R9 280 vs R7 370 4GB GDDR version

[Nathan_61]

So I recently built my gaming PC with has an R7 370 MSI Gaming Edition ( which holds a 4GB GDDR5 Video RAM instead if the conventional 2GB for its other brand), I am thinking about buying the R9 280 but it only has 3GB of VRAM, would it be a good idea to buy it or just save it for a month and buy the R9 390x.

Well wouldn't be better to wait for the RX 480 benches (tomorrow) it may drive prices down.

No. Even the RX 470 coming out for around $150 tommorrow will have alot better performance and minimum 4 gigs of VRAM.

The R9 280 will beat it (in fact 4gb is a complete waste on that card). But as mentioned the RX 470 and RX 480 are out tomorrow and blow them all away for cheaper.
