AMD Radeon R9 390: quick answers
Will the AMD Radeon R9 390 run 2027 games?
Of the 19 upcoming games whose publishers have named a graphics card, it meets the recommended card for 1, only the minimum for 7, and falls short of 11.
Is 8 GB of VRAM enough?
For 1080p and most 1440p games, yes. The heaviest recent releases will want textures turned down.
What power supply do I need for the AMD Radeon R9 390?
It is rated at 275 W. With the rest of a typical gaming PC and headroom for power spikes, a good 700 W unit is a safe choice; the PSU calculator works it out for your exact parts.
Is the AMD Radeon R9 390 faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980?
No. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 scores 17/100 against 16/100 in our index.
