Hello, I am thinking of getting a new graphic card now for 1080p gaming and I can't decide between these 2:

Gigabyte G1 R9 380 4GB
Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4GB

Or should I spend more for a Sapphire Nitro R9 380X?

My PSU is Corsair VS550(3 years old) btw, is it safe to use a card with power requirement of 225W? (Seems like a dumb question)

Any suggestion is much appreciated smile.gif

The only difference is the Effective Memory Clock. Sapphire nitro has a higher Effective Memory Clock by 100 MHz.

Your PSU should have no problem powering the card.

Sapphire IMHO - I have one right now, and it is a very reliable, cool card. icon_idea.gif
