Goodmorning,

I have recently switched to a Samsung U28E590D 28" 4K monitor for gaming, it has freesync. So i started playing World of Warcraft on 4k resolution, but noticed some framedrop even on graphicsetting 6/10. Most of the time the FPS is 60 (i have v-sync and freesync on) but sometimes drops to 30 for a few secs and the screen stutters(this sometimes even happens when i run 60fps in towns of the game, or flying around). So i am thinking my R9 390 GPU might be to dated or too slow for 4k gaming.
Now i have researched a little bit, and can't find any high-end AMD cards compared to Nvidia.

So should i wait for a high-end AMD card for 4k gaming, or go with NVIDIA and ditch the freesync option on my monitor? Or what are the better options ?

If you can wait for a few months, AMD is releasing RX 490, that's a high end card which will be between 1080 and Titan x performance vise (at least so it's reported). But if you can't wait, then take at least gtx 1080.
