PowerColor PCS+ AXR9 390X 8GB Video Card Review

Thief

Thief is a series of stealth video games in which the player takes the role of Garrett, a master thief in a fantasy/steampunk world resembling a cross between the Late Middle Ages and the Victorian era, with more advanced technologies interspersed. Thief is the fourth title in the Thief series, developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix on February 25, 2014.

We ran Thief with the image quality settings set at normal with VSYNC disabled.

Thief appears to be running on the six physical cores of the Intel Core i7-4960X processor and averages around 17-24% CPU usage from what we were able to tell from the CPU utilization meter that is built into the Windows 8.1 task manager.

Benchmark Results: On Thief we found the PowerColor PCS+ AXR9 390X 8GB video card averaging 46.28 FPS and the GeForce GTX 980 coming in with an average of 50.64 FPS. The AMD Radeon R9 290X scored 42.01 FPS, so the 390X was 10.2% faster that 290X reference card.

Benchmark Results: The PowerColor PCS+ AXR9 390X was able to stay several FPS ahead of the Radeon R9 290X for the benchmark run!
