TUL Corporation, a leading and innovative manufacturer of AMD graphics cards since 1997, has released the Devil R9 390X 8GB GDDR5. It is based on the latest GCN architecture to help deliver outstanding and extraordinary graphics performance and image quality.

Devil R9 390X utilizes 8GB of GDDR5 memory, 2816 stream processors, comes with a core clock speed at 1100MHz, and 1525MHz memory clock speed which is connected via a new high speed 512-bit memory interface. For enhancing power efficiency and preventing losses, Digital PWM solution is provided to work at a higher frequency in order to support fine tuning adjustment and low ripple at an output voltage. Moreover, the total of 8 phases (6+1+1) board design is applied to the product for power efficiency, stability, and delivering ultimate performance at OC mode. PowIRstage increases the power up to 3-13%, features up to 1.0 MHz switching frequency, and supports efficient cooling ability. This model supports Direct 12 and AMD's newest technologies such as Virtual Super Resolution, FreeSync, Liquid VR, and 4K resolution.



The One and Only Hybrid Cooling System in the line of AMD Radeon R9 390X on the Market
Devil R9 390X 8GB GDDR5 adopts the one and only Hybrid Cooling system on the line of AMD Radeon R9 390X on the market. The Hybrid Cooling system not only provides the best environment for extreme OC capability and stability, but also leverages the Smart Air Cooling system to achieve a unique cooling function. The Smart Air Cooling system has a special sensor feature that detects the MOSFET's temperature automatically and controls the fan speed. The exquisite 15 degree upheaved fan top cover design will give the best air flowing from the MOSFET to bracket for a more efficient cooling solution for the card.

With this feature, MOSFET runs more precisely and smoothly, reducing power consumption and prolong fan longevity. The domineering LEDs are attached on the side of the card which makes the card even more aesthetically pleasing to gamers and PC builders of all ages. The Devil R9 390X 8GB GDDR5 is a graphics card that can contribute to many gamers' needs; from playing the current best games on the highest graphics settings to games that will be released in the future, the Devil Hybrid will not disappoint gamers for years to come.

That's a good thing.

But naming and actual color don't work for me, need some blood red on it even a tiny bit :p.

Ah, that's some marketing BS, or if new there's no explanation... we should just believe?

Only Hybrid Cooling
Good thing I clicked the pictures, because from the initial blurb on the home page, I wasn't seeing this was a Water Cooled card. (Not any fault with btarunr). Is it me or does it almost seem they're trying to hide the fact it is Water Cooled? Even PowerColor web page isn't touting the Hybrid Cooling except in one small bullet half way down the page, and again one picture that conveniently seem to hide the tubing. I think the PR folks at PowerColor who wrote the press copy and supplied pictures probably didn't discern the sites just copy and paste their BS, but heck what would you want from someone that probably only has a Masters in Advertising. :shadedshu:

Agree they needed it to have some red, when I first saw it I thought it was an MSI. While true on the fan being angled, there have over the years been others that have done it like that, and in some instances it actually relieves the back pressure on the fans, but it doesn't mean it improves cooling, air flow or noise in all instances. It really depend on the space and other stuff that might/might-not influence actual results.

Tubing or not, I think most people would take interest in 120mm fan block beside the card (It's very unusual to see something like that in GPU official photo).

needs a comparison here with other cards including 290s. My Card is a trislot monster, was actually looking for dual slot, but they have a WB for mine out there
