Basically the 370 and 3p and Moba focused, the 380X and 3p, the 390 and 390X are 4K focused, and the Fury line is for 4K and VR. While on our call with AMD they broke down each of their cards focus in an easy to read slide so I’m including it below. First I was curious what the overall focus of the card was. So now that we know the difference between the 380X and the 380 and 390 above and below it lets take a look at where it fits in the product lineup. The 380X has the same 256 bit memory interface but they did double the memory capacity moving it up to 4 gigs as bump up the memory clock speed slightly as well. The R9 380 and R9 380X also share the same clock speed and power usage as well. In fact I think the most interesting thing is that this is the same number of stream processors as the R9 280X had only it was Tahiti based not Tonga. This puts it directly in between the R9 380 and the R9 390 with its 2560 stream processors. This raised the number of stream processors from 1792 to 2048. To expand the performance, they opened things up by going from 112 texture units to 128 texture units. For starters the R9 380X is based on the same Tonga GPU as the R9 380. So today I’m going to dig into the Asus R9 380X Strix and find out what sets the 380X apart from the competition as well as the 380 and 390 that it sits between.īefore I dive into our normal review I did want to take a look at the R9 380X and find out where it fits in AMDs product lineup as well as take a closer look at its specifications. The one glaring omission though has been the lack of a 380X to match the 370X and 390X’s in their product line. Because of that it is nice to have options and for the most part AMD has done a good job filling in the gaps. In other words, you wouldn’t go with a Fury if you could only afford a power supply that would power an R7 370. We have to make sure that no one component gets the biggest portion of the budget, the card has to fit the budget, and it also has to fit with your other components. But the truth is when we are picking out our components it is all a balance.
When it comes to picking out a video card for your PC, I think we would all go with the top end cards if it was possible.
