I am soon to build my first PC, staying under a $1000 (AUD, so ≈ $750 USD) and as such, my theoretical build has come to this (caseless, I know, but that's irrelevant). I have been looking at various comparisons and benchmarks, such as:
1 - http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-480-vs-AMD-R9-390/3634vs3481
2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj5uWvylz9Y
3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozATbV11rBA (this is mostly in favour of the R9 390)
But there are also conflicting comparisons such as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj4qIHLSn_0
And there are comment sections praising the RX 480 over the R9 390, as well as one of my school friends insisting with his life that the RX 480 is substantially better.
Problem is, the cheapest R9 390 I can find at my local store is $350 while the RX 480 is at $420, and I see no value in that extra $70 spent.
Is the RX 480 much more future proof and better, or is it all just one big lie? Which should I go with?
