Hey guys, So Right now I have a r9 390. I've looked at the benchmarks on all of these cards. I want to upgrade my graphics, I'm more or less happy with it. but I recently upgraded my cpu like crazy. and my I've noticed that my Graphics card is taking a lot of hits. So I have some options: Second r9 390? two 970's or (mayyyyyyyyyyyyyybe I can afford two 980 ti's) or maybe one 1080, or two rx 480's. I don't have a preference between team red or green. So, What do y'all think?

What CPU do you have? what games are you gonna play? and what res are you gonna play at?

My 970 does a very comfortable 60 fps in most games at 1440p with the more "meaningless" graphics turned down  at 1440p. What monitor do you have?

I'm playing at 1440p  144 hz I have an engineering sample intel. it's super sketchy but all I know is it's at 8 cores, got it safely to 3.8-4.0 ghz and it has 22nm) been running for 4 months and works so far though haha. and I play a lot of like guild wars, dark souls, h1z1, dayz, some of it gets intensive.

 

EDIT: also I wan't to be gaming at more or less maxed out games, as far as they can go.

Single fastest card you can afford is the recommendation we give for gaming.

I am confused as to why upgrading your CPU impacted your GPU performance in any way other than positively......

It didn't impact my GPU performance, I could have worded that differently, I can now push my games harder, which is putting more stress on the GPU, stress I don't really want to put on it, I'd rather put it in another rig that won't be going though that kind of stress and make it last longer. I just want something that can pair better with my CPU
