Should i get a 2nd 390x now, or wait for polaris

[Bajantechnician]

so, im waiting for polaris "that 4k-ness)

 

yeah, im running 4k, and i currently have a 390x. Im wondering if I should sell it, before the new series comes out, so it retains its value, and wait until polaris comes out, and I get 1(or 2, depends on performance, as im currently rocking a 4k, 60fps monitor, or just get another 390x?

 

basicly, TL;DL

sell my current 390x, and wait for polaris, or get another to cfx.

 

(I can do 1/2/3 months without my gpu lol)

Thanks

sell it and

ill have to thank mikat for introducing me to this video, too useful

 

btw i doubt pascal and polaris can drive 4k perfectly with just 1 gpu `-` i could be wrong

I thought you had 2?

imo the current 300 series gpu are doing pretty well except their TDP

if you wanna CF 2x 390x, i wont have anything against it tbh, as long as you can keep them cool

 

and you cant block people in this forum anyway  or can you

yeah. i moved from a titan z to dual 390x. im really happy with amd rn. im most likely going to become a "lite version" amd fanboy lol.

and yeah. im checking my budget to see if i should custom watercool it, if i do get a 2nd one.

 

i dont know lol. never had the need to

meh if you have to spend extra cash to cool them, might as well just sell the card and get cooler running cards

 

performance per dollar my friend

 

and custom watercooling is troublesome...

mostly for astetics. heat wise, they are fine as they are now lol

760t, so its not a cramped case

 

whats more powerful, hawaii, or polaris

i dont have a crystal ball so i dunno

 

but if amd wants to stay in the gpu market then it better be better

but they seem to be boasting about the efficiency not that long ago, so it should be fun to see polaris vs pascal

yeah. i feel like thell be soon domination the cpu section, as they learned from their mistake with bulldozer, and etc, and are now going for more power, as intel is mostly going for effeciency, so intel wont have much performance gains.

on the contrary... not much i expect from Zen, other than it being a great value gaming processor

single thread performance wise, intel is tough to beat imo, amd took too many years off from the cpu side of things

 

again, we'll see how it goes upon release

true

zens supposed to be haswell speeds, and intel should have a max gain of approx 10% in performance, so if this trend keeps going in the direction that it is, 2 gens from now, amd will surpass intel
