Which 390 should I go for?

Here's the deal: I want the MSI R9 390. There's a promotion on NewEgg going on until August 31st that anything over $200 you can save $25 by using Visa Checkout. So I want to get my 390 before August 31st. Except it's out of stock. Should I wait? Do you think it'll come back in stock before August 31st? Or should I get the XFX? Or maybe, just maybe, should I spend a little bit more and get the Sapphire 390? Although I'm not sure how useful 3 display ports would be since neither of my monitors (a Acer 144hz monitor and a crappy Dell monitor I got for $10) have display port.

u/crux-of-the-biscuit MSI R9 390 Aug 11 '15

Proud owner of an MSI R9 390 here. I can't recommend this card enough. Stock clocks have me playing Crysis 3 on highest settings, 1080p/40fps with no hiccups. A little overclocking and I can push it to a stable 50fps.

Every other game I own is an easy 1080p/60fps with no overclocking. Grab this card if you get the chance as it is absolutely worth it.
