I've been looking at upgrading to a dedicated GPU for a while, as I'm currently running only an APU(A-10 7850K). I've mainly been looking at R9 380's as they seem like the best bang for the buck, especially when they are on sale. Now, that brings to question, what is the benefit of [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] over [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ?

Additionally, I only have a 430W PSU, and can't afford to upgrade it, and I would be within one or two watts of what the max load on the PSU can be. Since I'm using an APU, would I be able to turn off the graphics cores and thus use less power on my APU?

There is no difference between those. Maybe a slightly higher/lower clock speed, but you wont notice it. I've also heard the ASUS runs a bit quieter.

Why is there such a price difference then?
