New PC BUILD, Do I need a new GPU? Current is R9 390

[codejoy]

I am wanting to build a new PC, still keeping it for a gaming PC But I am doing a lot more 4k and HD video editing lately using Premier. My old PC is a decent build at the time (4 years old now) but with an upgraded R9 390:

My new build I am wanting to make is here notably with a Ryzen7 but I was curious if keeping the old R9 390 was a bad idea?

I have that build above speced with a new graphics card the rx 480. Though I am wondering how big a leap if any over the R9 390 I have would that be. I am hoping the update in ram (speed and quantity) in addition to ryzen and new mobo would make a notable difference sans upgrading the graphics card.

Not sure where else to ask, so I asked here...

Your 390 is basically on par with a 480.
If you dont need the graphics upgrade, stick with the 390 (im using a 290). Its still a fairly potent card and you could easily save the money.

Everything I saw seemed to indicate that but I wasn't sure if I was missing something. Ty so much!!! I will probably just build out with new mobo ram and cpu. (SSD too, I think my current on performs poorly). Ty for the information!

there is no practical reason to move from R9 390 to RX 480/580 - the benefit is too small to be worth the price.
if you have 1080p monitor, just keep using this card.

Thanks, I was planning on upgrading to a 4k monitor at some point in time (sooner than later). Though I am not sure the rx 480 is great at 4k gaming. Plus just to run windows in 4k I am guessing the R9 390 can do that fine.

RX 480 is not suitable for anything above 1080p. too weak.
as for for gaming, until they have over 100Hz monitors, it's pointless for gaming

IMHO for 1080 gaming, no, you don't need a new GPU. But the 1070 and the 1080 are so far MUCH more suited to resolutions OVER 1080p.

That's really the future.

I could see this as being true. Though, if I am running AMD I would want to keep it all AMD and would go with the Radeon equiv, which Id on't think is out yet ? Or far to expensive. My R9 is a little over a year old, I am guessing it would get me a few more years of at least solid 1080 gaming, and good 4k desktop performance and maybe 1080/4k video editing.

Eh, you're good then, have fun gaming.
