Hi all,

currently using a Sapphire R9 270x 2G (vapor-x) for about 1.5 years..

I'm thinking of selling it off while it still got some value left (however little) and then upgrading.

I just changed to a monitor w Free-Sync so I'm thinking of pumping in some funds to grade to a GPU which supports this; I will also be still gaming in 1080p for some time...

I'm only looking to spend about 300plus (inclusive of whatever I get from selling my old card).

With the Powercolour PCS+ R9 380x 4G MYST be a good choice?

TIA!

Sensible upgrade?

I would say the rx480 to go with your freesync monitor. Cause that will still be faster than 380x at $399 price point.

RX480 is a neat all rounder. Performance plus all the latest feature set.
