lol lol your comparing this to a card over £300.... the mind boggles.

There is always something a bit better for a bit more.....

Good price, very good option for 1080p gaming

Hold your horses on buying a new graphics card , the 1070 Should help bring prices down in general , which will have a knock on effect on all cards , I recently bought a r9 285 boxed like new delivered on eBay for £72.00 , prices will drop further as all the 2nd hand cards come onto the market that will be burning the previous owners fingers as they upgrade.

good price, but this is 2gb version

good for regular gaming, but no lifespan

if you're interested in VR, or new and more demanding games, go with something a bit more future proof

You can get the R9 290 (basically a 390 with 4GB RAM instead of 8GB) for 1080P/1440P gaming & VR if you're not looking for 4K anytime soon - you can pick them up for around 170 on ebay

Or wait for the Nvidia 1070 to be released on May 27 and take the ~230 spot for decent 4K gaming

either choice will serve you well into the next few years

Good price but I would hold buying any graphics cards and CPUs for that matter until AMD reveals their stuff, which although will probably not be Nvidia 1080 beaters but should offer you 390X performances for less than half the power usage and at much cheaper prices.

Well, not exactly - the 960 tends to have a much higher overclocking ceiling and can catch up to and even overtake the 380 in Windows. The 380 is also stymied by a weaker CPU - even a low-end i5 can hold back a 380 and cause stuttering in some cases. If you have any interest in a Steam Machine or using Linux at all, AMD's performance is shockingly bad (an £80 GTX 750 outperforms a £450 Fury). Finally, AMD doesn't make as good use of their VRAM - you'll hit the performance limits of 2GB more quickly on a 380 than on a 960.

But at £130, the 380 is basically going head to head with the 950, not the 960, where it's no contest - the 380 is the clear winner for a Windows machine, even with a lowish-end CPU. Hot!

It's about finding the best ratio between cost and performance :smiley:
