The fans on the 390 DD Core have nine curved blades and a very glossy finish. Oddly enough they didn’t seem to use that space to get even larger fans in even though there is room. The card isn’t as long as the Sapphire 390 but it is still really tall, almost an inch over the top of the PCI slot. The one thing that we do have going on is an all-black design that should match any build you want to put it in. We do still get the dual fan design but this design loses the business formal look of the older cards and isn’t as bold as the 7000 Series. This new design, while still decent looking, doesn’t compare to their previous designs in my opinion.

For the 200 Series launch they dropped the metal fan shroud and went with a great looking blacked out design with a glowing XFX logo. With the 7000 series XFX had a crazy but very unique design that helped them stand out and oozed quality. I will be honest when I say I feel like they are regressing a little at a time. Moving o the 300 series they redesigned their fan shroud to have that same shape. So as it turns out the angular design on the packaging for the XFX R9 390 DD was a hint at wat came inside of the box. One is a two Molex into a single 6-pin adapter and the second converts two six pin cables into one eight pin. For accessories you get two all black adapter cables.

Up under it you will find the driver disc as well as a quick install guide and an install guide for the driver CD (I’ve never seen one of those before). Inside the card is wrapped up in a static protective plastic bag and it sits in a cutout in cardboard. That said I do like the background design tha XFX went with. If nothing else the size of the card would be nice to see to help make sure it will fit If you are buying it in a retail store. Sadly there isn’t a photo of the card you are actually buying on the front or the back or a specification listing. The last section just has a few AMD specific features listed out. The next expands on the feature list and it is highlighted in a bright red. One just lists everything inside of the box an also has a list of the outputs the card has. The background design carries over onto the rear as well. Over on the right are a few key features like the completely unlocked voltage, extended heatpipes, ghost 3.0, and the 8GB ram capacity. The front of the box has a HUGE R9 logo along with a smaller 390 and AMD logos. The background has a black to grey fade that uses triangle shapes.

The outside of the box for the XFX 390 had a completely different look than past XFX cards.

In the past the XFX cards have performed well, but it might have its hand full with the triple fan cooler on the Sapphire. So today I’m going to run the XFX R9 390 Double Dissipation Core Edition through all of our in-game, compute, and synthetic performance tests as well as the more specific per card tests like noise and cooling performance.

This helps put more perspective on their individual performance to find out what card is best for your specific build. This gives us a great chance to compare the cards against each other along with all of the cards previous tested. Well today we get to take a look at what XFX has to offer. Last week I had the chance to check out our first R9 390 with the Sapphire Nitro.
