WarWeeny Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 The 3xx is supposedly four times faster than the 290x in memory bandwith, so i would wait for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Your powersupply'll handle it just fine as long as it's a good one. That seems grossly overpriced though, at least for 'Murrrrica, Idk what new prices are for a 290X...here you could get a new GTX970 for that and still have money left over.

Well , a brand new 290X Lightning goes for 400+ euros , a brand new 970 goes for 350+ euros . My PSU was recommended from two cables of overclock.net.

RedFury77 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) This seems overpriced and I would just wait for the 3xx anyway. Edited January 28, 2015 by RedFury77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you're going to spend 330 euros for a used 290X then I'd say spend the extra for the GTX970....I feel bad for you guys over there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpikeSoprano Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I would spend a few extra and go 970, or wait for the newer amd, but don't put your money on how good the rumors are about how fast it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest the 970 won't perform as good at 1440p . Plus after the 3.5GB VRAM scandal exploded i'm really sceptical about getting one. Heck , Shadow of mordor eats up 4gigs of VRAM at 1080p.
