The 380 is better. More powerful, with tons of technologies more a consumes a little less.

 

Also it's cheaper for you, so even better.

Build: CPU: Intel i5 4690k OC = 4.4Ghz | GPU: Gigabyte R9 285 OC = 1100/1575MHz | MB: MSI Z97M Gaming | RAM: Corsair 8GB 2133MHz CL9 | Storage: Crucial MX100 512GB Cooler: Thermaltake Frio Silent 14 | Case: Cooltek U3 | PSU: Corsair RM550 | Monitor: Dell UltraSharp 2414h | Keyboard: Steelseries 6gv2 | Mouse: Corsair M95

 

FireStrike score = 7803. Graphic score = 9363 (record single r9 285).

ALL AMD cards can have that black screen issue...Ive had it with 270x/280/280x as well.

Whichever is the fastest for the least amount of dollars.

They are SOOOOO close you wouldn't tell much difference anyway (side by side)

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
