While the Radeon R9 290X and 290 were originally launched at US$549 and US$399 respectively, this year’s Radeon R9 390X and 390 come in at just US$429 and US$329 each. This is helped along by the lower launch price of both cards. The majority of consumers instead seek to find a balance between performance and value, and the Radeon R9 390X and 390’s entrance into the upper-end of the mainstream graphics card market could be a boon to consumers looking for performance, but don’t necessarily want to absolute best.

If you’re reading this review, you probably already know that the crowning jewel of AMD’s 2015 graphics card line-up is the newly-coined AMD Radeon R9 Fury X. AMD has broken precedent with its 200-series cards, and the Radeon R9 390X and 390 no longer comprise the best of what AMD has to offer in 2015. The top-end of AMD’s new 300-series of graphics cards just got a lot more interesting. ![]()
