What Is The Difference Between These Cards ?

[Sona]

I would like to know if there is any difference in these cards because 1 is over 200 dollars more than the other ?

Brand. That's about it.

[Godlygamer23]

Realistically, they're the same card. There may be clock speed differences though.

Maybe it's different because one is sold by another company and not amazon. They might not have decreased the price yet.

Do you think that the sapphire card would be a good buy ?

yep personally I would go for sapphire over xfx

[salecar3]

same thing different name

[Goldensapling]

That's the R9 295x2 Reference design. I'm assuming they may have mildly different clock speeds, but nothing too much. It's like how the R9 290 has Asus and XFX both making the same reference cooler but with different prices and clocks.

The XFX seems to have a different (slightly thicker) rad.

What CPU do you think would go good with this card ?

Always check who is selling things on Amazon. The XFX card comes from a third-party vendor, and it looks like they're price-gouging. In my experience, that's common.

Some sort of i5-i7, preferably i7. 

[Sona]

whats your price range and gaming only or editing + rendering

Gaming only. 300 to 400 dollars for the CPU

[Aytex]

Gaming only. 300 to 400 dollars for the CPU

gaming only go for the 4690k its only 200 bucks unless you just want an i7 go for the 4790k there isnt a huge fps increase between the two like 3-4 fps
