[sjp3568]

Hey guys -

So I decided to upgrade my GPU to R9 300 series. Should I get 390x or 390? And which brand? Let me know which one you guys prefer, and brief input on why. Thanks!

Here's my list:

390x:
SAPPHIRE 390x : $365 (with rebate)
SAPPHIRE 390x (w/ backplate): $385 (with rebate)
MSI: $350 (with rebate)

390:
SAPPHIRE 390: $290 (with rebate)
MSI: $280 (with rebate)

Let me know! Thanks guys!

What do you intend on doing with it? 1 screen? 2 screens? 1080p? 1440p?

I would go with the R9 390 as it is cheaper, but still a great graphics card. [strike]The Tri-X cooler is over 13in according to Newegg,[/strike] It's actually 12in. if you have space for it go with it, if space is an issue go with MSI R9 390 8GB.

Hey, I will be mostly doing games, BF4, CODBO3, GTA, etc.

1 screen.

1440p if I can pull at least above 60fps! If not, I'll stick with 1080p
