Hello!
I'm thinking about upgrading my PC finally (I'll put spec below post) and I think the graphic card might be the best choice.
I have budget below and it seems that in my country my options are R9 390 (prices between -), GTX 970 (-), and R9 390x ( -).
I was leaning towards GTX (just my thing - usually hoping between ATI and NVIDIA each upgrade). But extra VRAM on ATI seems tempting.
What's about DX12 favoring ATI in early benchmarks? Any changes in that? Also I've heard that 970 is way better to OC than 390. How it's the case without watercooling OC?
Beside gaming I also do graphic, 3d graphic, movies post-production and photography.
Choosing cheaper card would probably allow me to get extra RAM or SSD Depending how much I'll save up.
For now my work enviorment is 2x1080p, but planning getting extra 1440p next year. So
If i go with 390 or 390x will my PCU PSU will handle extra power usage?
Or maybe I should upgrade something completly different?
EDIT: Or maybe I should hold off with graphic card get monitor now and wait for new generation of cards?
Hit me up.
And thanks in advance!
