I understand, this question has been asked a gazillion times. Believe me, I've scoured the forum and every time I set my mind on a recommended graphics card, reading the next thread changes my mind.
I'm on a budget ($350-$400 max) and I'm desperately in a need of a graphics card to support my 1440p monitor. I might bite on a future 4k monitor deal if I find one, and if I do, I just want the games I like playing (Far Cry, Crysis) to be playable.
I have my eyes on a short list of graphics cards:
GTX 970
GTX 980
GTX 780 Ti
R9 290x
R9 390
R9 390x
I found the 290x for $200 and I was very close to taking it but I checked the 1440p benchmarks and 30fps isn't going to cut it for me.
I don't know a lick about the 780 Ti.
The 390 and 390x are close in price to the 980. Which is better for me? I'm not a competitive gamer but I do want a smooth experience. The price of the 390 is attractive. Should I bite on it? Between the 390x and the 980, which is better suited for my specifications?
The AMD cards generate a lot of heat and my computer just doesn't have sophisticated cooling
assembly available.
Thank you,
