R9 380 and R9 280x

[FrostBiter]

As im looking into a new graphics card, I ended up choosing either the 380 or 280x.
I cant decide because the both have their pros and cons.
I am gaming on a 1080p res. and I can get the 380 for 250 euros and the 280x for 255 euros

Thanks in advance

They are nearly identical in terms of performance, the 280x edging the 380 slightly. If the 380 has only 2gb vram, get the 280x instead because it has 3gb. If the 380 is the 4gb version then that would be a slightly better purchase.

r9 380x will have directx 12 optimizations feature level 12 and 4gb memory and power consumation lower 225vs 250 vs r9 280x but has only 3gb ram and will have just directx 12 feature level 11.2 so its unknown if it will support games just direct 12
