R9 390:

I have seen like a cary on 1000 forums but both are similars, but there are certain points to consider:


-The GTX970 this year or next, nvidia is going to uncataloged -------- (http://elchapuzasinformatico.com/2016/04/nvidia-detiene-produccion-geforce-gtx-970-gtx-980 /)

- the r9 is a year newer than GTX970

- NVIDIA drivers are better optimized than amd.

- I have 3 screens and i think r9 is stronger in this field.

AND THE BIG QUESTION IS! wich one i choose?

Thanks for your patiente comunity and sorry for my badly english ^^

While it is true that for max settings @ 1080p a 970 would work, however I would recommend the R9 390 as not only does it have more vram, it matches (if not exceeds) the 970 in its price range. 390 uses more power though, and the loudness depends on the fan setup (I'm looking at MSI 390 right now).
