Cuda maybe?

 

Well, if it is for CUDA or stuff like GameStream then fair enough.

 

Outside of that however, at this juncture, it's better to go with the Red team with the R9 390. Sapphire're generally accepted as being one of the better companies for AMD stuff.

Sorry to interrupt the circle jerk, but what games do you plan on playing? The R9 390 might be a better choice for you. The GTX 970 might too.
