Posted July 25, 2016 Hardly an upgrade from your current build. If you're looking for an upgrade, you should be considering the GTX 980Ti or the GTX 1070.

Posted July 25, 2016 If you OC your 290 Vapor-X you will probably get close to the 980 Turbo as that one has NO OC potential on it.

There may be something you could pick up used for cheaper but save your money for now. 'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum. Be nice to each other boys and girls.

Posted July 25, 2016 Ugh it's a close one to choose. If you compare it to a 1060 it costs about the same and gives about the same performance. If you care about efficency and you're patient then 1060. 980 if otherwise.
