Radeon R9 390X  vs 390 

I just put the the 390 x Bios on my 390 and got about 40 fps more in BF4, Grid autosport got a huge boost too. I dont understand how but it has made such a performance increase. I was scared to do it, but i hit enter as i cringed and what do you know, all 44 cu active instead of 40. It also clocked the card slightly higher. I was lucky that my card was not hardware locked like most r9 390. It is risky but the 390 has a dual bios switch incase of error. Allthough if you put the wrong bios you may damage the GPU.

gaming 390x - 7.1, 390 - 8.1, 970 - 9.0.... What?

390 is not better... A better value maybe but not performer... ppl...

I have an R9 390 best $400 I ever spent at the time, I must add though if you have a micro case like I do you will need to underclock your gpu. These new cards come factory over clocked, in order to bring them down to AMD standard you need to look at their respective specs. Then use your Radeon driver settings to underclock the card. This is only on micro cases, if you have a full tower you don't need to worry about this.

no...r9 390 will be better..and save the 56 dollars :)

Should i get the 390x for only 56 dollars more?

Thanks. The 390 can be bought for 275 dollars right now, after rebate. It is such a great card for the money!

You made the right choice, 1-5 fps difference between them...

I bought the R9 390 for around $330 USD... maybe I should have just bought the 390X. Oh well.
