Thanks, thought as much, yet was a bit worried about heat and noise. Will hopefully be going the 390x.

I am looking at buying a new GPU- I currently run my PC with a 1080p monitor, and was looking at the R9 390 or GTX 970. However, the R9 390X is on sale for the same price as the R9 390. I am running a 750 watt power supply, so powering these would be no problem. Which would be the best card for a 1080p monitor / possibly a 1440p monitor in the future.

That's only an issue with the Gigabyte and Asus cards. MSI, Sapphire, PowerColor and XFX are all fine

No lol, a 390x makes the 970 it's bitch. The 390x beats the 980 in some cases.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

I know it does, but the OP says he/she will be gaming in 1080p... so what's the point?

The 390x and 980 are the best 1080p GPUs available. The 390x is cheaper. Also a 390x can use VSR to game in 1440 on a 1080p monitor. I do that with my 290. HUGE difference.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Drivers are fine and in the end that 100 more wats will cost you just a few more dollars. If price is an issue for the 390x you just get a 390 anyway cause that is even better then the 970 too.
