Title: (Newegg) Power Color R9 390 8gb - $270 after $20 mir
Post by: Badwrench on Sat, 19 December 2015, 12:09:57

Newegg has the Power Color R9 390 8gb triple fan gpu for $270 after a $20 mir.  Even at $289 this is a solid deal for a card that is faster than a 970.  If you have the space for it and need to get your 1440p monitor over 60 fps, this will do the trick.

Picture to give you an idea of the size of this thing.

The card is farly loud under load, but does stay fairly cool.  (peaks at ~72c in a CoolerMaster HAF XB)
