Is it worth buying the Gigabyte G1 R9 380X over a Sapphire Nitro R9 380?

Hi all,

I'm debating over whether to buy a Gigabyte G1 R9 380X over a Sapphire Nitro R9 380 for about £12 more. I know Sapphire is supposedly a better brand for AMD cards, but the 380X is roughly 10% more powerful and has a warranty that is one year longer than the Nitro. Both are 4GB. Is it worth it? I can't find any comparisons online.

Thanks, Harry

I guess it will depend on 1) what games you play, 2) what resolution your monitor is, and 3) what in-game settings you use. But this comparison shows that the 380X is way out in front in some games and barely ahead in others. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1591?vs=1592

I would opt for the more expensive 380X if funds are not tight.
