So it is no secret to anyone that any AMD card has a crazy price right now due to the Cyber currency stuff that is happening .

So do you think I should sell my 390 right now and get something like a 980ti or a 1070

I know I could get a 980ti... possibly a 1070 if it sells high and I find a good deal on a 1070?

What do you think?

1070 because best of the 980tis are competitive with the middle of the road 1070s, and they dont have 10 series special shit and power savings

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

A second hand 980ti is a greater pick than a 1070, they are going for cheaper and once you overclock both the 980ti always pulls ahead.

That's exactly what I'm doing with my R9 290 right now. Currently on eBay with time left and price is 1.5x what I could have got for it just 2 weeks ago already. Going to stump up an extra £150-200 to get a Palit Jetstream 1070
