@FuriousGamer the R9 390 is better.

Isn't this a possibility?

I would go 390 over the 970, more vram and slightly faster

"Sulit" (adj.) something that is worth it

I would say 390 but you can't really go wrong with either card

Im deciding to go with the 970 because the 390 is super power hungry.

It uses only 40W more than the 970
