AMD R9 390 vs. 380 for casual 4K gaming?

Is R9 380 good enough for casual gaming at 4K resolution? I'd like to play games like Team Fortress 2 at high settings with stable FPS above 60, and games like Rise of the Tomb Raider or GTA V at medium settings at around 30 FPS.

Casual 4k is an oxymoron

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

i dont even think the 390 will do that...

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Linus made a video where he used a r9 285 and ran TF2 at 4k, which got min of 72 fps. It ran csgo above 60 aswell.

390 will be beter definetly... and 380 will perform worse... possibly a lot... (try to go 390/970 or 390x/980)

At medium settings at 30 FPS. Is it really that much to ask? I'm not trying to game at ultra with 60 FPS

I like how he says 4k, casual gaming and then says Rise of the tomb raider and GTA V xD I mean, are you sure gta and rise of the tomb raider are casual games? ahah

Also: Yes, it is too much to ask from a r9 380. Even at medium with 30fps, it won't work.. 4k is a huge load for that GPU..

All i said was that 285 ran TF2 above 60 at 4k. Obviously a 285 wont run gta and rotr at 4k...

What I mean by "casual" is not hardcore. I don't need the best of the best looks and performance, I just want to launch the game and have fun. So what's the performance I can expect in GTA V with R9 390, at medium settings at 4K?

I play CSGO at 4K with a 760 ... But all you experts reading benchmarks all day sure now better

CS GO Is CPU Dependent, if I wasnt limited by VRAM On my 560 Ti I could easily run 4K, I can run 1440P Fine.

My current build - Ever Changing.

Number 1 On LTT LGA 1150 CPU Cinebench R15

Except it is. Dropping from my i5 to my pentium was a 100 FPS Drop.

unless of course you play at 4K ... then it gets pretty much GPU depended ...

Source games are very CPU dependant. If I have a R9 270 and i5 4460 (which is my current build) I have an average of 150 (80 min and 280 max) FPS in Team Fortress 2. If I change my Radeon to GTX 980 I'll see maybe 20 FPS difference. Same with Portal, Half-Life, CS:GO, and so on.

also there was a big difference in fps between my 650Ti and my 760 ...

Source games are considered CPU dependend, because at resolutions around 1080p the GPU just sits there with little to do.

This changes at higher resolutions though.
