MSI, they're kinda at opposite ends of the AMD Graphics card quality spectrum.

Ok, the Asus one just looked better because of the tri cooler and higher clock speed

MSI is #1 for GPUs and motherboards as far as I'm concerned

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Meh.

 

Sapphire have the top tier non reference cooling solutions for Radeon cards, and is indisputable. As for motherboards, i've had a better history with Asrock/Gigabyte boards more than anything else. I tried 3 different MSI boards in the past and all 3 of them had something go wrong.

 

 

@OP 

 

The Sapphire R9 390 Nitro is the best 390 you can get.

try dealing with the customer support with any of those three companies you listed

I have deal with gigabyte and sapphire and well let's say it was less than pleasant. And as rock has a bad rap too.

I've dealt with Sapphire before, and they've been great. Never had to use customer support for anything else, when it comes to PC hardware.

Defenitly the msi.

Also , there is no best 390. The nitro and tri x models are nothing like the previous vapor x models.

i5 2400 | ASUS RTX 4090 TUF OC | Seasonic 1200W Prime Gold | WD Green 120gb | WD Blue 1tb | some ram | a random case

That's right, they're better. The Nitro is stronger and runs cooler than the Vaporx, the Vaporx is better looking though.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Seriously, I have the Vaporx 290 and Nitro 390 in the same case. I'm uniquely qualified to say the Nitro is way better. And that the Vaporx is damn sexy. Too sexy to sell :(
