What GPU to buy?

[L_I_N_U_S]

Hello,

 

I don't know what GPU to buy....

 

My current plan is to buy a 390x with my next build but i heard that it gives off some heat.

 

What are your opinions?

please let me know if you have any other suggestions

 

thanks

The 390x will be fine heat wise as long as you get one with a good cooler, like Sapphire's

390x is really good.

 

Don't confuse yourself.

 

AMD cards tends to produce little more heat than Nvidia. It's normal.

 

But make sure to get a nice card like Sapphire or MSI one.

honestly, unless you live in a horrible climate and dont have airco, the heat isnt a problem.

 

what i do consider every day is the power cost of my systems running, energy prices here in belgium are plain crazy...

I'd honestly get a Sapphire 390 and put the saved money into somewhere else in your build. The 5-10% performance difference isn't worth it for its price difference IMO.

the price difference isnt really that much

if you get Sapphire, there won't be any heat problem

 

but the thing is, 390x is an odd choice, when there are 390 and Fury

$100 USD is quite a lot. The performance isn't largely different at all.

Sapphire/PowerColor/MSI and XFX keep the core well under 75*C. No need to worry about heat.

100$?

I thought the 390 was like £300 when did it go down to £240?
