Bought a freesync monitor, sold R9 390.
Which direction woudl you go /g/
RX 480+freesync or 1070+vsync?
Considering the ~$200 price difference I'm leaning toward the 480. Ordered an 8gb model today for $230, but can easily return it.
I'm leaning toward waiting on an AIB 480 and returning the reference 480 or possible going with a 1070 if the price drops to around the MSRP of $380.

Wait for the whole range to come out.

As someone who has used both G-Sync and Freesync I have to say that AMD has the better technology for this. When I played games like Battlefield 4 and Hardline for example. With my 290 I could play BF4/Hardline on Ultra with no AA and get about 60~90 fps at 1440p. But with Freesync it was incredibly smooth. It blew my mind. I mean it was buttery smooth.
But then I decided I wanted more horsepower and bought a 980Ti and a Gsync 1440p/144hz monitor. Sure now I can play BF4 and around 100 ~ 120 fps but it sure as hell did not feel anywhere near as smooth as Freesync did. I could still feel the jitters and micro stutters. And no I wasn't my monitor cause I actually returned it once and got a second and still jittery as hell.
However in games like APB Reloaded both technologies fail to work properly as that game fluctuates in FPS way too much.

Planning on finishing my build within a few weeks so not really an option. If a better option comes out I'll just sell my current card and but the "newer" option.

Make new plans. Waiting is always an option, and it's usually the correct one.
This isn't war, you're building something to game on and store pornography you legally purchased online.
You must realize that the correct answer here was not to sell the 390. Get the cheapest card you can deal with while you wait for the 490. Pray it's good.

Unlike most people on /g/ apparantly I plan to use my PC to play some games soon.

I sold my 390 for $230 and ordered a 480 8gb for $230. Worst case scenario is I replace my 390 with a 480 at $0 cost.
