    Brezzels got a reaction from Phantonex in Blackwidow Chroma replacement.   
    If you want to stick with razer i can recommend the newer blackwidow v2 with the orange switches. I had a Mech. Keyboard with mxreds from corsair earlier on, but i was not very happy how the software worked on corsair and another feature i quit like is the lighing effects in overwatch and i would really hoper there would be more games to allow these effects.

    I see it when Pascal is almost a year and a half old and is so expensive. Last gen the cutdown midrange die card (GTX 970) was $330 at launch, this gen it was $450 (GTX 1070) and it's still there. If I was the op I'd hold onto that 290 until it dies in the hope it survives until Volta.

    Thats exactly what i think as well. Just when i look back ,befour i had my r9, i had   a 650ti for a hundret buck, sure it was not the best,however it managed to be a entry level friendly card, even further back in 2007 i had a 8600gt which costed 60€ it was able to play games the next 3 years. Competition is the problem here, AMD does not targed to beat the 1070 with the vega 56. If they had gone at least at a lower price than the 1070 which is allready avalible for 390 bucks, so even 110€ less than a vega. If they don compete it will take years to come to have a high improvement in general.

    it's my guess that it's not all about the miners, production is kept low to keep prices up. A one and a half year old card should not more expensive than when it came out, production costs usually go down with time.
    And Vega really not being much of a competition did nothing for the market. The GPU market needs the same treatment that the CPU market got from Ryzen, all of a sudden Intel can sell cheaper and with a lot more cores and threads. When for years the evolution of almost laughable.
    It's really hard to believe that Intel released 8th generation abandoning the traditional core/tread in i3/i5/i7 just as Ryzen came out and just in a couple of months, this things take time to engineered and develop, it's almost like we would never got this was it not for Ryzen even if they could have released it at any time.

    I'd recommend an RX 580 if the prices didn't skyrocket recently due to miners. I was in the same situation as you, was stuck with an old gpu, waited too long and suddenly the prices were all 100+ euros more. I personally opted for a second hand founders edition 1070 (it was 11 days old and had 3 years of warranty left) for 400 euros which I found acceptable since you couldn't buy the FE anymore and I really like the way it looks. But yea this might be the worst time to be looking for an upgrade. I'd say try to find a decent 2nd hand deal for a 970 or something if you want to keep costs low.

    The r9 290 performs similar with RX 580's and GTX 1060's. Those things aged REALLY well.
    I wouldn't upgrade unless you really have to tbh. Depending what its dying, give it a good service and just keep using it.

    Why do you say this? Overheating? Artifacting? R9 290 IIRC is a really decent card and probably not worth getting into the horrible GPU market currently.

    Unless you game at very high refresh rates at high/ultra settings and/or higher resolutions, it's very unlikely that the CPU will bottleneck the GPU.

    If you mean a reason to upgrade then yes getting a 1070 would be a decent upgrade.
