Some amazing cards in terms of new features that Asus and Sapphire have brought to the cards in terms of cooling etc... and good performance even if most will hark on about rebrands galore etc...

Enjoy

New features?

 

[Wizzfizz]

Nothing amazing about them, just rebrands with slapped on premiums

Mostly 10FPS over my 290x? No thanks.. I'll just overclock it and gain back a few fps!

Some of the new coolers are pretty nice though

Was going to buy an msi gtx 970.

Worth buying the 390? I only game at 1080p but I want to mod skyrim. Witcher and fallout 4 down the line.

Is this faster then the 970

The NVidia cards are much faster in the Witcher 3 it seems.

Will 970 load witcher at 1080p on ultra?

I'm liking the extra vram with the 390... temptations

You don't need that extra Vram at 1080p, on the witcher 3, ultra @ 1080p. i use about 2gb IIRC

You really do not even need to consider anything more than 4GB until you are AT LEAST running at 4K.

 

[xraycat87]

Ahhh they're the same price so boils down what's best bang for buck

 

[xraycat87]

Should add my monitor is 144hz too

 

[shadow_boxer]

no

+1

Makes no difference, mine is 144hz too! I can't get solid 144fps in barely any games, BF4 gets close, lowest dip is 100. But Elite is solid 144fps since the 1.3 update.

New features?

The box has a 3 instead of a 2 and a higher number is deducted from your credit card. Great new features

 

[l0z]

Massively relieved I bought a 290X before they went back up in price the other day.

 

[yashiro]

No new driver release for these cards on the AMD website? That's a tad shoddy.
