tech lovers and AMD fans your day hath arrived I'm our you're watching checker tomorrow and today we're taking a test drive of the brand-new r9 390x strict gaming edition from the people over at Asus now this card's overclock out of the box has 8 gigabytes of ram silent fans and just all kinds of crazy stuff so let's check this thing out in depth these new strict series is geared for the hardcore enthusiasts and no corners are ever taken in its design featuring overclocked performance armor protection and superior cooling right out of the box the Strix r9 390x is one of the most thought out AMD cards to hit the market and in a world full of cards it can be confusing to make a Buy and the Strix stands in a league of its own as far as visuals go the Strix is a looker sporting the rogue red and black color scheme and on top we see three triple blade fans now these triple blade fans are something cool they offer 105 percent more air pressure than standard designed fans as well as being three times quieter than referenced designed fans so they're not only pretty they actually work another neat thing is these fans feature 0 DB operation now this may actually confuse some users out there because in certain games like League of Legends Starcraft and others the card actually has the fan not moving at all that's right so you might think hey wow my fans broke but that's not it what it is is the cards running so cool and so efficiently that the fan doesn't need to be at all making zero noise and on the back side of the card you guys can see the Strix owl is staring at you and it's on this awesome protective thing that also shows the Strix nomenclature protective shields are awesome I really love this one as far as going around the card agency's implemented their latest direct cu3 cooling that utilizes the 10 millimeter heat pipe that is 30% cooler and also once again three times quieter than the reference 390x car this new design actually transports 40% more air away from the GPU than previous generation cards so that's a pretty awesome feature and also the cooler that the card runs the better the overclocking is going to be and if you run the card just the way it is out of the box it will actually enhance the lifespan of the card by keeping it running at a standard temperature all along heating up and cooling down are things that make the card die faster and the more you keep that card running and a steady temperature the longer it's going to run the better it's going to run and the better overclocking results you're going to get in the end and as I flip the card around to the side we're gonna see the 2 6 & 8 pin power connectors some more of the cooling apparatus this fixed logo which will light up and then strangely missing there are no crossfire connectors on this card whatsoever which is kind of strange now there're IO flip that around has a single DVID connector a single HDMI and three standard display ports that's the connectivity on the card the card actually is four separate pieces you get the backplate you get the PCB you get the cooling apparatus and finally the triple wind blade fan housing rounds it out the card supports a maximum digital resolution of 4096 by 2160 has 2800 and 16 shaders eight gigabytes of gddr5 memory a 512 bit memory interface and the card comes clocked out of the box at a thousand 70 megahertz power consumption of the card is at 300 watts and like I said before you will need a six pin and eight pin power connector to connect the card and power in your system the card dimensions are as follows eleven point eight by five point four two by one point five seven inches which is thirty by thirteen point seventy seven by four centimeters so we've got you covered no matter where you live Asus engineers have integrated aerospace-grade alloy components to reinforce the overall reliability of the Strix series cards and these cards will now feature an eight phase-- alloy power -
