What would be a good upgrade for My R9 290 Windforce? My drivers for some reason keep stopping and freezing up my computer, and runs really hot. so I have been looking to upgrade... Other than the 1070 when its released... But other than that what would be a good card?

OTHER than the 1070? What's wrong with the 1070?

If you can't afford the 1080, the 1070 is still a great choice

Yeah I know but i mean like if there where any ideas... I really do want a 1070, but if there was something I could snag at a pawn shop or eBay what would it be?

A cheap 980 ti would still preform very well, but the new features and efficiency of the 1080/1070 make them very appealing.

If you can, get the 1080 or a 1070. The 980 ti would be my next choice.
