Can a AMD Radeon R9 390X run Schedule I?

Yes — with compromises

The AMD Radeon R9 390X clears the minimum bar for Schedule I but sits under the recommended spec. It is playable at around 35 FPS at 1080p on high, and you will get a smoother result on the low preset.

Recommended settings

For 60 FPS at 1080p

Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.

At 1440p

Around 21 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.

At 4K

Around 12 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.

VRAM headroom

At 8GB you are under the 12GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.
