Thoughts on GPU choices?

[mhonor]

Hi all -  I'm having a hard time deciding between these GPUs and I'm hoping to get some input. Mainly I'm interested in what everybody thinks is the best deal for price / performance. 

 

MSI r9 380 - $180 (found a deal)

XFX 380x - $210

Sapphire 380x - $225

 

I was going to get a Sapphire 380 but the awesome $174 newegg sale ended before I made a decision...     should I wait a few weeks until there is another sale?

For me i'd go with the XFX or the Sapphire cause as far as i know they are ones who makes the AMD GPU's better but this is only my opinion and as for waiting on another sale if you could still wait then that would be good and you would save a lot.

msi 380, im pretty sure it comes with a free game too, and IMO the 380x's performance increase doesnt really justify the pricetag

XFX 380X is the best deal - it performs 10% better than a 380 (roughly)

Get the cheapest 380X you can find. They are pretty awesome but not worth breaking the bank over since they don't have waterblocks or anything. Personally, if you can I would get a 390 for twice the vram. I know it will stretch your wallet but vram is a major bummer to have too little of. I am speaking from experience with my GTX 770, GTX 750ti, etc.

I'm gaming at 1080p, otherwise I would definitely get a 390.
