Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could help me find out which 390 is the best. The reviews are always contradicting, one has no problems the other says don't buy it

Thanks in advance,

Nate

Ps I can afford up to $370 usd

From the post the strix is really bad it has some good reviews

Yeah asus has a lot of brand loyalty but when talking about amd cards sapphire or msi are top tier, sapphire has the best performance while msi make good cards and has great customer service which many people like.

Sapphire's card is really superior because of the 3 fans. A 3 fan MSI would compete just as well. But perosnally my 2 fan MSI never goes over 70C with 40-45% fan speeds on full load.

My MSI is great. Sapphire was too big for my case. If you can fit the Sapphire get it, else get the MSI.

What about MSI VGA R9 380 Gaming 4GB ddr5?

It's a good gpu as well. 2nd best in overclocking. Cools the core nicely as well. The only downside is that the vrm cooling may not be enough if you want to run high overclocks daily. 1100mhz~ should be a fine day to day overclock for that card.

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

Sapphire or MSI, or if you want to save money and get about the same performance get a Sapphire 290.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
