Radeon R9 390X vs GeForce GTX 760: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon R9 390X vs GeForce GTX 760
The Radeon R9 390X is dramatically faster, around 150% ahead of the GeForce GTX 760. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 760 pulls less power (170W vs 275W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Radeon R9 390X draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. 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 8GB against 2GB, the Radeon R9 390X has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 760's 2GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon R9 390X is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 760 (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 760 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R9 390X 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 760 or Radeon R9 390X?
The Radeon R9 390X is the faster card by about 150%. 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.
