Radeon R9 390 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon R9 390 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

The Radeon R9 390 is dramatically faster, around 400% ahead of the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti currently lists from $55 USD, $25 USD less than the Radeon R9 390 at $80 USD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon R9 390 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 244%. The GeForce GTX 750 Ti is trading below its $149 USD MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon R9 390 is trading below its $329 USD MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti is the gentler choice at 60W versus 275W. The Radeon R9 390 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 275W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. 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

The Radeon R9 390 carries 8GB versus 1GB on the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. The extra 7GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti 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 750 Ti or Radeon R9 390?

The Radeon R9 390 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 750 Ti if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon R9 390 better than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti?

The Radeon R9 390 is dramatically faster, roughly 400% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti or the Radeon R9 390?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon R9 390 worth the extra $25 USD over the GeForce GTX 750 Ti?

Often yes — despite the higher price the Radeon R9 390 delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the Radeon R9 390 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 8GB (vs 1GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
