Questions for GPU experts

Hi

Need to buy a new GPU.

So there are some questions for the guys who knows, plz and thank you

After having a quick look, it turns out that the Nvidia 780 has more Stream Processors than the 980! for example the 780 has 2304 Stream Processors, the 780ti has 2880 Stream Processors, but the 980 only has 2048, a reduction.

That looks like the 780ti is more powerful than the 980 right?

........................................

Also a single 980 is quite expensive, seeing that you can nearly get 2
r9 290s, if i add in 100 quid, what would you do ?

.........................................

So the r9s have been out for like 18 months now right? is there any info on any new cards being released, I can wait a few months if it is worth it, as any new releases see's a reduction in price of the current latest cards i.e 980/r9 290

....................................

So right now Ive got a Dell 27 inch on 2560x1440

I will sell that and then get a 4k monitor, but 1st I need to upgrade my GPU

Also this has caught my eye, its a MSI Radeon R9 290X Gaming Edition 8192MB for 330 quid.

But looking at the specs its very similar to the AMD Radeon R9 295 X2 8192MB Graphics Card

So the R9 290 8Gb is'nt far behind the R9 295 8Gb right?

........................................

Last question

AMD Stream Processors on their cards are the same in strength as Nvdias Stream Processors right?

Thanks in advance for the advice and answers, Happy New Year guys.

this 4k stuff, to much bad feedback as 4k seems like its not ready yet, Then i might hold on to my dell 1440 27inch, or get a 32inch 1440 monitor, that way I can get 1 decent card to run it on,

there isnt any 4k games out, until gtaV PC.

So im looking at:

2 x sapphire r9 at 249 a pop or
1 x XFX r295 at 529 or this has caught my eye with a lot of interest

1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 8192MB at 329 quid !! i just dont like the stock cooler,

what you guy think?


edit:

oh i see on google that the r9 390 is being released in the next 4 to 6 months? its a true 4k card ? this puts me off spending money right now when windows 10 dx12 is around the corner...
