Conclusion
PowerColor has done almost all it can to make sure the R9 390 has a good chance in the discrete card market.AMD understands that it needs a solid presence at every key price point. £250 or so has always bought decent performance that while a step or two below the very best, is still the one to go for if value is a concern.
PowerColor rides on the Radeon R9 390 bandwagon with the PCS+ model. Now using an all-metal cooler housing three fans, build quality is excellent.
Performance is analogous to an overclocked GeForce GTX 970, which is to say seamless performance at 1080p and lush framerates at 1440p.
PowerColor has done almost all it can to make sure the R9 390 has a good chance in the discrete card market. The Radeon vs. GeForce debate will carry on, but at £250 the battle is closer than ever. For those that want to go down the red route, PowerColor's PCS+ is a satisfying option.
