A Closer Look


The overall look of the card is rather plain and simple, but the weight behind that metal shroud makes this feel extremely robust and hard to break. The trio of fans are simple in design and slightly translucent which works well if you have LEDs in your case.

One this I love about this card is the inclusion of a back plate. It might be simple and possibly generic, but a back plate really adds a premium feel and look to the card while offering advanced cooling the rear mounted components.

The card is slightly larger than the traditional 2 slots so Crossfire might be difficult if you plan on using two lanes next to each other. The heatsink has been cut away slightly around the power connectors to enable easier removal; this is extremely helpful if you have larger hands.

The end of the card is no fuss and functional, the open-ended nature of the shroud really helps with the removal of the hot air, especially when the fans are above 50%.

Something we have to live with on the R9 390 range is the poor output options. Personally I would have removed the lower DVI connector for an addition HDMI or maybe even mini-HDMI or DisplayPort connections.
