Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 12 requirement.

Game performance for the Radeon R9 390 Club3D royalQueen OC 8GB Edition where we look at the bigger games played in 2023. Looking closely at the graphics card frame rate performance on Ultra graphics settings at 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions. When considering how well this graphics card can run the 1000 most demanding games available today it can best 363 of the games’ recommended graphics requirements.

Running at 1080p this card gets a weak frame rate from Far Cry 6 with 18 FPS on Ultra. Then we take a look at Star Citizen which is predicted to return a reasonable 46 FPS. Another title that we looked at is the popular Battlefield 2042 which we saw getting a weak 6 FPS.

Increasing resolution to 1440p is something a number of PC gamers are doing today. We tested the Radeon R9 390 Club3D royalQueen OC 8GB Edition at 1440p with Far Cry 6, which got a weak set of FPS results. These were, Low: 35 FPS, Medium: 28 FPS, High: 19 FPS and Ultra: 13 FPS. We then checked out Star Citizen which we predict would have a set of graphics results as followed, L: 93FPS, M: 73FPS, H: 49FPS, U: 35FPS. And another popular game was Battlefield 2042 that returned L: 12FPS, M: 10FPS, H: 6FPS, U: 5FPS at 1440p. 1440p gaming on the Radeon R9 390 Club3D royalQueen OC 8GB Edition is not the best resolution for this GPU, but if you adjust some graphics settings, perhaps lowering to medium or low at 1440p then this graphics card might be ok.
