Uh I hate to pick because it's so hard

[xnoobftw]

Yes, yes we do. His profile lists his PSU as a EVGA G2 550W

My bad Yes OP it's enough! Go for the 390  

[thekeemo]

 

That is very nice but how come it's so much cheaper? Must be something strange... Too good to be true for me

smaller profit margins

same thing with mac vs PC

razer vs logitech

ios vs android

It's called the nvidia royalty payment

390x, It's pretty dank and a great value

[byalexandr]

I've used to have a g600w from CM and it couldn't run my i5 4440 with my 290x without crashes.... Just telling you

And I've run an overclocked 290 on a 400W PSU.

390x, It's pretty dank and a great value

what do you mean the 390X is only like 7% faster than the 390 and it cost almost 100$ more...it won't make any sense mate!

Hmm that is true with the "future" thing of vram

 

 

It's a 550 G2...

AMD has lower profit margins, and usually (nowadays) they don't release new products, only new products to compete with Nvidia's offerings.

Why 390... Explain to me why I should get it.

because its a 390 

[App4that]

Get a 390 with a 550W PSU, we've seen far, far crazier.

 

 

like two and a 750w? muahahahaha!

[i_build_nanosuits]

those are sandwiched very tight bruh...the top card must be running really hot isn't it?

BTW have you got the new card from sapphire?

 

ALSO, i'm running and overclocked i7-4770K and an overclocked 980ti from a 550W PSU and the thing won't even get hot...at all... (the psu i mean, the 980ti yeah that sucker get quite hot...)

screw that 1300w psu for 500w system

I switched'em. I had the 390 on the bottom to give it more air but the 290 is HUGE :lol: . Didn't cause any real issues, but they're happier with the 390 on top.

 

Nope, it was Trixx and Crimson. Have to run the 300 series drivers and Trixx caused memory issues. Went to Afterburner and the 290 was fine, so RMA cancelled

funny thing is i do own a kill-a-watt meter and the most i've seen from my rig from the wall is 405W and that was running a CPU AND a GPU benchmark at the same time (cinebench/unigine) and my PSU is 90% efficiency thus mean only a 365W total power consumption from the whole rig once converted...so i have still nearly 200W headroom...and i have 4 dimm for RAM, 3 SSD, 1 SSHD, nzxt hue lighting etc...

people always go with way overkill PSU which is not a bad thing, but a good 550W gold unit can run ANY single GPU setup you can think of, X99 rig...etc...no problem.

I have ~850w headroom

I can have 2 systems with 390xs on top of this one

It's equivalent to 980 performance at stock so It's a bit more future proof than a 390.

[App4that]

No it's not. They both share the same memory, the extra cost gains you a few extra cores and 2-5fps depending on the game. Nothing that will have it last any longer than the 390. 390 is a much better deal.

[Cookiemonstahr]

First Wolrd Problems, woah. On the other side of the Planet people can't decide between eating sand and live a day more or dying from AIDS a year later.

[hug0mac]

I don't even think the AMD card will fit in my case... Corsair 100R. Can anyone check if that even fit?

[Opeth747]

Why wouldn't it? The MSI 390 is your average length. 

[hug0mac]

I kinda meant height, as even a 212 Evo (cooler) can't fit in my case...

[ShiroArikawa]

Why 390... Explain to me why I should get it.

because people are limping around trying to tell you, I will, the 970 can get around 50 fps on gta 5 Ultra settings, all at maximum almost filling its vram usage past the 3.5 GB mark which as been seen to cause slight stuttering and frame drops at 3844mb usage, which last time I checked it was at, and is slightly less powerful, as well as the 390 receiving around 60-78 or so. in a graphics card only game like tomb raider, for reference if the 970 achieved 100-120 fps the 390 would achieve 130-150 as well as in gta 5 the 390 not using even half of its vram available, and black ops 3 having a certain setting that can use 12gb of vram, the 390 is a pretty purchase especially because of its performance per dollar rank is the highest, stealing it from the 970, or you could wait until pascal or arctic islands came out. Aka 970<390 either way don't get Asus, try for Msi. AMD isn't as bad as you think in the graphics department.

There's nothing crazy about that. A 4960x @ 4.2 GHz and CF 290x uses ~556W. I wonder when this PSU paranoia will end.

 

[toms94z71]

But you just asked for 3-4 years longevity. No one here has any idea how much VRam is needed in 3-4 years.

Yeah 2 years ago 2 gb was plenty enough, and 3gb was insurance, now I am coming close to maxing out 3gb of vram on my 780ti at 1440p on some of the newer games I have, and If got some of the newest releases that  came out past 6 months ago and turned them up to ultra at 1440p I know the 3gb will maxed out. when I upgrade my card 6gb will be the min I get in vram if I want the card to last more then 2 years being able to max out games. I know with my 780ti I could stretch it out to making it last 2 to 3 more years but there will be quite a few games where I will have to turn down settings.
