Overview
The Radeon R9 380 is a mainstream performance card from AMD's 2015 GCN 3 generation, based on the Tonga Pro die and succeeding the R9 280 series. It sits in the upper-midrange segment of the R9 lineup, offering a step up over the R7 370 in shader count and memory bandwidth.
The R9 380 features 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, with a TDP near 190W requiring two 6-pin power connectors. Built on GCN 3, it supports DirectX 12, AMD FreeSync, and TrueAudio Next, but carries no hardware ray tracing or dedicated neural acceleration.
Targeting smooth 1080p gaming and capable 1440p in less demanding titles, the R9 380 suited mainstream gamers who wanted playable frame rates in the AAA titles of its era. Its 4GB VRAM remained adequate for 1080p textures through much of the following console generation.
