They will give you almost identical performance. I'd opt for the MSI as its warranty is 3 years versus 2 for Sapphire.

The MSI appears to have a slightly higher clock speed out the box, but it's likely not going to be a huge performance difference. It's nothing you can't do yourself with the Sapphire card. They will perform the same otherwise. They have both had some issues with the fans, which is something that maybe subjective or never happen. The Dual-X is known to be a little noisy, while the Gaming is known to of had an oil/gel leak issue.

Regardless, go with the one you like the best, be it looks or price.
