Hi guys, so recently I had to RMA my 7990 and have now been refunded due to it being faulty therefore i am looking for a new card.
For the last 10 years i have been with AMD and I'm thinking of trying Nvidia this time round.
I'm also going to be upgrading to a 1440p monitor soon possibly the new Asus ROG Swift, so looking for something relatively beefy.

What would you recommend around the £400 mark?

Thank's Chris.
 
I'm seriously considering the 290 but how much of a difference would it make if i did get the ROG Swift monitor and have an AMD card as opposed to a Nvidia one?
I obviously wouldn't have G-sync.
 
are you able to add a additional £120? i knows it a big jump but two of the XFX 290's that snips posted would be my choice, ive got a 7990 atm and its started to make a horrid coil whine when the GPU gets the slightest bit of load.

may i ask, what make was your 7990? and did OCUK refund you or the manufacture?

Sorry missed this post first time round. It was an Asus HD 7990. It had faulty VRAM and Overclockers refunded me.
