Yeah probably the 390, the 970 is overrated imo

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PRO | G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x16GB @3600MHz CL16 | AMD Radeon 6800 XT | Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5 w/ Tempered Glass | Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB + ADATA SU800 2TB | Corsair HX1000i | Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black

400-500 R9 Fury

350-400 R9 390x

250-350 R9 390

200-250 R9 380x

150-200 R9 380

100-150 R9 370

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

XFX > Sapphire > Gigabyte > Asus

MSI would be #1 but they dont make fury cards.

Sapphire has the best Fury. The Nitro Fury not the trixxx fury. Only fiji card with a custom PCB, dual bios and is the best overclocking fiji card.

I have an r9 390x and I can say it's a great card however, I'd look into a used 290x and possibly look into watercooling it for bigger overclocks since the 390x is basically an overclocked 290x with 8GB or RAM.

When it comes to warranty I would prefer the XFX card

But if you want the best card and dont care about warranty sapphire is the way to go.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Well... Other options are the r9 Fury and the 390x. 

 

I'd only reccomend the Nitro for Fury but the 390x has more options(Sapphire, Msi, Powercolor, XFX) 

The GTX 980 is actually not bad though, why do you not want to go with it? Are you keeping the card for DX12?

Well, The EVGA, 2gb superclocked 980Ti is priced on Amazon at $650 US. 

The Gigabyte, 4gb R9 Fury is priced on Amazon at $470 US. 

The XFX, 4gb R9 380x is priced on Amazon at $230 US.

 

There is an $180 Dollar difference between the Fury - 980ti.

 For the current games i play, BeamNG.Drive, A Story About My Uncle, World Of (Series), Starwars BF, and Warframe

All i honestly need is the 380x, But i wan't to play other games i just know my gpu can't handle too much

And even if say the 380x wasn't as good as some of those games require...I'm on an F-ing 2003 Hand-Me-Down gpu.....

I'm pretty sure i wouldn't care that much that i couldn't run 4k at 60fps, Cause the current games i play i have to set at lowest and minimize my tab to half my monitor running 25fps....

 

But i wanna future-proof my gpu power a little more with something like the Fury...Thats why i don't really wanna hop aboard the 980 Train

I'm talking about the GTX 980. Not the 980 Ti.

Fury Nitro I guess. Better 980s are still more expensive than a Fury Nitro.
