Posted August 14, 2015 Is it worth getting the gtx 970 now. I found I deal where I can get the card for $250. Or should I just wait and get the r9 390 even though it's out of my budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
