380/380X or 390, those are the best cards in the mid-range bracket but the 390 would be the best choice.

390.

[Memories4K]

Definitely the 390.

[vodkapump]

Gonna go ahead and agree with the 390.

390

970

 

In Anandtech's recent test, the 970 bests the 390 in the games that I play

Might want to give that a watch.

I quite sure those numbers aren't recent, they probably reused benchmark numbers for the 390's launch before the driver updates.

Those results are from July which aren't indicative of current performance.

I'm pretty sure reviewers, especially when they specify the driver being used, retest all the cards that they use in their graphs. Just to be safe, I double checked with the original 970 review on Anandtech.

Current is first, old is second.

 

Seems that Anandtech uses actual stock 970 clock speeds for their results, so the typical 970 that you can buy is about 10% faster than that.

Hmm, guess it's a good thing you don't play Fallout 4.
