Would this be a reasonable upgrade to an R9 290? Anonymous 2016-09-11 15:50:29 Post No. 56549743 [Report]

sup /g/,
I've been thinking about upgrading my system (http://i.imgur.com/v7Vr9AX.png) a little bit and stumbled upon this deal.

I'm pretty satisfied with my 290's performance but I could do with a little extra FPS in games like the Witcher 3 and maybe the upcoming Battlefield. I'm only gaming at 1080p for the foreseeable future anyway so I would like something that would last me at least another year or so without going down to all medium settings.

I could probably sell my old GPU for 100-150€ on ebay so take that into account when you're looking at the price for this 'upgrade'.

I can't really justify spending Nvidia on a 1070 or something similar, there's no 490 from AMD yet and the 390 is pretty much just my old card rebranded.

That'd be anywhere from 120-190€ extra, anon.

It uses the HBM meme instead of deprecated GDDR5.

or should I just get an RX 480 for the same price as the fury and deal with it?
