I was playing the original Master of Orion game today on my 5960X/TitanX/2160p system, this old DOS game looked total rubbish but it was still a lot of fun to play.

I'm currently on 1080p60 with a 970 on a non G-sync monitor and I'm good with what I have. But I want to eventually upgrade to 1440p120/144, so I'll wait till there's cards that let me do that whilst keeping most new games at maxed settings. Oh and G-sync/Free-sync too, so I'll also be waiting for those monitors to become more affordable (if they ever do).
A new Masters of orion game is due soon. Loved the 1st one but the second and third were seriously lacking something.
Do you mean the remake of the first one, I was playing that last night.
I got all 4 games as a bundle on steam, MOO 1, 2, 3 and the remake.

That's the one.
Good stuff chaps and pats on the back.Nano is a FuryX on a small PCB. However I wouldn't pair it with a small monitor like this. Needs 2560x1440 or higher to stretch it's legs.
Or else buy a better monitor and a R9 390X to save money
I think the 390x isnt that great value though, its only very slightly faster than the 390 but much more expensive imo.
If you could still get a Nano for £349 id get that any day vs £349 for a 390x, however Nano prices have gone back to pre price drop prices

I think I'd opt for a 390x over a Nano. I have a Fury Tri-x but in hindsight I'd go Grenada instead of Fiji this gen,
Actually in hindsight I'd go back 9 months and buy a 980 rather than waiting for the AMD releases.
I would have probably gone 980 too but i bought a freesync monitor and was waiting on Polaris (also thought my 7970 supported freesync oops). Been so close to just buying a R9 390 or R9 Nano multiple times. Then OCUK are doing a good deal on 970s at the moment and im thinking: "Do i really need freesync?".
All i want is a card that can have a full cover EKWB, but also pretty small as im thinking of making my next build ITX (Define S Nano), only issue is i cant find any ITX Z77 boards... Old tech i guess.

If I had a freesync screen I would definitely want to use the tech. If I didn't already have a card I'd get something cheap until the next gen appears. I'd get a new or secondhand 260x which is freesync ready so I can see how freesync does at the low end of the scale and wait for the next range to land. If I already had a 7970 I'd just wait.
YES!
