why sapphire why?

[Alurit]

I just bought a sapphire r9 390 1 or 2 months ago and had a huge dilemma over whether or not I should go for the gigabyte one cause even though it had locked voltage and worse cooler it had a backplate and now shops stocking spahhire r9 390's with a backplate

[Nena Trinity]

No worry Sapphire is better!

[zyntaxable]

Whether or not you...?

[kameshss]

[LeonKennedy6]

Then why did you not go with a Msi, PCS+ or XFX card?

[Nacho Marco Segui]

So,you want to change your Sapphire 390 for the gigabyte one because it has a backplate? wtf

[Prysin]

just ask Sapphire customer support if they can send/sell you a backplate...

worst idea ever, seeing how much shit has been going on with Gigabyte and also Asus cards

[Arwanell]

going from Sapphire to Gigabyte is like going from Mercedes to Renault (wait, no it's not because they cost the same....) nevermind

depends which Merc and which renault... Renault, after 2005 is pretty solid cars that doesnt have any more issues then any other brand (compared to Mitsubishi, Citroen, Fiat, Chrysler, Volvo)... Renault prior to 2005, well... my half brother that sells renaults told me to shun them like the plague. Too much issues with those.

 

would be better to say "ferrarri to lada".... but then you realize that if you tried to go offroad racing with a Enzo, the Lada Niva would win hands down. Because the Enzo would get stuck on the first hump.

my aunt has 2009 Megane, had so many problems that she spent so much money she could buy an Audi

hell no, just was considering buying it cause it had a nice backplate, but no voltage control killed the gigabyte version for me

let me guess

 

water leak into the back-light

poor seals around rear hatch

sunroof? if so -> leaks. Engine also dies fast

breakes slightly seizing? probably

the msi was close in price for the gigabyte 390x. the sapphire was 104k huf, and the msi was something like 130k, and shop where I shopped didn't stock xfx and pcs+

her car stopped in the middle of a highway(@140km/h), she could have died, you know how a car that is turned off handles on the road

nearly whole engine had to be replaced

i drove around in a Opel Combo that was like that...

 

thought that combo was more "fun".

No handbrake

collition damage (right front weel was 1.2cm further behind then the left front weel)

broken top gasket

no "load balancing break servo" (meaning if the rear was loaded up, it would, if this system had worked, sent more breaking power to the rear to prevent the car from spinning)

car had mold growing in it

it consumed 3L of oil and coolant A WEEK

 

 

110km/h, third cylinder stopps firing (common occurence)... car goes into "limp mode" (max 30km/h).

has to turn off ignition (no steering servo, no breaking servo). wait. turn on ignition... all while coasting down the highway at 110km/h....

 

that was an exciting car to drive....
