Gpu Compare r9 380 vs r9 390

[Lubomir_3]

I really want to know if the 150 extra $ deserve the difference in performence between the r9 390 msi gaming 8gb and r9 380 msi gaming 4gb. I will be very thankful if you help me. I will be playing at 1080p.

Yeah I think so. 25-35 fps difference.

The performance difference will be sizable. The difference between buttery smooth 1080p and excellent 1440p vs excellent 1080p.

if you have a working rig now and are thinking of a new gpu hold off both amd and nvida are dropping newer gpu. the newer amd gpu wont be as power hungry as they are now. there also going ot have a wider memory bus.

No exact release date on that yet except for a possible June. Even at that time it's likely that they will sell out very quickly.

I dont have a working rig and i am buying the parts next week. If the difference is big i will buy the r9 390 but i wont buy myself a monitor and if the difference isnt visible i will buy both monitor and graphics card. That is why i am asking you for help. I cant decide.

Two problems with that. One, this website has no credibility and in known to publish clickbait without a source. That brings us to our second point, this article has no source. It's merely "word on the street" which doesn't amount to much. It's pointless to try and convince me that it will, without a doubt, launch at computex because there is no solid proof. Heck, Nvidia hasn't even hinted at it.

Ofcourse there is a visible difference, there is a big gap between the two GPU's. You can push the R9 390 8GB a lot further on graphics settings compared to the R9 380 4GB. The question is, does this matter to you? If highest settings and high fps matters, then get the 390. If this doesn't matter so much and you just want good graphics, quite a bit better than the PS4, then the R9 380 4GB is fine along with a good monitor.

Thank you for the help RCFProd. I am going to buy the r9 390.
