I would recommend a R290 without x, which will be atleast a noticeable upgrade! (much more).
AMD is my best safe bet at the moment, i can only imagine what mantle will do, esspecialy sinds the ENTIRE market is now dominated by AMD after the console fiasco for Nvidia.

This new MMO star citizins i think its called will use mantle as well, which will add power dramaticly considering the heavy load it will have to process.

But in the end it comes down to what games you like to play.

BTF 4 = AMD all the way
AC4 = NVIDIA all the way.

mantel isn't going to make a huge improvement trust me(5-10% gain at most I'm saying)


I agree that the 290 would be a better upgrade or even the 7970/280x
