GeForce GTX TITAN vs Radeon R9 390: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX TITAN vs Radeon R9 390
The GeForce GTX TITAN 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
At 230W against 275W, the GeForce GTX TITAN is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon R9 390 carries 8GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX TITAN. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon R9 390 is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX TITAN (GCN 2.0 vs Kepler), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX TITAN 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 or Radeon R9 390?
The GeForce GTX TITAN 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.
