390 vs 390X

[AfroLedgend]

I'm picking out a GPU and I had my eye on the R9 390X Tri-X and the R9 390 Nitro from Sapphire and I wanted to know would there be a perceivable difference in performance between the 2. I want to game at 1440P high ish settings in modern games.

390x... Let me find some benchmarks real quick

You would want the 390x then. its like a 980, but 100 dollars cheaper 

[App4that]

The 390x is obviously the more powerful card, but the 390x is no where near the bang for the buck the 390 is. That extra cost only gains you a few fps, as in 2-3.

You're gonna want that 390X for 1440p.

[thekeemo]

Its the difference between a 980 and a 970 (maybe a teensy bit less)

[Morgan MLGman]

290X if you can find it for the price of a 390, if not, then 390X cause all in all it's 1440p

CLOSE to the 980, but not like It, the 980 Is usually ahead by 8-10FPS.

The 390X is about £60 more expensive than the 390 so what I need to figure out is the FPS per dollar difference.

the 390x is worth it if you can afford it

R9 390X = R9 390 +8%

The 390 can do 1440p at highish settings, yes. 390X is not worth it IMHO at this price range just get a 980, it perform better and run cooler/quieter and support all nvidia features etc.

The 390X is about £60 more expensive than the 390 so what I need to figure out is the FPS per dollar difference.

FPS are only one thing to look at. The 390 has 2560 stream processors and the 390x has 2816. That's a sizable jump, and will impact how the card performs in the coming years. I got the 390 because I game at 1080p and have not plans on moving up. You threw down on a 1440 monitor, if I was you I'd get a GPU to match it.

And the 390x has gold trim, which is cool.

Maybe this Friday will bring good deals with it.

980 is around £70-80 more than the 390X so that is far too much for the tiny bump in performance.

yeah, my idea in my post was more like: ''just settle for a 390 since the 390X is only marginally better despite the significant price difference''

The 980 is a sucker bet anyway, the 980ti blows it away for just a little more. Also Fury>980

hmmm actually fuck it get an r9 390. looking at more benchmarks led me to determine that

At 1440 the overclocking potential of the 390x almost makes it worth it though, and gold trim reasons.

[Virtual01]

390X is better, but not worth the extra price for such a small performance gain. It sucks but every card between the 970/390 and the 980ti has pretty terrible price/performance.

Yeah that looks like my best bet I wish the fury was cheaper tho haha. Maybe someday .

Yeah I see that now and its basically the same situation between 390/390X too.

Look, for example in the states you can have this beastly GPU for only 269.99$ after MIR which is fantastic deal IMHO:

this is the cheapest 390X in the states...105$ more...for 8% more perf...really not worth it!

( i know you're not in the states but if the price difference where you are is any similar to this...you know :huh: )
