I found 2 Graphics cards, they are the same price.
Both are: 8GB 512-Bit DDR5
the XFX R9-290X has a Core Clock of 1000MHz and 2816 Stream Processors, with an Effective Memory Clock 5500MHz
the XFX R9-390P has a Core Clock of 1015MHz and 2560 Stream Processors, with an Effective Memory Clock 6.0GHz

So do i go with the faster Memory clock or the one with more stream processors? Which would be better for gaming? Why would one be better then the other.

Solution
more stream processors, as you can overclock memory but you cannot add stream processors.. but why are you getting 8 GB or VRAM? those cards can really only use 4 GB.
