Graphics help

Alright so I'm looking to upgrade my rig but need help. What what give me mire performance two msi r9 290x lightning, 7990 or wait for the new range my budget is £600 what would you suggest?

[slightlyjaded]

wait.... but that would always be my advice. the computer you just brought is already outclassed by what is coming to the showroom by post.

Do you need to upgrade?. do you want amd?

At the moment the beast of a card in that price range is still the 970 despite all it's bad press. If you don't mind waiting check out the 390s

hey there, welcome to the forums

 

Well only two 290xs will give performance equal to two 290xs  the 290xs are probably the best value option atm

 

970 are an option, but slightly more expensive, not bad one though. 

 

What resolution are you playing at?

what resolution are you playing at? at 1080p 2 290xs would be a waste. getting 250fps in everything isn't a benefit to anyone lol.

they'd make sense for 1440p and 4k though

I'll be running in 4k for those asking

Thanks for all the answers

if you're running in 4k then the only option close to this price range is dual 290x

 

It gets it's arse kicked on lower resolutions, but the extra frame buffer evens things up at 4k

[slightlyjaded]

Hypocrite.

 lol, not really I game at 1080p on a 42 inch 200hz tv. My single 980 is overkill for that. it's also either out of this price range or right on the limit.

 

I'm planning on a second 980. but that's an extra 800 AUD

 

A the 500 buck USD price range a couple of 290x in crossfire will beat a single 980 at 4k res. (They'll have difficulty beating the card at anything lower.)

for 4k I'd go r9 295x2.. yeah its just 2 290xs buy it looks awesome, comes water-cooled and just sounds better lol
