GeForce GTX TITAN Z vs Radeon R9 390: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX TITAN Z vs Radeon R9 390
The GeForce GTX TITAN Z and Radeon R9 390 post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon R9 390 draws just 275W versus 375W for the GeForce GTX TITAN Z, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern GCN 2.0 architecture on a TSMC 28nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 12GB against 8GB, the GeForce GTX TITAN Z has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon R9 390's 8GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX TITAN Z brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R9 390 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX TITAN Z or Radeon R9 390?
The GeForce GTX TITAN Z is the faster card. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
