390x Buy

I'm dead set on either the Powercolor Devil 390X or the Sapphire 390X tri X oc

Am I rolling the dice on the Devil? Or is the Sapphire (which I can get cheaper than the Devil) the better of the two?

The hybrid design of the Devil looks really iffy to me. Thoughts?

One time I flipped that pretty red switch on the back of the power supply...

Sapphire is great, and it's better than normal Powercolor cards, but Devil would probably be better. It's watercooled and would run considerably cooler so you've got more headroom for overclock

Provided it's not significantly more expensive, get the Devil, if it is, get Sapphire, both are excellent choices

although Sapphire is the AMD king, i would get devil in this case because of watercooling (if the price isn't an issue)

I can get the Sapphire about $40 cheaper is my main issue choosing. Are the thermals really that brutal? I'm running a 590 ATM so the temps shouldn't be that different?

im running the 390x from msi at the moment and their twin Frozr cooling design does well at cooling it and doesnt reach any higher than 70 degrees in flagship games so... it is a hot card, i would be more intrigued by the sapphire card due to its cheaper price and the cooling does still look very sufficient on that card.

I appreciate it guys, I'm going to try the Sapphire, it's already going to run cooler than what I have currently and the price is great. I'll probably apply some arctic silver as soon as I get it.

Also this is going to be my first red team card in the 15 years I've been building. Let's see how this goes ;D
