390 or 390x

[N64CUBE]

Is the 390x "worth it" over the 390? Not a lot of benchmarks out there...

keep with the i5 and 390x and be a happy gamer maxing out games at 60 fps

Hopefully I'd pair it with an i5 4690k.

It depends on what you want.

just get a 290x they are basicly the same

[GloriousPain]

if you can afford it and want the best gaming experience, you'd probably go 390x and a lowerend Skylake i5 and a Z170 motherboard that supports non K overclocking and overclock that a bit. in terms of price to performance though OCed haswell and a 390 is probably better

They're the same GPU core, if you get one that has 8GB VRAM, then you should be able to swap the BIOS for a 390x one.

my friends 390 scores 12300-12700 on firestrike, my 390x scores around 13700-14000 on firestrike. Whether its worth is is up to you.

i run all my games a 1440p or 2160p with high or max setting and dont touch the 4gb limmit

Its the same thing, with meaningless vRAM glued on with a different number.

looking to buy sapphire, all their 290/290x cards are more expensive than the 390/390x cards

Why Sapphire?

[N64CUBE]

Love the designs on the coolers, just a personal preference

[N64CUBE]

Why Sapphire?

Besides might as well go for the 8gbs if it's cheaper

All the 390/X have 8g, the MSI overclocks better

That's up to the price and how you deem it "worth it".

If you want a cheap R9 390 this is the one I got. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131672R

[Hero7750]

I have an r9 390 and I didn't see the difference in the 390 vs 390x worth the extra 100$. And all the games I play currently (gta v, rainbow six siege, arma 3, dayz, etc) I play at max settings. I can even play gta v max settings 3200x1800 (vsr enabled)

Did you overclock yours? If so what speeds were you able to reach?

I have not messed with overclocking the card yet.
