Upgrading from a 280x

[K_c1n]

So im thinking about upgrading from an r9 280x to eathier the 980ti or 390x my question is should i wait a little longer until we get some cards that can run 4k easily or is that still a ways off?

[Vebb]

It was rumored 390x was performing less than 980ti at gaming.

 

Grab a 980ti or 970 if you want bang for your buck.

 

Btw, what kind of games are you planning on playing?

[EarthboundHero]

Wait until June 16th.

Gta v, the witcher 3 etc would like to play in 4k at max settings though which seems to be borderline atm is it worth waiting for more powerful cards to come out or upgrade now

Don't go off pure rumors as competition usually stirs that pot. Wait for actual results.

Ofc i will wait to see what amd can do b4 buying anything

Rest of your PC Specs? 4k Max settings in Witcher 3 is 30fps and Max settings GTA v is 45-50fps. I can get a few pictures and of the guy who will be doing benchmarks with the 980ti until the 300 series come out.

[Rolling Potatoe]

For 4k max 60ish you gonna need 2gpus, whatever amd got up their sleeve i highly doubt it will deviate more than 15% from a 980ti/titan x

Average specs fx 8320 at 4.5 8gb corsair ddr3 1866mhz im waiting for skylake and ddr4 before changing any of that though.

wait to get the GPU. Wait in general. That CPU would be a bottleneck running 4k Max settings.

[TheKleen]

You're gonna need to upgrade that CPU before getting more powerful cards, it'll bottleneck anything higher than a 280x.

A single 980timfrom the few benchmarks is getting 30-60fps Max settings. Witcher 3 MAX 30 FPS without drops, GTA V MAX 40-50FPS. The dude might have a few more benchmarks up I can go check

Dont worry about it dude everything will be upgraded over the next year

[Columbo]

I would say the 970. A temporary upgrade that will get you by another year.

At 4k it's actually the opposite. Higher the resolution, the less work is done on the cpu
