current system i5 4460 3.2
16gb DDR3 1866

Shoot me in the right direction, I was considering waiting for the 2016 NVIDIA cards equivalent to drop.. But haven't seen a release date yet.

Thanks for the discussion.

I'd get the 390.
The performance aginst the 970 is very similar, but that 8gb of vram has a good chance of helping you out moreso than the 970's 3.5/4gb.

Plus in this scenario it's a little cheaper :p
but agree with secksi, be sure to look at cheaper sources before biting. (just also be sure those sources give you the free game!)

i chose none in april they show the new pascal gpu at the gpu conference

and they say the new gpu will be released june/july to compete with new amd gpu's


so either of these gpu's will become cheaper in 2-3 months and will become old material

Don't think that makes one bit of difference...honestly. And assuming they are old drivers, they are BOTH old drivers.

lol amds cards have gained why more considering their releasing cards at like 80%

check out recent benches with newer drivers on ocn(or any other place that revisited cards) you will see that amd has increased a shit load over nvidia from drivers they are just late to the game with releasing and optimizing their cards

Is the 390 actually going to be SO far behind the new NVIDIA card? The problem is.. I sold my 750 which worked great. But I got what I paid for it.

So it's decide whether to wait or jump on the 390. Leaning towards the AMD card. Really don't think its worth the 3 months without any decent games.
