Sorry to highjack bit would a 380 allow decent quality and acceptable fps for at least the next 2 years do you think?

380 Nitro is the way to go

If you could afford to maybe double your budget the Nano is at insanely attractive price right now!

he probably can double the budget if you send him the difference :p

depands how polaris/pascal will perform, if they will stay around the same perf with more efficiency, that will keep 380 as mid range, if they have consequent performance boost(which i strongly doubt) will probably relegate 380 toward low end, even then it will be up to developers, and how far they push the games, but seeing that few to none are making DX12 games, PS4/Xbone relatively low performance, VR to start very slow... all seem to indicate that things wont start changing untill 2017 if we are lucky.
so yea 1-2 year seem fine to me

if someone was kind enough to send me the difference then yeah nano it is haha :D only joking, think i will go nitro as it should do me for a while hopefully :rolleyes: does anyone actually own the 380 nitro that could tell me how it runs ie quiet and cool?

Sapphire Nitro cards are very cool, quiet, and good overclockers
 
If you're going to go for a 21:9 monitor you'll need to upgrade from all of those cards so don't bother upgrading until you get your new monitor.

My nitro fans don't spin up until the gpu temp is in the high 50's and even then the fans only run at approx 20%, most of the time with nongaming use the fans dont even spin. My case cooling isn't that good either.
 
i wont be getting the monitor until later on in the build probably going to be the last thing i get :( if i get the nitro then that will do me for me now.

thats good that it runs cool and quiet :) thats what i like to hear
