I'm also considering the R9 380
Just wondering though is it that much of an upgrade over the 2GB 6900 I have now though?
Stats wise it looks like it's basically double everything the 6900 is, however my rig is still reasonably powerful in all other aspects
i7 6800k
16GB ram
Etc etc
Is the R9 a card that's going to last me another 3+ years or should I be waiting/spending more at this point in my rigs life?

Ended up ordering the sapphire R9 390. Should be killer for the upcoming releases! Can't wait to see battlefront on ultra

Thinking of upgrading my graphics card. Currently using a gtx620. Any recommendations for anything under $200? Was looking at this http://www.ncix.com/detail/evga-gefo...94334-1277.htm | |

unless you are power-constrained by a crappy PSU...spend just a bit more to get the gtx 950 http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX58828
it's a new card that performs better...the 750ti is almost 2 years old

make sure there's a dual slot space where your video card connection is
look for a 6-pin PCIe power connector from your PSU
then you should be good to go

the 960 on promo is about the same price as 950 about 30 bucks more from time to time and its worth the 30 for sure

Ohhhh..you nasty huh?
Fuck..reading reviews however with the normal 390 it seemed like my corsair HX650 would be good enough but now on this overclocked version says right on the box 750+ :/
Guess I'll set it up see what the pull is, probably need a new PSU in short order

650w should be okay unless you overvolt, turn up the power target or jack up the memory clock.

Was looking at spending around 3 but didn't make much sense in terms of the longevity, also the rest of my rig is still reasonably high end so an extra couple hundred wasn't a big deal.
I always seem to hit a bad time to upgrade where in new tech is just around the corner, but I guess you could really say that about anything

Buddy of mine bought a Sapphire R9 270X but it isn't playing nice with his Intel CPU, so he's offering to sell it to me for $200. Would it be a worthwhile upgrade from an HD7750 or 7770?
