I know this question has been answered so so many times, but not enough for me to decide which r9 390 brand to go with.

I want one that has decent cooling, has a good look, a backplate and an acceptable stock out-of-the box core clock and lastly, decent cooling. The backplate is important as looks matter for me ;)
That's why I didn't even think about Sapphire, or else I would've went for it right away .

These are the main cards I'm looking at atm:
1. Asus strix 390
2. MSI 390
3. XFX 390

Help would be really appreciated.

the xfx is generic looking in its backplate


IMO the strix is probably the sexiest of those

the gigabyte g1 has the best backplate though

Oh well, seems like I didn't check the new version of the Sapphire nitro. It has a backplate, even though its like 2 cm shorter than the actual card, I think it'll suffice just because of its cooling :)
Thx zallim, and thank you all for the feedback!
