTX 970 which consumes almost half of the power which is consumed by a GTX 970 and also has a higher memory clockspeed.

Both these cards however can easily max out any latest game out there at a resolution of 1080p to 1440p at above 60 fps to below 45 at average but the real question is that which card gives more performance per dollar? Which card is more future proof? For more info and details as well as benchmarks, Watch the video down below  :
