Which is the Better R9 380?

[jon gerges]

Hello everybody. I'm in need of a graphics card and after many weeks of deciding I locked my self onto an R9 380. I was going to go for a GTX 960 but it was a bit too weak (even thought the 380 is just a rebrand), and the 280x wouldn't have full support for DX 12. I would have gone for the 970, but that's an extra $100 I don't have. I need some help choosing between the Gigabyte version, or the Sapphire version. I've heard great things about the Windforce coolers, but is it worth about the extra 10 dollars? The Gigabyte one also has a backplate. I like the look of the Sapphire one a little bit more though. Someone please help.

Sapphire is the name to beat in AMD cards, I always recommend them.

Thanks for the reply. I decided to go with the Sapphire one. Kind of an off topic question, but do you know if there is going to be an r9 380x?

There were rumors of one a few months back, when the 3xx series was confirmed to be coming out, but I havent seen anything recently.
