About average — at $349 USD, the Radeon R9 380X is around its typical 3-month price of $349 USD (12-month median $349 USD).
Overview
The Radeon R9 380X is the fully-enabled Tonga die variant in AMD's 2015 GCN 3 lineup, slotted above the R9 380 with a higher compute unit count and greater shader throughput. It represents the top of the mainstream R9 tier before stepping into the high-end R9 390 series.
Like the R9 380, it carries 4GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus and shares a similar TDP near 190W, also requiring dual 6-pin power connectors. GCN 3 delivers DirectX 12 and AMD FreeSync support, along with TrueAudio Next for hardware audio processing, but there is no ray tracing hardware or dedicated tensor compute on this architecture.
The R9 380X offered a meaningful performance uplift over the base R9 380, making 1080p ultra settings more achievable and giving more headroom at 1440p. It appealed to gamers who wanted to max out their display's capabilities without crossing into the higher power draw and cost of the R9 390.
