What gfx card for xmas

[mnc fear]

I have the R9 390. I really like it and the fact it has a 3 year warranty made it more attractive

i would say the sapphire has the better cooler, im not sure but if its like the 290 then sapphire used hynix memory which is supposed to oc better but to be honest ive no clue as to if this applies to the 390 8gb cards

So just overclockibg capability then as at stock there pretty much the same

For +£30, Nitro is better, chances are the Nitro is going to be quieter and clock better too.

I would choose the Sapphire over XFX card , the last 2 XFX cards ive had (6870>7950) were unbearably loud and hot under load (luckily i managed to get a waterblock for my 7950 so wasnt too bad .. ).
