In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 390X PowerColor Devil 8GB Edition are massively better than the AMD Radeon R7 350.

The R9 390X has a 100 MHz higher core clock speed and 152 more Texture Mapping Units than the Radeon R7 350. This results in the R9 390X providing 169.6 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The R9 390X has a 100 MHz higher core clock speed and 56 more Render Output Units than the Radeon R7 350. This results in the R9 390X providing 62.4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The Radeon R7 350 was released less than a year after the R9 390X, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.

The R9 390X has 6144 MB more video memory than the Radeon R7 350, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the R9 390X also has superior memory performance overall.

The R9 390X has 316.8 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon R7 350, which means that the memory performance of the R9 390X is massively better than the Radeon R7 350.

The Radeon R9 390X PowerColor Devil 8GB Edition has 2816 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R7 350 has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the R9 390X is 2633 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon R7 350 is 343. The R9 390X having 2290 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the R9 390X delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Radeon R7 350.

The Radeon R9 390X PowerColor Devil 8GB Edition requires 275 Watts to run and the Radeon R7 350 requires 65 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 750 Watts for the R9 390X and a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the Radeon R7 350. The R9 390X requires 210 Watts more than the Radeon R7 350 to run. The difference is significant enough that the R9 390X may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the Radeon R7 350.
