Looking to upgrade from my Gigabyte Radeon RX 460. OC made my GPU unstable so not looking into manually OC but more intrsted in stable drivers and reliability.


Specs
OS:Windows 10x64
CPU: Ryzen 5 1500x
MOBO: MSI B350 Gaming Plus
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB
PSU: Corsair 650w Bronze

Model of your Corsair PSU? how old is it? I'd look at the either of them but the one that was either cheaper or fit the color scheme of the build. Case isn't going to pose as an issue, in terms of clearance?

Color scheme isn't an issue since everything I black but the MB

And got a midtower case

Both are virtually the same card with the exception of a few areas. Here is the comparison.

My last 3 gpu have been gaming x and my next one 100% will be gaming x. I've been so impressed that I will definitely buy gaming x. They impressed me so much I decided to go with msi on next motherboard and so far the tomahawk is amazing.

I bought a 4gb 480 gaming x shortly after release and have had exactly 0 issues. The temps never even touch 70c, ever. Gaming for a hours I go check the highest temp hit and it's like maybe 63 or something really low.

I can't speak to how quiet it is since I always have music going, but I never notice anything.

This assumes the pricing is close. If the other one is 30$+ saving then get it. On my next card if the gaming x is a lot more than another well reviewed model I will buy the other one, but I would pay up to around 30$ more for this model and to have peace of mind. Last thing I ever want to do is have to mail my gpu off
