Just buy a free-sync display instead

I just spent a ton of money on a new monitor :^) no thanx

>>52094813
Was it free-sync?

>>52094739
I wouldn't bother. Get a 290/290x/390 if you want to see a solid increase in performance.

>>52094739
the 380 is essentially the 270X with 4gb ram verse 2gb in your 270X. What games exactly are you playing that are struggling on your 270X? Because considering your price range, you should just stick with what you have.

If you can increase your budget, get a 390 (new) or 290 (used).

>Or save you money and get an i5 and z97/z170 motherboard. Awesome CPU + decent GPU > meh CPU and+ amazing GPU

No. 380 is modified 280(285).

280 is 7950.
270X is 7870.

Its 1 tier up.

>380 is modified 280(285)

No. The 380 is a 285 rebrand, but they have absolutely nothing to do with the 280. Completely different chip and a newer architecture.

Wait for Arctic Islands.

You are confused. 285 is a slightly tweaked 280 with GCN 1.2 update. 285 is then rebranded as 380. So technically 380 is a rebrand of a 285 which is a updated rebrand of a 280 which is a rebrand of a 7950.

Go nvidia, at least they don't slap a new name and some vram on an old card and sell it as new.

no.

>>52094739
Currently using the same card, also want a new one, but I decided to wait for this years gpus. A lot of new technologies are likely coming.
Also if you bought a new monitor and it ain't free sync, then you're either poor or you fucked up.

Are you retarded?
