For 1440p try the r9 390/x

[Shhuks]

390 or 390x if you intend to move to higher resolutions.

390 or 390x, the 690 is pretty powerful but kinda outdated

AMD drivers are meh. The sapphire one does come with a backplate fyi.

The drivers are getting better. They used to release not many drivers, but they have released 7 drivers in the last 6 months so thats decent

Why do you want a backplate? What is the difference?

Its gonna sag regardless of the backplate if its a heavy card.

Thats a good choise. Everything I have heard of xfx seem positive, and the r9 390 is a very good card. Although you arent going to use the full 8GB it has

[TechPcGamer]

yeah the 390x seems very nices i know i wont use all 8gb vram lol but will work good in gta 5 skyrim
