The main point to grasp about the 390X is that it increased its TDP compared to the 290X... This matters because it will cause more heat in your system, which is undesirable. Still, this doesn’t mean the 390X is inferior or weak. You should make sure your current case or system can handle the extra heat from this upgrade. MSI Afterburner remains the top choice for overclocking, no matter the brand of your 390X.
