Hi All!

Currently running a R9 290x GFX (Ancient!!)

Looking to finally get an upgrade, not really sure where to go these days as there is so much choice out there? Not got a massive budget for any of these high end cards. (£300-400? ish)

currently playing games like GW2, BF1 which are the two main problems I have only being able to run in low with FPS issues on both :(

What is recommended these days? Should I go second hand and get myself a 980TI? 1070? stick with AMD?

Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Sam

your card is plenty for 1080p. wait for vega.. i would just go for nvidia if you have a gsync monitor, otherwise just stick with your card unless you playng at 4k. cause i have also same card and i play fine at 1440p

It barely runs anything above low settings? BF1 runs just about ok in low settings, Guild wars 2 will not run at all in best graphics. Running an i5 skylake at 4.4ghz

I've made a mistake! I just realised it's a 280x not a 290x! i miss typed in the first post.
