r9 390 or rx 480

[DeityDeity]

I could either get an R9 390 8GB used for £130 or an RX480 8GB new for £210; I'm unsure of advantages between the two cards so i can't decide which to get, any advice or recommendations are appreciated (though I'd rather stick to AMD since I'm getting a Freesync monitor)

I would recommend going with the RX 480 because it is newer and will gain more and better updates in the time to come. Also, both the cards are pretty similar, with the R9 390 coming in a bit slower, but it is cheaper.

For the money, go for 390. You wont notice the difference. Its almost half price.

depends on your power supply


a 390 requires a good 650w unit

Sorry I have been sleeping aha i have an EVGA 650 GQ power supply so i think that could cope with it im just worried in terms of upgradability and future proofing
