The R9 290X saw a refresh to 8GB at one point, but has shipped in both 4GB and 8GB models the 390X is strictly available in its 8GB flavor. It is worth noting that, despite AMD's 4GB HBM solution in Fiji and the Fury X, the R9 390X sticks with 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Read more about texture fill-rate in our drill-down article.ĪMD also increased the memory clock frequency to 1500MHz base, which boosted memory bandwidth to 384GB/s maximum throughput. The clockrate increase impacts other specifications of the card for instance, texture fill-rate is the product of clockrate and TMUs, resulting in a gain to 184.8GT/s from 176GT/s (reference). As with other R300 series video cards, the R9 390X sees a reference clock increase of +50MHz, bringing its stock option to 1050MHz from 1000MHz on the 290X. Changes of note include AMD's power (and, thus, thermal) optimizations and marginal frequency increase. The R9 390X's version of Hawaii has been dubbed “Grenada,” though the core architecture is identical to Hawaii. Everything I'm about to say has already been covered in our R9 390 & R9 380 reviews. At the center of it all is AMD's existing Hawaii arch, which debuted on the 290X, albeit with a slight update. This video card was provided by iBUYPOWER as a loaner for independent review. The MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G is priced at $430. This review of AMD's Radeon R9 390X benchmarks the MSI “Gaming” brand of the card, measuring FPS in the Witcher 3 & more, alongside power and thermal metrics. R300 video cards are purely targeted at gaming at an affordable price-point, something AMD has clung to for a number of years at this point. The R300 series has adapted existing R200 architecture to the modern era, filling some of the market gap while AMD levies its Fiji platform. We've returned to the world of graphics to look at MSI's take on the AMD Radeon R9 390X, part of the R300 series of refreshed GPUs. Over the last few months, we've reviewed the GTX 980 Ti Hybrid (which won Editor's Choice & Best of Bench awards), the R9 Fury X, the R9 390 & 380, an A10-7870K APU, and Intel's i7-6700K. – To Download the latest PhoenixMiner 5.The hardware industry has been spitting out launches at a rate difficult to follow.

Again, in order to be able to get the optimal mining performance for Ethereum on these Hawaii GPUs you need to stick to Linux, Windows is not an option for the full performance and HiveOS just makes it easy. HiveOS simplifies getting a mining rig with AMD Radeon R9 290/390 GPUs ready for mining Ethereum (ETH) with the full 29+ MHS hashrate. If you are not very good with Linux you can make your life much easier with a dedicated crypto mining operating system such as HiveOS.

What you need to do is to make sure you have up to date video drivers and that you are using the latest version of PhoenixMiner in order to be able to fully utilize the Radeon R9 290/390 GPUs for mining Ethereum (ETH).
#AMD RADEON R9 390 FOR WINDOWS 10#
It is only possible to do it under Linux as the AMD video drivers for Windows 10 do not feature support for Compute Mode for Hawaii GPUs and you can get only 14-15 MHS, but the Linux drivers do and you get 29-30 MHS. With Radeon R9 290/390 GPUs there is a bit of a catch in order to get 29-30 MHS Ethash mining hashrate with about 150-200W of power usage per video card (with optimized video BIOS for lower power usage). You can be getting about 29-30 MHS hashrate for mining Ethereum (ETH) with these, although they are more power hungry than more recent GPUs that offer the same performance it is still worth it with high mining profit we have at the moment. The Hawaii and Grenada GPUs that these Radeon video cards use feature a 512-bit wide memory bus and that is more than welcome for mining Ethereum, even if they are already pretty old. It is time to dust off those old AMD Radeon R9 290/290X and Radeon R9 390/390X GPUs with 8G VRAM you may have lying around and wondering what to do and make them mine Ethereum (ETH) with full power and some nice profit as well.
