Still deciding between the Gigabyte R9 390 and the Sapphire R9 390, because I want those 3 display ports. 

 

Which one should I get? I want the one with the best performance and looks great.

Between those 2, definitely the Nitro.

Ok, does anybody else have any ideas?

 

I have done so much research and asked so many people, literally over 20 who have owned the sapphire r9 390 and the MSI R9 390, and so far I have come to the conclusion that they are both the 2 best versions I think. The Sapphire R9 390 has 3 smaller fans that are louder on load but have slightly better temperatures. The MSI has 2 bigger fans but is not as loud as the sapphire r9 390 but has a bit higher temps. The temp difference is not huge from what I heard, but I am going with the MSI, and I think the MSI is a bit better from what I heard.

 

EDIT: Did not realise you were comparing gigabyte and sapphire, I would go with sapphire in that case.
