you've had it yes it is, forget this 390X look at the Dual card instead, or a much bigger tv.............because choosing a bigger tv is much more fun
seriously though, you've got a TX, this 390X is a sideways upgrade or on a 5 degree upward slope, big deal man, your next upgrade needs to be 180% more powerful including maybe DDR4 and a way better CPU, maybe bigger than Skylake, not sure yet............ your next upgrade might therefore be next year.
.
We don't know what the 390X performs like yet. Obviously if it was a side-grade I wouldn't bother switching unless the AMD card was half the price so I could pocket the change from selling mine.
Price / performance will determine whether if it's worth it, so no point calling this a side-grade until we actually what what it can do.
Anxiously waiting launch, will my TX lose a ton of value? Bad times lol.
It's been the norm for Nvidia for a while. It strikes me it'll stay that way. AMD will start competing with Nvidia in that price range, then there will be the consumer cards which the majority of us will buy.
I'm guessing your talking about the 980's etc when you say consumer cards? If so will we see less improvement in that price range VS the very expensive high end cards. It could become really pricey and even less value per gen upgrade than before. Interesting to see how this plays out.
