I think clock speeds are the only difference. I'd try to get a Sapphire card instead of a Gigabyte card. Sapphire makes the best AMD cards (In terms of cooling performance).

Get anything but Gigabyte - their 300 series are broken beyond redemption - multiple black screens, broken fans and such

None. They are voltage locked/ bios locked. Get msi/sapphire/xfx/powercolor

Worst case senario:the g1

The site has changed....

G1 Gaming if locked between the two.

 

Though Sapphire is basically the king of AMD GPUs.

Gigabyte's latest cards on both the AMD and Nvidia sides are crap. Your better off going with Sapphire.

Not on Nvidia's side that's for sure lol! But I've heard they lock the voltage on the 390 not sure about the 380.

MSI might be a better choice though instead of Sapphire but they are both good choices.
