R9 380 Brand To Buy

[Yummiesttag]

im going to by the r9 380 but I'm stumped with what brand to get.
My power supply only has 1 6+2 connector and a 6 pin cable

Too early to be sure yet. The cards have been out for less than a week.

Just get an R9 285 (Or better yet, an R9 280X) They have established reliability and performance figures for brands on the older cards. Since the 380 is just a 285 rebadge, and the 280x is better...

Some of them have 2 6pin connectors and some have one 8pin. MSI's 4gb card has 2 x 6pin connectors. Just check on newegg.

I would buy the 280x but it's out my budget and I also want a 4gb card

Unless you're playing at above 1080p, you don't typically need above 3gb.

I do have 3 monitors not in surround but separate

I ended up buying the MSI 380 4GB card
