Best Gpu For Price To Performance

DustyDanglerX · Nov 24, 2015

Hi guys i have a little dilema here i have a phenom II 1090t at 4.0 and im planing to get a new gpu since my 670 just died on me.The problem is I don't know what gpu to get.

The r9 290 reference:

The 390:

Or 380x:

I know that my cpu will bottleneck any of these cards but im waiting for zen to come out next year . I can live with the bottleneck for a few months till new cpus come out .Which should i get for price to performance ratio.Just in case my psu is an EVGA 650w G2 so i can support any of these cards.
Is the 80$ extra for the 390 worth it?Thanks for the help i really appreciate it.

Avoid the 290 reference. Hot, lower specs. Limited DX12. Here is the performance difference (on paper) between the 380X and 390: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1594?vs=1592
I would consider that worth $80, you may disagree.

I read on other forums that 390 can't fully utilize the 8gb since the gpu is not strong enougt is this true?

DustyDanglerX :

I don't know about that, but if you game on a single display @ 1080p, you'll probably never ever use even 4GB. 8GB is more for triple monitors as in 5760x1080. The extra VRAM doesn't make the card any faster, just gives it more storage space for more textures, better A-A, DoF, etc at higher resolutions.

If you can afford the 390 and your PSU can handle it, get it.
