Hey guys, I'm looking to get a new GPU for an upcoming build, and don't want to spend too much on decent 1080p performance. I was debating the r9 380 (4gb), the r9 280x and the rumored 380x. Which would get me the best 1080p performance for my dollar? I'll be playing mainly CoD, GTA V, and other popular games.

I'll be pairing the GPU with an i5 4460 and 8gb of RAM.

280X would be the best but if you can find a new 380 4GB cheaper I would go for that

Would the GTX 970 be worth the extra 150$? I'm in Canada BTW which may be why prices are wonky, the r9 380 (4gb) is actually cheaper than the r9 280x. I don't want to spend more then I absolutely HAVE to.

380>280x>280
