No. You can get 290x's for $100 less than that.

Where?

Also, a 970 would also use less power than my 760, so I wouldn't need a psu. Do you think a 970 would be a big upgrade over a 760?

A 970 would be a big upgrade over a 760. The 970 will get ~53 FPS on ultra.

See it's not worth it man

New amd gpus out in 10 days
Btw

Oo

I will have to look those up, I've been outa the loop for a while now. Haven't even had my PC turned on in the last few weeks until today.

You think an R9 290x will still trump a 970 anyways?

They'll perform similarly at 1920x1080 once the cards are overclocked. The 290x should beat it out of the box, but not by very much.

As for the AMD 300 series:
IIRC, the 380/x are just rebranded 290/x but with 8GB memory and higher clock speeds. Only the 390 and 390x are new chips.
