Hi,

I've recently been thinking about getting a new video card, but I'm to used to having only one video card in my gaming setup and if I updated my setup, I just got a new video card and sold the old one. But because this video card is still pretty great, I'm not to sure if I should sell it for something that just might increase performance by a small amount. So I thought about just getting a second one, but I'm not to experienced.
I've read about that you should get the same card that you already have to make them work perfectly together. But if I get something like the new AMD Radeon R9 390 which just cost a little more, will it go well with the video card I already have?

Specs are:
Intel Core i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Asrock B85M Pro4
16GB DDR3
AMD Radeon R9 290x
750W Cooler Master

If more information is needed please let me know.
Thanks for your help! :)
I apologies for bad grammar, English is not my main language.
 
Solution
The 390 would not be enough of an improvement to be honest. A true upgrade would be a Fury or GTX 980Ti. And the PSU would need upgraded to about 1000W if you got another 290X.

Thanks for quick responds.
My spending money is limited so a Fury or 980Ti would have to wait.
I will spend extra for a new PSU if needed if I get a second 290X, but is it worth it?
