I'm still running a pair of R9-270x's in my rig at the mo and I've just bought a desk mount dual monitor arm, so while I'm looking for monitors I wondered if it might be time to get rid of the 270x's and find a single card setup that'll have the same, or more, power than the pair of 270's as well as supporting dual monitors, not looking for 4k really, just a pair of 1920x1080's...

Suggestions...
 
I figured newer cards would be higher than that cost wise, unless the 480's not top of the stack?

the RX480 will have the best value performance/dollar hands down, supposed to be between 970 and 980 performance for 170£ 4Go version and 200£ for 8Go version, to be released by the end of the month.
also if you are going to take 1080p monitor i would suggest you a Freesync one if you are getting AMD, there is this 24" AOC monitor i like for 200£, 1080p, 144hz, 1ms, Freesync.
 
I might just see if I can get another of the Dell's I have already on the monitor front, think its mountable..

lol, really ?
time will tell what ?
just how high performance is from 970, take that minimum and give me better perf/$ card, 970 for 165£ MSRP
i would really love to hear your argument, because i dont see anything on the market beating it or even announced parts.

im on a single 270x and have long had the upgrade itch, recently built a new system and kept my 270x but im waiting on the 480,

apparently its cheap and might be over double performance from my single 270x basicaly 390 performance easy and only takes one 6 pin connector lol

im anxiously awaiting the release of that card, should be a worthy successor to my 270x and much cheaper than a 390 at current pricing :)

maybe get 2 480,s at the end of the month, it is a very bad idea to buy a gpu right now :)

I've had the itch for a long time, but only really play Diablo3 and Elite at the mo so while the cards I have are fine I've still got that itch, so its either being scratched on my main PC or my HP Microserver which has already been pushed about as far as I can, unless I replace it that is...
