Sapphire Radeon R9 390
Power Consumption – Very Large
Sapphire's Radeon R9 390 Nitro offers a tremendous value for the money. It operates very quietly and has performance that outpaces the competition. The Tri-X cooler keeps the GPU at a reasonable temperature and having 8GB of memory means you'll have roo...
