Hello,

this are my specs :
CPU :Intel, CORE I5-4690K 3.50GHZ , Coolermaster, CooMas Hyper212 Ev
Memory : G Skill, D3 8GB 1600-999 RipjawsX ( 2x 4gb )
Power : EVGA, EVGA SUPERNOVA 750 B2 80 PLUS
Motherboard : Asrock, Mod 1150 ASRock Z97 Extreme4
Monitor : Lg 24gm77
OS : Windows 7 - 64

I have used Graphic : XFX, XFX 3GB D5 X R9 280X Dual Fan BLACK and after 8 months of hoping to resolve the issue I have sent the card back and after a month of waiting i just got refund.
So if they just sent me new card that would be ok I didn't ask for a refund but since they just got me my money back I don't want to buy the same card because it is 7e more expensive now... :/

So i payed the card 250 euros. I buy from mylemon.at
I could go up 50 euros but i prefer not to.

I mostly play league of legends, Quake live, CoD, but was hoping to give Crysis, GTA and few newer games a try...

What I expect from my graphic card is to relevant for at least 2-3 years.

TL DR : Please suggest a graphic card @ mylemon.at for 250 euros... +50 if really needed.
Excluding xfx R9 280x DD.

Thank you.

Always a good idea to wait for some benchmark tests, if you can wait a little bit before purchasing, go for it

Also more V-RAM is always a good thing, especially if you are going to game on 4K or even 1080p @144Hz, 2GB of V-RAM will not be the best choice for gaming today

Hey man, nice build. Very similar to mine :). I have the sapphire nitro r9 390. It is a great graphics card and good for the price. Has nice vram and has 3 fans for the extra cooling. I run all the games i haved played on ultra including arma 3 mp which is hard to get good frames in that. Can run all your games on ultra and get a good 50 to 60 fps. The vram comes in handy if you want to mod gta v. Cheers, best of luck choosing :)

Hey thank you for suggestions...It seems i would have to go 350e and get r9 390 hoping ti is more "futureproof" card with 8 GB of ram... As far as I've seen R290 is 300 e and i would be better of paying 50 euros more.

Should i wait for DX 12 to come out and windows 10 and see benchmarks then?

A little suggestion: Ignore VRAM completely when choosing a new card for gaming, because there is no way that a 970 is going to make use of the full VRAM. Probably not even 4gb.

Edit: But i would still choose Nvidia cards over AMD cards.
