Hi, i want to upgrade my gpu, but can't decide what to buy. I read 100s of posts, reviews about the cards but still no idea.
gtx 970 (msi), or r9 390, or for 70$ more i could get a GV-R939XG1 GAMING-8GD for 450$.(EU)
The price of the 970 and the 390 is the same.
The way i see, all 3 of them perform nearly the same at 1080p, but because the +4 gb, amd cards look more "future proof".
I will be playing on 1080p, maybe i will upgrade to 1440 in 1 or 2 years depends on how prices change.
Does the xfx 650 is enough for a 390x?
I'm leaning towards the 390x if my psu can handle it, but i'M not sure if it's worth the extra money, and i couldn't find any reviews for that gigabyte model....

My current config:
i5 4670k @4.3
16 gb ddr3
hd6950 2gb
xfx pro 650w
2 ssds, 1 tb hdd
6 case fans, +1 noctua nh-d14
Corsair air 540

Thanks.

Your not going to future proof a video card tech changes to fast. I would get the GTX 970 and call it a day in a couple of years when you upgrade to 2K your going to need a new video card anyhow.
