Posted February 4, 2016 Just now, Patrick Bateman said: probably best to ignore dons comments on gigabyte cards which he bases of newegg reviews well...gigabyte has never been brilliant when it comes to GPU's to be brutally honest...but sometimes they come in as being quite a bit cheaper than the others. The windforce cooler is nothing spectacular but it gets the job done and for the price they are nice cards. I would try to aoivd them for higher end budget, for a bloody hot R9 390/390X for example i would avoid gigabyte i would tend to recommend spending an extra 20 or 30$ for an MSI or a sapphire card since you're already spending close to 400$ for it anyways...but for a 200$ budget card i have no problem with a gigabyte card, and the 380X happen to be a very solid deal ATM. | CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v | Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING | CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 | | GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC | RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz | | Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 2 VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 4, 2016 Author Quick question again. What is the performance difference of a R9 380 and an R9 380X? Because I could get an 380 from XFX for $170 instead of Giabytes 380X for $220. They are both 4GB but the XFX card has a clock speed of 990 MHz while the Gigabyte on has 980 MHz These are the cards: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9380p4255 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr938xg1gaming4g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 380X is not worth that price difference. "We also blind small animals with cosmetics. We do not sell cosmetics. We just blind animals." "Please don't mistake us for Equifax.
