XFX= Full cover waterblock available. Good clockers usually, and cooling is sufficient for core, but not stellar, and VRM's tend to get hot

Sapphire= No water block available, but has excellent air cooling. Require 8+8 pin connectors versus 8+6. Some would prefer that, in hopes of obtaining higher OC results, but unfortunately OC results so far on the Nitro and Tri-X are only mediocre-good

Gigabyte= No waterblocks. Well built card, decent cooling, but the voltage is hard locked, so expect clock ceiling to be very limited... most likely 1100 or less.

PowerColor= Offers full cover waterblocks, and also has excellent air cooling, but so far there have only been weak-mediocre-ish overclocking results. 1150 or less on the core seems to be the norm, with most landing between 1130-1140, even despite it's excellent cooling.

MSI= No full cover waterblocks available. Stock air cooling is good but not great with regards to the core temps, but seems to be very good for the VRM temps. So far, these seem to have the best overclocking results. Most poeople hitting 1160-1200

Asus= (DCU2) Full cover block available. Not much info on these, but theyappears to use the same cooler as the 290 series, which was a poor performing cooler. I have seen very few purchasing the Asus card. Overclock results seem to be average so far, but have very little data to make a general claim.

Asus= (Strix) Unsure on waterblocks with these... stock cooling is good. Very little OC information, but from what I have seen, they are average. Probably in line with Sapphire when it comes to binning.

according to my PC specs what is my best option?

I'd go for the Tri-X OC... Sapphire just produces AMD Cards, so they are experienced in building these cards...

i7 6700k - 32GB DDR4-2133 - GTX 980

I'd choose the Sapphire one!

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

Probably the Sapphire one, hands down.

Probably... Hands down.... Bah humbug.

First I'd never recommend a 390x. Doesn't make sense for the premium over the 390.

Second, all three will be within .5-1% of each other so get the one that you like best aesthetically with your build.

Finally, I'm pretty biased here but I think the twin frozer cooler is on of the best I've seen for gpus and absolutely love it on the 980ti, and the 390x version is even stronger (as it should be given its higher tdp).

Sapphire is the best one!

 

Btw if you're doing only 1080p then a single r9 290 is enough. If you want the new stuff go with r9 390. If you want to game at 4k then go with 980ti.

And I just am saying 390x makes no sense.

Get a 390 or a 980 and fuck the 390x because it isn't worth the premium. Same argument that was had back with the 290/290x.

Hawaii is a messed up little gpu core.

the 390x just have more vram and is clocked slightly higher so it wouldnt be that much different at 1080p

you can get the 290x and overclock it yourself

 

if you really have money then maybe go for a 980ti as that would make a framerate difference

If you have the money then go with the gtx 980ti because gtx 980 and r9 390x are just not worth it. You pay so much more for so much less. Maybe for like 10 frames max. 980ti is another story.

Then save 100 more bucks or go with r9 390. There is really no need for that r9 390x/gtx 980. You can overclock r9 390 and get even more fps if you want.

Nitro r9 390 is basically a tri-x just with another name. That one is the best!

Well its not like stepping down to the 390 would take away any VRAM anyway

 

Anyone @ OP, get the Sapphire card! :D

Again. All of the decent ones will preform within 1% of each other so just get the one that matches your build best.

I have no idea what colors or designs your mobo, case, etc are honestly. It wasn't a time I was really familiar with.
