The R9 390 can handle gaming in Full HD (1080p) resolution extremely well, even with all settings maxed out. Performance in 1440p is also great, averaging 76 FPS in Battlefield 4 with Ultra settings. In Metro Last Light and Very High settings, the R9 390 reaches an average framerate of 53 FPS.
The R9 390 isn't known for its efficiency when it comes to power consumption. For comparison: during full load, a test system with a R9 390 equipped draws 337 watts of power. The same test system running a GTX 970 - which can be considered as the 390's main competitor - only draws 265 watts.
The R9 390 chip has been around for a while, and both NVIDIA and AMD are introducing new mid-range and high-end graphics cards in the remainder of 2016, such as the GTX 1070 by NVIDIA and the RX 480 by AMD. Lower priced cards are expected to launch as well, which would render the R9 390 outdated.
The package of the Devil 13 card is quite extensive and Polorcolor adds a lot of stickers, but a wireless Razer Ouroboros mouse is also included - a gaming mouse that generally retails for $120.
The Devil 13 uses two Raden R9 390 chips, which allows for a lot of performance on a single graphics card. For example, playing GTA V on a Devil 13 in 4K resolution with maximum graphics settings will result in an average framerate of 52.1 FPS - compared to 57.3 FPS of two seperate R9 390X cards in Crossfire.
The Devil 13 R9 390 has been released a while ago and still uses AMD's previous generation R9 390 GPU's. In june 2016, NVIDIA has released their new generation of high-end graphics cards in the GTX 10XX range. AMD is also working on higher-end cards based on their Polaris architecture. Both new generations offer increased performance, significantly lower energy consumption and additional features such as better support for DX12 games.
Although there are no statistics available regarding noise production of the R9 R390, tests indicate that the noise produced by the cooler can definitely be experienced as annoying.
The graphics card requires a whopping four 8-pin PCIe-connectors, with a maximum total power usage of 600 watts. Compared to the latest high-end NVIDIA GPU - the GTX 1080 - that's four times as much.
