Buy R9 280 now or wait for R9 380

[coco3431]

I am looking at buying a new GPU to replace my 2 GTS 450s. I am interested in the R9 280. Newegg has a deal on the XFX R9 280 for $150. Should I grab one of these or wait for the R9 380? In this article (http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-300-series-pricing-confirmed-aggressive/) it says that the R9 380 4GB will be $235. In the future I plan to buy a 4K monitor. Should I wait?

 

Thanks!

Definitely wait, even if you don't end up getting the R9 380, the new release will push down the price of the previous gen cards even further

The 380 is supposedly based on the 285, not much of a performance boost.

Id'e get that deal while you can.

 

iirc the 380(x) is a Tonga (285) rebrand with a slight overclock.

They save money by rebranding gpus, they can't just make a brand new version of each one, its a waste of money. The older gpus are perfect for use use in  the lower end cards.

Well I heard its gonna be upgraded and have 3GB VRAM maybe even HBM.

Doubt it, then they'll have to remake the whole chip.

Ummm... Whats HBM?

 

I really want to buy that R9 280 and use it right away. I guess I'll see if I can stand waiting. Also Newegg has the R9 280x for $190, $40 more than the R9 280. Is the performance boost worth the extra $40?

I would grab the 280x and call it a day, worth it over a 285 for 1GB more Vram.
