I bought three monitors last year and I bought an MSI R9 270x to run them. I play GW2, WoW, Firefall and Minecraft mainly; I would like to start playing ESO, too. My problem is, I only average about 45fps with my 270x. I had another one that I sold because it started crapping out on me and the guy buying it said he could fix it. It didn't make much of a difference in the games I play, other than micro stuttering which IS still a problem.

What is the best single card that I can put in my system for $300-550? (USD) I'm stuck between the 280x, 290, 780 and just waiting to see how good the 970 and 980 are.

Current specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 (stock, 4.0ghz)
Mobo: Asrock 990fx killer
RAM: 2x8gb Trident X 1600mhz cas 7
PSU: Corsair AX760
SSD: 250gb Samsung 840 EVO
GPU: MSI R9 270x 2G
Resolution is currently 6000x1080

The 970 and 980 wont be that big of an improvement a 780 or 290 would be a good choice.

AMD and eyefinity in older games (direct x9) isn't great, especially WOW - takes some fiddling. I would urge you to consider a card with at lest 4GB VRAM if running in such high resolutions.
