I recommend the 390 if you need it NOW

In general though wait for the 480

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

What can you do when you're a smart buyer? You have to consider every options.

he needs a gpu his rig doesnt have one its not a upgrade, its a purchase of a new part. If he wants to sit around for months waiting for a affordable 1060 to drop. maybe even next year. I highly doubt the 1060 will match the 480 given the leaked cuda core count and specs we have been seeing.

Yeah I know that. But it may be worthwhile to wait until the reviews gets out and the board partners with their designs. I don't think that blower style cooler is nice compared to what Sapphire and such can bring up.

I hope Sapphire can put some damn sexy RGB LED in their designs since everyone is doing it. I also hope the backplate gonna be sexy like the R9 3XX series.

Are you talking about the silver design that was leaked a few days ago? I'm not too sure about that design. I was hoping for a 3 fan cooler design.

Man. Look on ebay for a high quality used 970/980 or wait for the 480.

 

AMD's 480 will beat the 970.

 

Also a shame you can't just spring for the 1070 which is like 2x 970 cards. All the benchies I've seen show the 970 getting beat by at least 30-50%. The 1080 only beats the 980 Ti by a few frames in real gaming, maybe 10-12 fps.

Oh bummer! I was hoping for a 3 fan. I hope we gonna get good picture of it soon cuz those leaked photos really don't do justice to it.
