About to buy 390x, any reason not to?
- Thread starter Componentgirl90
- Start date
Solution
I purchased the R9 390, and Love it, when i got it few weeks ago and I was reading some reviews most said the performance jump vs pricing the 390 is better Performance $ wise.
However if you have the cash for the 390x and that is what you want, then go for it.
I would also considered the 970, but felt that the 390 with more ram might be better future proof as we never know what new fancy gfx will come requiring more ram

The only reason to buy it over GTX970 is if you are gaming on 1440P or higher resolution where the 8GB Vram helps it getting better performance. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/R9_390X_Gaming/30.html

Thanks. I've got a 850W Supernova G2 
All benchmarks that I have seen show that the 390x beats 970 pretty much all the time on 1080p and 1440p. All these benchmarks can't be wrong or I might as well buy a 970 since it is cheaper :-|

1080P and the difference is 2% which is 1-2fps most games at max. 1440P and it goes to 10% which is more realistic win for the 390X. So really resolution based and for 1080P the GTX970 has the price performance with it + more overclock headroom.

yeah I think a lot of people say stuff like that actually even 4Gb is enough for 4K and 2Gb is not quite enough for 1440p and stuff like that. But I play modded skyrim and that definitely needs more than 2Gb that i have now because the people who make these things aren't pros and the texture packs use up a hell of a lot of VRAM and i get crashes in the wilderness and stuff
