• GFX card crapped out on me, looking for a suggestion
    9 replies, posted
Hi, so my Gigabyte 7950 WF3 decided to die so I'm looking to get a new card, preferably better. I don't mind which brand as long as it's reliable. The rest of my specs are as follows: FX8350, 8GB DDR3 @ 666MHz, on an ASRock 990fx Extreme 3. I play at 1080p so no need to shell out for 4k or anything just yet. Looking to spend around 200 quid. Anyone care to help? Thanks xo
AMD 380x hands down. 220-230$
I actually had the 380x in mind! I suppose an extra couple dozen quid won't hurt. [editline]24th December 2015[/editline] Sorry, where did you guys get the prices from? The 390 in the UK is around 350. Quite a lot! Although I found the Sapphire 390 Nitro Tri-X for 250 or MSI's alternative for 265. Seems great! Though the MSI seems to have heating issues? I can't decide.
Sapphire is hands down THE best manufacturer for AMD cards. Nothing but quality.

The MSI is getting reviews for running too hot apparently, and the only other affordable alternative I found was the ASUS Strix, but just looks more like a gimmick.

Btw be aware that the 390 and 390x are different cards.
sapphires warranty is also pretty good. Brother bought a 290 on ebay that was toasted. Sapphire charged him shipping and straightup replaced the card without having any purchasing information.
