The R9 390 might be the extreme flagship of the latest GCN 3.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the R9 380 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 199. The good news is, with the release of the R9 380X, the R9 380 's price is getting more discount.
AMD ’s xx80 cards have always been defined by high-end prices with performance that knocks on the door of extreme graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the GCN 3.0 graphics card inside the R9 380, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The R9 380 is much more cheaper than the R9 280 as it costs $ 199. Compare this to the R9 280, AMD Radeon R9 280X, which came originally at a price of $ 279, $ 299. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the GTX 970 which costs $ 329.
Spec for spec, this R9 380 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the R9 280, by boasting 2.1 % more fps. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, GTX 970, the R9 380 was -36.7 % slower.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 76 fps to 76 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 76 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 62 fps to 62 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.
The R9 380 sits between the R9 285 and the R9 280, falling slower than R9 285 by 0.6% and faster than R9 280 by 1.2%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the R9 285. When compared to its lower sibling - the R7 370 - we see a more than 20% faster performance for the R9 380.
The R9 380 sits between the R9 380X and the GTX 960, falling slower than R9 380X by 5.3% and faster than GTX 960 by 0%. It has a strong relative performance against every graphics card here. In addition, the R9 380 was also faster than the R9 280 by a good margin. When compared to its lower sibling - the R7 370 - we see a more than 20% faster performance for the R9 380.
