Hi all, I currently have a sapphire tri-x r9 290 and am displeased with the performance I am getting in games like warthunder and even planetside 2, with the former dropping down to high twenties on ultra (only 1080p too). I know that everything is optimized for nvidia, and I was considering an upgrade to the new gtx 980. Recently, however, I heard of the new r9 300 series of gpu's from amd, rumored to be released in February. I really could use some help deciding, any help appreciated. Also, if anyone thinks they can help me get better performance out of my build without a new card, that would also be great.
My build:
CPU: i5 4670K (unoverclocked)
Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Hero
RAM: 8gb G. Skill sniper series 1866hz
GPU: Sapphire Tri-x OC r9 290 (overclocked to 1100 MHz)
PSU: Corsair CX750 (bronze rated I think)
- Also, my gpu is not new, I bought it from a bitcoin miner for what at the time was a great deal. All fans work and nothing seems obviously wrong, any thoughts?
