390 VS 390x

[Maihym]

Should I get a 390 or a 390x? Is there that much of a performance increase that makes it worth getting?

It depends on how much of a price difference there is.

I would personally probably go for the 390.

Well, the R9 390 compares to the GTX 970, while the 390x compares to the 980.

 

It is only an increase of $100 USD, and I believe it is worth it.

10% difference between the 2

Whats the difference in specs and performance though?

[ThomasD]

At the time of my purchase the X was a lot of extra money for a little added benefit.  Prices seem to be drawing tighter now - well under $100 difference lately. 

 

If I was buying today and had the extra dough, I'd go X.

 

Edit:  Oh My

Not worth the extra $100 although.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150727&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= - $40 off as part of sale and the, $30~ rebate (I think)

[Maihym]

Yeah I'll just go for a 390, the x doesn't have a big enough performance difference it seems.

Don't use CancerBoss T_T

390 is better value

390X is 10% faster. That's about it

[i_build_nanosuits]

390X is 7% faster...but like 25% more expensive...it's really not worth it unless there is an amazing deal on a 390X:

I know their scores are bad, but it was the first place i looked that had both sets of specs, and those are accurate.

[FruitBasketSilex]

Yes, but the specs are still accurate. 

 

I know their scores are bullshit, but this information is correct.
