What is the best value gpu for 1440p gaming if I don't have money for gtx 980 ti 

[afyeung]

Used or clearance R9 290

[DominicNikon]

the GTX 980 non ti could do some 1440p gaming

[asiancorruption]

380x? or a 970 or 390 if you need more power

[Goldensapling]

R9 390 is probably your best option

[kakhat]

What can you afford then?

I could afford gtx 980 but I have to lower other components for it

[ivan134]

390x or R9 Fury depending on your budget. If the 390x is still too high, the 390 is the next best thing.

[Overkilled]

390 for 60 fps gaming

If you're just gaming, then yeah, cheap out on all non-performance-based stuff, get the best gpu you can afford.

Also, the 970, even with 3.5GB is good enough VRAM for most 1440p games.  Look up benchmarks for the games you want to play and see if they pass

[Imabigmac]

R9 390x.

If I'm running 1440p the only gpus I'm looking at are the 980 Ti if I can afford it, and the R9 390 if I can't.

I would say R9 390. But it depends what graphics settings you want to play at.

 

And how much you have to spend.

 

Honestly, a 270 or 280 could play 1440p or possibly 4K with all settings at bare minimum.

 

But as you increase graphics settings, the price will go up.

Happily gaming on 1440p with a 390.

Get a monitor with Freesync and you won't notice the missing frames.
