If you actually saw MSI'S 390 you know that it's not slapped on its built like a lighting card it's performing better than the sapphire card this time around.

From what I've been hearing on the forums lately the Sapphire one is cooler whereas the MSI one is quieter.

sapphire and msi are best according to most people on the internet and apparently sapphire is louder while on load and msi is quieter on loud and both are silent during idle altho apparently sometimes sapphire can spin 1 of its fan but its near silent apparently. Both are brilliant I would recommend either msi or sapphire I personally am getting msi

ok, thanks!

Leaning towards the sapphire, but I wish it had a backplate like the MSI. Probably just going to get whatever cheaper or the sapphire if theyre the same price
