Hi!

I can't decide between these two cards. I'm planning on overclocking, and am really seeking for good performance and good quality. The thing is, I'm planning on building a red themed build and the sapphire is obviously orange while the Asus is red or gold. So now it's pretty much between color and performance I guess. Which one would you go with?

Specs: Asus maximus vi hero
- I7 4770k
- Vengeance 16gb, 240 1866hz
- sdd 250gb

Thanks!

I vote for the Sappphire Vapor-X. The best of the best. The R9 290 or R9 290X. May not be red or match your color scheme, but these boards run silent, cool, overclock nicely, and are built of top quality parts. Read the reviews.

I'd get the Sapphire. It has a much better cooling solution.

I'm getting a 280x so would the vapor-x still be the one or should I go with toxic?
