MSI or Sapphire

Both good brands.

Would almost say get the cheaper one. But if they are both the same price I would go for Sapphire.

 

Are these both the 4GB versions by the way?

Whichever option is cheaper, since both cards are excellent. If they both share the same price, then my vote goes to the Sapphire option.

When I go amd I stick to sapphire purely because they manufacture the reference pcb and have good customer service. But msi is still a big name. Pick based on appearance, how it fits your color scheme, and price; performance differences will be marginal

As an Asus owner I can assure you Asus is by far the single worst electronics seller available today.

Asus is the best, MSI is the worst, very bad name in the past.... MSI payed a lot on promos and marketing to change that, but no change on the producs, still the worst! 

you my friend, must go on with the time and look at the current situation!

it's almost the opposite as you said, now Asus is the worst, and MSI is swinging somewhere near the top

HAHAHA

 

Asus on the amd side is bad, sapphire is the best in terms of performance, with msi being in the top three but they have great customer service which some people will prefer

What was in the past is not in the present. MSI is very good, since the 600 series of Nvidia or 6000 series of AMD. Asus however seems to be getting worse over the years. The Strix card on the Nvidia side are not bad.. they are just not great compared to the other cards and on AMD side Asus cards are on the bottom of choice for me.

Sapphire > MSI > XFX > everything else > Gigabyte > ASUS IMO for AMD cards.
