jdm_freek Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 first off let me say i do not care about power usage , heat or multi card issues as i have never had any. i am looking for feedback as to which will be the better performer for 4k i already have a 290 and can pick up another for $200 or i could sell my current card and go with with option a or b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 To really play at 4K you will need a pair of cards or minimize your texture settings to get playable frame rates. Using a single card is tough depending on the game you play and which settings and ecosystem intrigues you the most. As an Entry into 4K you could get away with using the second R9 290. The 390X may end up a dual GPU card anyhow so at that point you still are multi GPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm_freek Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 i want the 390x but there so much speculation on the price $650 is my limit as anything higher i will go ith a 290 cf setup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Two R9 290's in crossfire (if supported for the games you play), should be just about faster than a single GTX 980 Ti that will be coming out, plus a definite cheaper option. Seeing that you'll be selling your R9 290 for around $200, and willing to spend the $650 (so $850 total?), you can easily find two used GTX 980's to SLI with serial-based warranty for around $800 - $850).

GabrielT Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Nvidia has no reason to relese a 980ti. Doing that would seriously mess up the market for top end 980's with custom PCBs that the board partners have built. They would be shooting themselves in the foot releasing a GPU in between the 980 and the Titan and I really doubt they will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm_freek Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 didn't they release the 780 ti after the titan black ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of GTX 980's being sold for around $415. didn't they release the 780 ti after the titan black ? I thought it was GTX 780, GTX Titan, GTX 780 Ti, and then GTX Titan Black, then GTX Titan Z. I could be wrong, though. Someone look it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
