Not Sure if I should Wait or Buy

[andreii10]

Hi guys!

I'm currently gaming on an old Acer laptop I've had since 2011 (I'm a graduating student in Uni btw) and I've finally saved up enough money to buy a new gaming rig and I've been planning on buying it this coming April. I've decided to go for the R9 390 since I've read everywhere that it beats the 970 in everything except power efficiency. The problem is I'm not so sure if I should go ahead and buy it or wait for a few months for the next gen video cards to come out. I really only plan on gaming on 1080p for now since I only have a 1080p screen, but I do plan on buying a 144hz monitor later this year. It would be really great to hear your suggestions guys. Thanks in advance! Cheers!

the 390 would be better at 144hz for most games, but the 970 isnt bad either. I havea 970 and push 120+ in BF4 and battlefront. But that's for well optimized games. the lesser optimized ones would do better with a 390. plus, if you go above 1080p than the 390 would be best. or 980ti 😛
