Fundamental to 390X GAMING 8G’s feature-set is the new Twin Frozr V cooling solution. Those with a black and/or red motherboard will be able to pair this card up perfectly and if you’re a fan of MSI’s gaming series then adding this such a card will be a perfect match in terms of aesthetics.


Unlike some of the other graphics cards from MSI which use Twin Frozr V, this latest version utilises a solid metal backplate to give the card rigidity. This backplate has the dragon emblem stamped on it and has a series of perforations to allow some ventilation for the VRMs. This backplate also gives PCB some physical protection – the PCB and chips are fully covered.


The Twin Frozr V cooler uses a dual-cooling fan configuration. MSI has given the fans “Dispersion” blades which scoop more air without increasing drag. This points to 19% more airflow compared to the previous generation of Twin Frozr cooler. MSI also claim this configuration emits less noise too.

Furthermore to this, during idle state the fans cease spinning to reduce noise and extend the lifetime of the bearings.

Along the edge we have the MSI logo and that reoccurring dragon emblem – both illuminate when the card is powered up and the LED can be adjusted within a special software app.


Focusing our attention on the IO area there are an assortment of different ports available.

• Dual-Link DVI-D (Up to 3K @ 60Hz)
• HDMI 1.4a (Up to 4K @ 24Hz)
• DisplayPort 1.2 (Up to 4K @ 60Hz)

To get the most out of this card, if you’re using a 4K monitor it’s better to use a DP cable as 60Hz is an option – unlike HDMI which only supplies lower refresh rates.


On the back edge of the card we have 8+6-pin PCI Express ports. To ensure proper stability, AMD recommend 750W power supply with 50A on the +12v rail.
