I own a radeon R9 280X, but it really pisses me off because they promised freesync for my card and now I didn't get it.

While I know the benchmarks and I know the performance difference and features, I would want to know what is your opinion; if that card is worth buying if you already own the R9 280X...

What say you?

Why would you wanna change cards to go slower ?

Features, sir, features! Ture audio, free sync, and a shitload more!

Can always add another card later. Though how much do you think my 3-month used card would be worth (below)?

Not worth it really. Probably best to wait for the R9 300 series or the GTX 900 series.

Or maybe R9 285X and do hybrid crossfire?

It's way too early for Free sync, you not getting that much going with an R9 285.

But freesync is months away ....and previews haven't promised much. I don't see the advantage of True audio since it is only for HDMI.

I'd wait for next gen ..... I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the new features in the 9xx series.
