R9 390

Which one is the best card? Asus, sapphire or the others?

Sapphire Nitro or Msi Gaming,

Asus' AMD cards are a joke. As in the Strix 390 is the biggest 390 and still manages to be the worst one.

 

Sapphire for cooling, MSI for overclocking.

[Whorax]

MSI and/or Sapphire.

MSI looks better. The MSI is a 2.5 slot card while the sapphire might have issues fitting into most mid tower cases (unless you take out the drive cages)

You forgot Powercolor = XFX

Meh, not convinced yet. XFX has shown to be a good GPU.

Msi or Sapphire. Some people like EVGA. Stay away from ASUS

The EVGA 390 has VRM cooling issues.

Ah my bad 

[ivan134]

Lol, evga 390?

The FTW edition is due out next week.

Lol, wth man. Stop leading the poor guy on.

[ivan134]

Lol, he'd trolling you. Evga only makes nvidia cards.

Yes, it would be cool though. Bet if EVGA made a AMD card Sapphire would bring back the Vapor X. I'd pay to see that.

Sapphire is probably better. People report much better temps. I have the MSI 390x and it's alright. Not great though

I doubt anyone would buy it though. What would be the advantage? Vapor x 290 let it clock higher than other 290s. Nitro, TF5 and DD 390s can all do that, and Hawaii/Grenada cant seem to get past 1200 MHz, even under water. I really cant think of what would be the selling point of a vapor x 390 (x).

Bling and VRM temps

Bling and VRM temps

Lol, i love blue, but that is not enough. For VRM temps, they just need to revise the current Nitro cooler.

True, but I wish the Nitro came with the color changing LEDs that indicated core temp and the GPU load leds in the backplate. Both extremely useful for monitoring at a glace.

 

WAIT!!! Toxic, 390 Toxic. That tickled just thinking about.

[afyeung]

Funny. That's what I was specifying in another post. The 390x isn't built to overclock at all which is very sad. You either hit the silicon lottery and hit 1200 with <100mv. Or you're like me and can't even get past 1160 with max voltage.
