R9 290x vs R9 390

[Lucajones1]

Hi
I am going to buy a Sapphire vapor x r9 290x or a R9 390 Nitro. What card is better and can you even buy the Sapphire vapor x r9 290x? The x not just the 290.
Thanks

i would go with the newer r9 390 as it runs cooler and uses less power. plus 8 gigs of vram will help a lot in the future
Performance wise both perform the same, but the r9 390 takes lead in some cases

So the r9 390 is the way to go

I would go for the R9 390 over the 290x, main reason because the 390 has been optimised more and has more vram, so for the future when games gets more demanding, it will outlast the 290x
