380 and freesync

[anthonyc813]

Learning about the 8gb r9 380 this morning and was wondering if anyone has this card and paired it with a freesync monitor. If so, how does it preform with games. Non bf4 vs:go preferably advice. My current set up is ASUS mf279q and strix 970 SLi at stock speeds.

Originally I was gonna try to sell my cards for a fury or fury x for the hbm, dx 12 (ready for when a game IS 115x 12) and try out freesync on my 1440p 144Hz monitor.

The more reviews I read the more people are praising the new AMD cards and less bitching it's a repackaged 290x.

I honestly cannot say if I even experience screen tearing right now. I do loom for it but I really don't notice with the games I play. Some lag spikes in raids and texture pop in with Dragon age 1 2 and 3.

I was sold by Linus a year ago with a g sync set up but 800 was not in the budget for a monitor... the ex only gave me 300 for my screen so I technically paid half :-)

Uhm, there's no such thing as a 8GB 380.

R9 380 has 4GB of VRAM and is comprable to the 960
R9 390* has 8GB and is slightly faster than a 970

He probably meant the 390

Why not sell the monitor instead, and replace with a Gsync?

If thats too expensive then yea you could sell your 970s for a Fury.

Yes, 390. My bad. Saw some newegg reviews and it said it's cheaper then the 390x and only 5-10 fps lower. A decent g sync 1440 is 800 US so that's a no go still.

Is it even worth the hassle of buying and selling for adaptive sync technology with what I have?

This 8gb card

I also read and heard g sync works better with a single card

390X is a good card and most use free-sync not G-sync!

Yeah I think I'm gonna look into making the change if u see some good sales in a few weeks.
