Posted July 25, 2015 I might save some more money and go for this instead of the 380 4GB. What settings do you play at, and at what framerate? It would be helpful if you could tell the rest of the specs in your rig.

Posted July 25, 2015 I play with my 290 with most settings on the highest and usually rest in the mid 80s for my fps.Specs in my sig.Though before I had my i5, I was playing gta5 on the same settings with a 8320e sitting around 55-60 fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 25, 2015 Okay, not spectacular with my 290X. 30-50fps, though I play on nearly max settings (save for the advanced settings, haven't touched those I don't think) so I'm definitely sacrificing a good bit of performance for graphical quality.

Posted July 25, 2015 But its like $50 more 390x > 390 > 290 > 380 Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM. - WCCFTECH I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 25, 2015 When I had my 290s I could run GTA5 pretty much maxed out and get above 100fps in most scenarios. When I had one enabled I would usually get at least 60 on high-ultra. The 290 would be much better than the 380 in every game.

Posted July 25, 2015 Wow, really? Hm...that speaks strange things for my setup. Wonder if something is wrong, lol. Don't get me wrong, I have all the advanced graphic settings on the lowest, since everyone says those are fps killers, and in my experience, they are. The game looks amazing without them on anyway, here's some of my screenshots. http://imgur.com/a/CgAoY This is at 1080p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the graphics settings I have it on, I run it at around mid 80 fps like I said, I can't remember the msaa but it isn't all the way up.

Posted July 25, 2015 I'm guessing you put 4xmsaa on the reflections and just in general? Now that you say that I do think I've got MSAA cranked up a bit. I had a complete brain fart and forgot that MSAA really drops fps. Duh. Lol.

I'm assuming 2xmsaa since its 80 fps.. Pretty good framerate!

Yeah a 290 is going for pretty cheap now, they regularly go for around $210 used on /r/hardwareswap on reddit. Just bought another to crossfire with. Would definitely recommend to anyone, I've had nothing but good experiences with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 25, 2015 Author the 380 is actually a step down from the 290 Yeah, I know. I'm just trying to get the gpu for my needs for the least price. i5 4590 | Sapphire R9 380 Nitro | MSi H97 Gaming 3 | 8GB HyperX Fury 1600MHz | 1TB WD Blue | ADATA SP900 128GB | Seasonic M12II 620W | NZXT.

Posted July 25, 2015 Author why bother downgrading then? I'm trying to save as much money as I can.. I can do this by getting a gpu I only need. But I think I'm gonna be going for the 290. i5 4590 | Sapphire R9 380 Nitro | MSi H97 Gaming 3 | 8GB HyperX Fury 1600MHz | 1TB WD Blue | ADATA SP900 128GB | Seasonic M12II 620W | NZXT.
