your system is not good enough for a 1080


power supply make and model?

look at the new x480 from amd the 8g cards are 240.00 they give you 980 /980ti speeds.

so max what do you recommend? GTX 970? and how would do me with game performance?

a gtx 970 will run most games high settings+ 1080p 60 fps

your cpu will hold it back in some games, but generally a good pairing

i thought my CPU was good xD it costed me 150 back when i bought it, so gtx 970 is the best for my choice ? oh and what about gtx 980? is there much difference between 970 and 980

 

[FRIBERG]

An r9 380/380X would probably work well since the 390/970 will be held back by your CPU

xD this does sound good but isnt the 970 stronger?

 

[FRIBERG]

The 970 is stronger but as I said, it will be held back by your CPU

 

[domko98]

yeah true, okay another question what you think of the AMD Radeon R9 390 8GB Strix Edition Graphics Card
not to sure just looked at a review and 380 nitro seems stronger then the 390 nitro

 

[FRIBERG]

@domko98 The 390 is even stronger than the 970 by ~10% or so. I mean you could get the 390 or 970 and wait to upgrade your CPU for later but that would obviously cost more. IMO you should get the 380 or 380x.

Overclock your cpu or run some tests. Depending on your game and what API you're using you could still benefit from a faster card the GTX 970.

i am not too sure what an API is am thinking of getting the nitro r9 390 which is factory overclocked or just the normal r9 390
