Getting a bit tired of my very hot and noisy R9 290x

Play a few games at 1440p, rest of PC is a i7 6700 (6th Gen), 16gb ram, NVME and SSD etc so reasonably quick

Whats actually a good upgrade because it seemed like for years none of the new cars were that much quicker than the 290

Has to be Radeon as i have a freesync monitor which i love

The new architecture NAVI AMD cards are your best bet if you don't care about ray tracing. I'd wait a while to buy one though as they've only just been launched and prices are usually inflated due to initial demand.

Free sync monitors now work with NVIDIA GPUs as well.

The Vega cards are pretty well priced at the moment.
