Upgrading HD7970/R9 280X

[StrongAsFe]

What should I upgrade to for a good performance/price gain

 

Or maybe CFX it

 

 

i think I should wait

[Aytex]

Wait for what?

I would think Arctic Isles or Pascal.

Overall GPU upgrade

 

i5 3570k as a CPU so it won't get bottlenecked

with a i5 i'd just take a 390 and get it over with, if your budget allows of course

it wouldn't be much of an upgrade though would it

I'd say its a pretty good upgrade, unless you want a 970 for its geforce experience

Meh, I'd say 390X minimum for a real upgrade on this

390 is a lot better than a 7970, but if you don't need the performance, it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait.

you can do a Crossfire with the HD 7970 + R9 280X together

 

HD 7970 = 2048 sp

R9 280X = 2048 sp

 

HD 7970 + R9 280X = 4096 sp

R9 Fury X = 4096 sp
