Hi all,

Struggling to make the decision between the KFA2 GTX980 8Pack edition 4GB @£359.99 on OcUK, and any one of the R9 390 8GB edition, which can be had for as much as £150 cheaper on OcUK as well.

Any thoughts?
 
Thanks all, lots of good advice, which has led me towards the 390 camp (rather than the 390X).

There seems to be a range of roughly £80 in the 390s at the moment - £229 for the PowerColor, up to £289 for the Asus Strix, with the MSI and Sapphire sat somewhere in the middle. Any thoughts on which is the best way to go, taking into account RMA/warranty service, extra features etc? Clocks seem to be fairly consistent across the board.

We all know the 390 is the current price/performance king for a lot of us but a 980 HOF for 350 is a bargain. What I mean is if I was buying a card now and had up to 450 which is around what I spent on my Fury Tri-x a couple of months ago I wouldn't go with the Fury or a 390 or 390x. If the black 980 HOF had been at that price then I would have got that.

Fair, but we're talking a more than 50% price increase over a 390 - is the 980 8Pack going to give anywhere near 50% better performance?
