Today we have the pleasure of looking at another AMD Radeon R9 390X 8GB video card that is sold under the part number STRIX-R9390X-DC3OC-8GD5-GAMING. This is the flagship Radeon R9 390X by ASUS as they also offer another model with lower clock speeds along with a different PCB design and GPU cooler. The first thing that you need to know about the ASUS Radeon R9 390X STRIX 8GB graphics card is that it was designed from the ground up by the engineers at ASUS and is a fully custom card. ASUS went with the DirectCU III GPU cooler that has triple Wing-Blade 0dB fans sitting above a heatsink that has five heatpipes!

no HDMI 2.0 on this? A little surprising (especially with the price *cough*).

Seems like a decent card but it still uses a ton more power than it should. (yea, like I know how much it should actually use to do what it does LOL but compared to the 970, WOW)

now I will shut up

This IS a rebrand with twice amount of memory (not much difference) and little raise on the speed (You can do it yourself with the 290X), so I can't see why is it more expensive than the 290X, epecialy with no more features. Even if they would of come up with the same price as the 290X it would be still too much because it is old technology now. When the 290X came out it was new. I understand why you guys give this thing a recommended award, because if not, than next time they will forget about sending samples but frankly it is a bull. There is no problem with the review though. Quality review as LR - wish the hardware was as good as the review.
