Hi
I have built a new custom PC and only left out the graphics card. It's an i5-4690 and an xfx 550w build, for 1080p gaming. Initially I was going to buy either a gtx 770 or an R9 290, but there was some trouble finding the R9 290 so I'm waiting for a couple of days. And then I searched for the next generation of gpus, and apparently nvidia is launching the 900 series with full dx12 support pretty soon. If I choose to wait, it might be for months since I don't live in the US or Europe, and I might have to play my most anticipated games later on.
My main concern is performance and being able to play the latest games for the longest possible. Do you think I should wait for full dx12 cards and get my gpu in January, or should I just get one of the dx11.2 cards which only partially support dx12 ?
Obviously I don't want to wait, but I also don't want my build to become obsolete in a short time.
Any advice ?
Thanks.
