Hey all

I'm going to make my first gaming pc build soon and I just need to choose the graphics card. What graphics card is better at 1440p?

R9 290x
GTX 970
Or R9 390

(Not over-clocked)
 
Solution
R9 390

usually 10 - 15 % better than the GTX 970 at that resolution
and uses less power than a 290X which performas about the same .


But if you are updating an older pc and you psu is under 650 watts then you should choose the GTX

You would need a terribly high power psu
The r9 390 is good for 1440p no worryes ;)

But not so much faster than the gtx 970 except if your game can support mantle ;)

I have a gtx 970 because of the nvidia shield but if i wouldnt have i would buy the r9 390 no question
But not for the vram only for mantle :D
