Hi so since i cant decide on which... i found a sapphire nitro r9 390 on craigslist for $200 but i also see AMD has released their new RX 480 for $240 and i cant decide which is better. I dont care about power consumption or anything but if i were to overclock the r9 390 would i get the same performance as the RX 480. Thank you.

Honestly the 390 is a little better from the benches I've seen (keep in mind those were reference), so a $200 390 isn't a bad option.

The R9 390 overclocks like butt. So imo I would wait and see how well the third party boards overclock first.
