AMD’s Radeon R9 380 may be a retread of last year’s Radeon R9 285, but with a higher core clock speed and twice the memory, this MSI version manages to perform a bit better than Nvidia’s GTX 960, making it a good choice for gamers with 1080p, 1440p, or 2,560×1,600 screens.

Can a R9 290X run 4k?

Not that the r9 290x is a bad card, it’s not. But if you want to play at 4k you need something better than what you have. For instance, if you were to sell your r9 290x and buy a GTX 980 ti or an r9 Fury X, that card could handle just about any game at 50-60fps at medium to high settings.
