Id be inclined to agree here. Ive briefly tried my 980ti in my old i7 930 bloomfield system at stock and found it to bottleneck a fair bit. Clocking it to 4ghz helped a bit but performance was still down from my main system.

Just to add people using the Ashes benchmark for async performance, I don't think they should, the developer themselves have implied they use it lightly compared to what is coming( This could give AMD cards another boost). I am buying when they arrive 980ti's because I am upgrading next year a lot of people keep cards for 3 years. Now is not a good time to upgrade with all the uncertainty I would probably buy a 390 and save more cash for die shrink if my budget was limited. The mud will have cleared etc.
As for buying a monitor well gsync definitely means you tie yourself into NVidia come what may, all be it a superior solution.
My vote would be save cash on a limited budget and buy 390 or 970. Because the die shrink will change a lot as will DX12.

I'm just yanking a few chains, as people keep posting articles from review sites that "prove" DX12 is going to put AMD ahead because Ashes... The problem is AMD always have something "coming soon" that will put them ahead and it never quite materialises
