Which manufacturer is more reliable? There's a very small £5 difference between the two right now so the price is not an issue. I hope I never have to contact a manufacturer about a GPU problem, but if it came to that which of these two would be more reliable and willing to fix things without a hassle?

Seems like MSI is a good choice then. I assumed they would be, but I thought I'd get a few other opinions here just to make sure. I've read some horror customer support stories before regarding graphics cards and I promised myself my next upgrade would be from a very reliable manufacturer. lol

Thanks guys.

I've been eyeing these exact cards for months now. I like the look of the MSI better, but some reviewers say it's "very loud" compared to the Saphire.

So I'm interested to read the responses here. Either way I've decided to hold off a couple months to see if prices drop below $300 as the release of Pascal nears.

I started out thinking like that too but I quickly learned that I just don't have the patience to wait that long.

MSI 390 is very quiet. Custom fan profile in a well vented case its fine around 50%....no issues. I owned a Sapphire 270X and now a MSI 390 and both excellent brands. MSI is good with the 390 due to higher factory clock and has lots of good OC headroom on stock volts (up from 1060 to 1100 and 1500 to 1620 mem).
