Some time ago I wrote the assembler's original 10,000-item budget with an i5 core. I just wanted to say that all 4 people are running, and not even have a fever. I just want to accompany one family to meet the daily audio and video of the family. The machine that the game needs, so put the use of feelings in the first place, pay more attention to the purchase of human interaction equipment. There are value friends Tucao Lao Huang Pascal are released, but also buy R9 390, the most is RX480 Well, but I was equipped with the machine during the double 11 period last year, when Pascal was only old yellow in the conference to see and buy What not to wait, have to wait for half a year?
Given that many valued friends have already issued GTX1080, 1070, and RX480 evaluations, the R9 390 price reduction is bound to be a trend, and also meets the value of some 1K+ graphics card budgets, so I decided to put my Sapphire R9 390 4G Platinum Edition graphics performance. A test and upload up to some value-friends to provide purchase advice (by the way deceived gold coins). As for the current R9 390 value or not, it can only be decided according to their own needs and budget.
One, out of the boxThe graphics card is the start of Jingdong activities. It is currently off the shelf, and Sapphire has also changed the custom version of "Monster Hunter OL" to sell. The overall performance, including interfaces, has been improved. For the time being, this is not a table.
Packaging is still familiar with the packaging design, but the color has changed into a unique purple, does it mean that the 4G R9 390's new innovation?
The lower part of the package is marked with features such as 4GB and 4K. At the same time, a large overclocking mark is also prominent, indicating that this is a non-public version of the overclocked product.
I heard the name of Dongda Daiji used for the first time. I carefully checked the outer packaging, and the seals on both sides were intact. It was just that the opening of the packaging was too tight, and my heart secretly prayed not to engage in tricks.
A kraft box was set in the package, and the carton was opened. LZ's heart-wrenching beliefs lay quietly in the bubble. Compared to the previous simple packaging, this time the sapphire is very careful, and the thick foam around it is strictly protected. Although the graphics card is not an electrostatic bag, it is better than nothing.
At the bottom of the carton there is also a thin carton with empty instructions and drive discs. In fact, this carton cushion also acts as a cushioning protection at the bottom.
The deity presents itself with dual fans. The latest version has been changed to a higher-rated three-fan. Of course, the length has also increased accordingly.
Enhanced metal backplanes, for 2K graphics cards, metal backplanes are also standard, which has played a significant role in preventing future graphics card distortion.
Dual DVI + HDMI + DP interface, normal use enough, of course, dual-screen, unless 1080P, otherwise the interface is slightly insufficient, the latest release of the "Monster Hunter OL" custom version adds 2 DP interface.
Under the double fan is a copper heat pipe that is tightly attached to the chip. The 10mm thick greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency.
The side can see thick heat sink fins.
A key to open the nuclear artifact in this, after playing the game properly.
The power supply interface is 8+6. It is sufficient to use it normally and a little extra. The fly in the ointment is that Sapphire's faith cannot light up and it is not happy.
Summary: This time, Sapphire's new model is packaged with a new color system, while the full package of foam protection is also in place. The appearance and workmanship of the graphics card, although not dismantled, but according to the online dismantling point of view is to use Samsung's GDDR5 memory, power supply for the 6 + 1 phase separated power supply, all solid capacitors, can be described as full of materials, worthy of the majority of fans.
Second, overclocking
Next, I checked the video card in the newly installed host, and then came to a partial close-up.
First introduce my test platform, the monitor is Dell U3415W 21:9 with fish screen. 2K resolution.
Let's test the overclocking performance of this card first.
This is the GPU information when the core is not opened. It can be seen that the number of stream processors is 2560 and the texture unit is 160.
After one key opens the core, the stream processor becomes 2816 and the texture unit becomes 176, which is the same as the R9 390X!
Next, directly adjust the memory frequency to 1375MHz with AMD Crimson, then adjust the GPU frequency to 1050MHz.
At this point, 3DMARK11 and 3DMARK13 can be completely run.
We then adjusted the display core frequency to 1060 and 1070, both of which can normally run two test procedures.
When the GPU frequency is added to 1080, the operating system can be used normally, but 3DMARK runs out of half to jump out and fails.
Summary: As a key to accelerate the product, itself has provided 390X shoulder to shoulder performance, therefore, usually a small super-display core and memory frequency is still possible, at the same time you can see, this video card memory is still very good, can be adjusted directly Up to 1375MHz without being affected.
In order to understand the video card in the hands of the line does not work, or use the score to speak.
In this run, the 3DMARK11 and 3DMARK13 Extreme modes were used to test the three states of unused Nitro Oster mode (unopened core), Nitro Booster mode (open core) and Nitro Booster based on overclocking. Also come to a busy.
Note: Extreme mode of 3DMARK11 supports 1080P, while Extreme mode of 3DMARK is 2K resolution.
1, 3DMARK11
This is the score in the case of unopened nuclear: 4493;
This is a score of 4719 after a key to open the core, which is very significant.
In the case of one-shot open core, the memory frequency exceeds 1375MHz. The scores of the GPU frequency exceeding 1050MHz and 1070MHz are 4848 and 4966, respectively. Compared with the default state at the time of the open core, the score is obviously improved.
2, 3DMARK
This is the score in the case of unopened nuclears: 4875;
This is a score of 4719 after a key to open the core. The increase is also significant.
Then try the overclocked situation, the same memory frequency is higher than 1375MHz, GPU frequency is respectively to 1050MHz and 1070MHz, the score is 5250 and 5325, this time the upgrade is even more obvious, and you can fight 390X!
3, Lu master score is the final entertainment master's running points, everyone right when entertainment.
Unopened nuclear score: 236540
Score after opening the nuclear: 247,543, indeed, as mentioned in the Sapphire advertising, but this test only increased by 5%, not as big as 10% of the advertisement.
Summary: The physical quality of this video card is really good, compared to the unopened state, press the Nitro Booster button after the single run point is still a certain degree of improvement, but also to reach the level of 390X. Therefore, if you want to start 390X but suffer from budgeting, Sapphire R9 390 4G Platinum Edition is also a good choice.
The score is only a fraction of the final score, the graphics card is still good or rely on everyday applications to speak. Because this graphics card emphasizes the application of high resolution, so this article uses two games to do the test, and focus on testing the performance in 2K resolution. These three games are the most popular "League of Legends", shooting single game "Metro: Return" and action type 3D online game "Monster Hunter OL", the test resolution is divided into ordinary 2K (2560X1440, ie 16:9) And special 2K (3440X1440, ie 21:9).
1, "League of Legends"
Under the 3440X1440, all the parameters are set to the highest. You can see that the number of frames can maintain about 280 frames even when you are in a team battle, and sometimes even drop to more than 130 frames. In fact, LOL's requirements for graphics cards are not so high. This is just an appetizer. Look at the 2K resolution 21:9 display effect under the effect of the number of frames can withstand the subsequent game test.
2. "Subway: Return"
First of all, let's take a look at the performance of the graphics card in the unopened state.
In the 3440X1440 resolution, when the picture quality is set to high and texture filtering is turned off, each scene is basically close to 60 frames. It can be said that the entire game is very smooth.
When the system resolution and the game resolution are both set to 2560X1440, the image quality remains high, and when the texture filter is turned off, the same entire process, including the CG animation, is mostly stable at 60 frames, and the performance is very good!
Next, let's take a look at what happens after one key opens the core.
This time under 3440X1440 we adjusted the texture filter to the highest AF16X and the picture quality was adjusted to high. It can be seen that the number of frames has dropped, and in some scenes it will be more than 40 frames, but most of the time it can remain between 5X-60 frames, which is still very smooth.
Keep the 3440X1440 below and the texture filter unchanged, and the picture quality is highest.
In this same scenario, the number of frames has definitely decreased, but basically it is around 40 frames, and there are no problems with smooth games.
What about normal 2K resolution? Let's take a look at the test shots.
When the picture quality was highest, the number of frames could be maintained at 40 frames or more. Most of the scenes were in more than 50 frames, and they performed well.
2, Monster Hunter OL
Next is another game called Monster Hunter OL. Originally thought that online games were not very hard to eat, but after playing for the first time, they would change their views due to realistic characters and complex 3D scenes in the game, and this game produced by CAPCOM was specially optimized for A-cards. , Presumably use Sapphire R9 390 to play better.
In the beginning, we still tested the 3440X1440 resolution in the unopened state. All picture quality is set to the highest
Although it is an online game, this game is based on the stand-alone version of "Monster Hunter" to develop, so 3D results are good. The characters, monsters and the surrounding environment of vegetation, stones look very realistic, blue sky and white clouds also show a real effect.
You can see that this game does eat hardware. The entire testing process has a minimum of 30 frames and a maximum of 50 frames. Then will it be better if the nuclear is opened?
After the core is opened, the same screen settings are maintained, the minimum number of frames can be increased to 33 frames, and some scenes can reach 60 frames, which is still improved. Then let's take a look down the picture without affecting the game experience.
After the picture quality has been reduced from "extremely high" to "high", the number of frames has been significantly improved. Most scenes can maintain 60 frames, and some small complex scenes can be reduced to about 50 frames, and the halo of the sun in the sky can also be seen. The performance is more real.
Summary: The game test has ended, from the above three games tested, Sapphire R9 390 4G Platinum Edition graphics card in 2K resolution, including the normal 16:9 2560X1440 and 21:9 3440X1440, if you want to maintain perfect smooth Game experience, you need to properly reduce the level of quality, so that you can take into account visual effects and game experience; if the parameters are all set to the highest, the number of game frames can be maintained at more than 30 frames, the game can also be more smooth, of course, this Under the circumstances, it is recommended to use sapphire black technology Nitro Booster one-click acceleration, after all, Sapphire free performance-boosting tool, not to use it.
1, power consumption
Regarding the power consumption test, LZ used Furmark to perform many tests, and the power consumption was high in the case of a full load roasting machine.
This is the real-time power consumption after opening a Chrome window and a QQ just after booting. It is similar to the no-load power consumption after the boot. You can see that the power consumption of 46W is still very good.
This is the real-time power consumption of the roasting machine when it is not opened.
This is the real-time power consumption of the roasting machine after opening the core.
The above is just an instant shot of the power consumption graph. Actually, the full power consumption of the roasting machine before and after the nuclear exchange is almost the same, basically all within 340W. My power supply is the Corsair RM750i, the gold medal 750W, considering that my CPU is Skylake i5 , TDP has 65W, so on this card is best equipped with 550W gold or more power supply.
2, temperature
The LZ chassis is the RB3, with a total of three chassis fans on the upper and lower air ducts and the rear. The CPU cooler is the Cool Blizzard Supreme Blizzard T4. Let's take a look at the temperature of the Sapphire.
This is the temperature for only 20 minutes of web browsing after power on. The video card temperature is 29°, normal.
This is the temperature of the unopened roasting machine. The graphics card has soared to 59°, but it is still acceptable.
After opening the nuclear baking machine, the graphics card temperature change is not very large, 61 °.
What makes one eye-popping is that after playing half an hour with "Monster Hunter OL", the temperature of the graphics card is actually higher than the temperature of the roaster, reaching 69 degrees. It can be said that the "Grenada" core of the massage shop (in fact, the core of "Hawaiian" Vest) The temperature control still needs improvement, and it is also recommended that the sapphire's three-fan design with the 390 8G Platinum is better for cooling the GPU.
3, noise
This is no-nuclear noise, 27 decibels. In fact, this noise also includes the noise of the chassis fan and CPU heat sink. As a new machine and a new video card, this noise control is really excellent.
This is the noise of "Monster Hunter OL" when it is not open, 30 dB, although the power consumption has increased greatly, but the noise has changed very little. I think although the noise changes little, but it can not change the temperature of the CPU, there is It must be lost.
This is the noise of running "Monster Hunter OL" after opening the nuclear, 35 decibels, which is only 5 decibels higher than when it was not opened.
Sixth, summaryadvantage:
1, cost-effective, in the R9 390 8G version and the old Huang home GTX970 to kill the wind, 380 and 380X is not enough to fully withstand the GTX960's fight, the 390 reduce the little memory, while increasing the one-click acceleration function, The death of the sapphire in the massage parlor is a wonderful move. It not only gives consumers more choices, but also increases market competitiveness and forces Huang to adjust its market strategy.
2, black technology, a key to speed up, 390 instantly turned 390X, so that ordinary consumers can experience professional DIYer overclocking experience, greatly reducing the threshold for overclocking, but also increased the product selling point;
3, the noise is well controlled, of course, this is the soaring temperature;
4, 2K game performance is excellent, especially after one-button acceleration, in the game even if the maximum or high image quality can still run smoothly;
5. In addition, Sapphire's technical support is also good. 400 phone calls have a short waiting time. They are all engineer one-on-one services and can quickly solve customer queries.
Disadvantages:
1, power consumption is too large, this is the massage shop has always been a problem, in the case of consumers increasingly concerned about energy consumption and environmental protection, the more love the more likely to choose the performance of similar, relatively low power consumption products. If the GTX970 is not at a disadvantage relative to the price, I think the 390's situation will be more dangerous;
2, temperature! temperature! temperature! Important things to say 3 times. Although the noise control in the massage shop did a good job, it was the high temperature of the game. Sapphire is also recommended to use a 390 8G platinum version of the three-fan design, cooling effect will be effectively improved;
3, the interface uses 1DP+1HDMI slightly less, of course, this shortcoming in the current sale of the "Monster Hunter OL" custom version has been improved, Sapphire still able to hear the user opinion.
