the 390 overall is better, BUT you need a 650w or better power supply from a tier 1 or 2 model on this list:

you do actually, youtube is full of untrustworthy people faking a lot of stuff
290(x)/390(x)'s can spike well over 350w
they require beefy power supplies with strong caps
these forums are full of people with issues because they believed they could run these cards with anemic power supplies

"Gamers willing to tone down graphics quality at 1080p for the sake of spending less should consider the Radeon R9 380. Available under $200, it’s a full $100 less than the 390. And if you pay close enough attention, it’s possible to find 4GB models selling for the same price as the cheapest 2GB versions. A 4GB GeForce GTX 960 also goes for $200, but loses to the 380 in our benchmark suite more often than not."
Just saying you could save another $100
(though as GTX 960 SSC 4gb owner who games in 1080p, i wish i got more performance from my GPU)
