That 980 pretty much kills off the 390x
Indeed, quite a cracking buy, particularly @ 1080P.
If I didn't already have my 780 Ti, I'd be tempted, but mine runs games great @ 1080P.

So, is anyone is a position to show a ~£240 R9 390 can cope with "ultra" settings in Project CARS in rainy conditions, on Windows 10 with the latest drivers and pCARS patch 2.5?
Or do I have to spend ~£350 on an Nvidia 980?
Ideally, you would be using a 4970k/Skylake or even better a Haswell-E system (which would make "-pthreads 4 -dx11mt" launch commands really shine on a 6-core CPU).

If it whines send it back. If indeed it was returned due to coil whine it would've more than likely have been caused by being run off a poundstretcher Psu.

Do I still get the free game if I collect?
Thinking of calling in after work today, save waiting for the DPD guy to deliver Monday.

All the hassle I had lately with Fury X RMA, PC changing etc. I just wanna pick up something decent / new and fairly cheap.
Anyways I think Gibbo is just about to drop the Inno3D GeForce GTX 970 "iChill HydroCool" to £300 for the weekend insanity
I'll wait for that one

Damn that's a tempting price on the 390 - so tempting in fact, that I'm genuinely considering it even though I already have a 970 and only game at 1080p! Madness

That would be a "yes", as you know.

Hmmm is the MSI 390 Gaming Edition worth £35 more than the PowerColour 390 ?
The question is... will Gibbo drop the price on it to match the sale price it was on for a week or so ago?
That would be a "yes", as you know.
Where? To my knowledge nowhere in the UK still has it, but feel free to post a link and if it is the same genuine NVIDIA card we will consider matching it.

Battling with the decision to push the trigger on the Powercolor R9 390, good value for money as I understand, as asked would the MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming Edition be worth the £35 or do I invest in a GTX 980 so it lasts longer?
Anyone can push me to pick one?

The 980's the faster card, that's what I'd go with.

Thank you for the advice, I don't mind investing a bit extra if it will be beneficial in this instance life span, will the £110 justify the extended life span of the 980?
I play in 1080p on a 670
