Compute benchmarks

To round out the performance testing I also ran the R9 390 Gaming 8G through our compute benchmarks as well. Here we can get an idea of how the card will help with performance in non-gaming applications. The first tests were using Folding at Home’s benchmark. In the single precision test the MSI pulls a very respectable 56.9408 putting it just slightly above the other 390’s but still leaves a big gap between it and the GTX 980. In the double precision benchmark though the tables are completely turned with the MSI R9 390 Gaming 8G all the way at the top of the charts. Nvidia has been cutting double precision performance on their cards to prevent cannibalization of their Quadro cards for a few years now and because of that the AMD cards really shine. The last benchmark uses Cinebench’s OpenGL benchmark to render a video. The resulting average FPS is the benchmark result. Here the Gaming 8G outperformed the other 390’s but came in even below the GTX 950’s.
