difference between MSI r9 290x and ASUS r9 290x?

Max33 · May 13, 2014

I'm soon going to be buying a computer so I'm researching a bit. While looking at graphics cards I've noticed that there are different kinds of the same graphics cards. I will probably be getting the gtx 780ti but I'm using the r9 290x as an example here. What is the difference between these and what is the best:

Sapphire radeon r9 290x
Asus radeon r9 290x
XFX radeon r9 290x black
XFX Radeon r9 290x
Sapphire Radeon TRI-X r9 290x
MSI Radeon r9 290x gaming

I've noticed that the pricing is fairly different so I'm guessing the differences are greater than just color and manufacturers. Thank you for helping a noob out

solution will be picked eventually

The difference is the coolers. I'm not sure if any have bothered to do a new pcb

So for some reason I can't reply on phone so I'll just write here. What does pcb mean? Also is cooling the only difference? And which one is the best?

pcb - printed circuit board.

To decide the best - have a look at the links that Pondering sent.

Personally, I think Sapphire make the best R9 290x cards. But next best is the Asus
