Sapphire Tech Radeon NITRO R9 390 8GB GDDR5 video card accessory

SKU CH-ZPWW-QSNXV

Graphics card with 8 GB GDDR5 memory, 512-bit bus and 1040 MHz core clock

  • 8GB GDDR5 memory enables high-resolution textures
  • 512-bit bus width feeds the GPU with massive bandwidth
  • Core clock runs at 1040MHz for strong compute performance
  • Tri-X triple-fan cooler with dual ball bearings keeps temperatures low
  • Metal back plate adds rigidity and protects the PCB

What the NITRO R9 390 delivers

The Sapphire NITRO R9 390 is a graphics card accessory built for desktop PCs that need a discrete GPU with a large frame buffer. It targets enthusiasts and gamers who want 8GB of video memory on a single board for high-resolution textures and multi-monitor setups. The card uses a PCI Express interface and includes a metal back plate for structural rigidity.

8GB GDDR5 capacity and headroom

Eight gigabytes of GDDR5 memory on a 512-bit bus give ample headroom for 1440p gaming and heavy texture mods, while the 1040MHz core clock sustains solid frame rates in modern titles. The 375W power draw marks the practical ceiling; systems with smaller power supplies or limited case airflow will run into thermal and electrical limits before the memory fills.

Display outputs and cooling constraints

The I/O panel provides one HDMI port with 3D support, one DVI-D connector and three DisplayPort sockets for up to four simultaneous displays. Tri-X cooling with dual ball-bearing fans handles the 375W thermal load, but the triple-slot cooler demands generous case clearance and strong chassis airflow to avoid throttling under sustained loads.

Questions about this item

Will this R9 390 fit alongside my older motherboard using a standard PCI-Express slot?

The card uses a PCI-Express interface, so it installs in any compatible full-size slot on an older board.

How can I confirm the 1040MHz core clock is active after installing the Radeon NITRO R9 390?

GPU monitoring software will report the current core frequency; under load it should read 1040MHz for this model.

Does the box include the 8GB GDDR5 memory modules already installed, or must I buy them separately?

The 8GB GDDR5 memory is soldered to the card; nothing extra is needed for the frame buffer.
