Hey guys, do you think it's a great idea to take the MSI R7 370 Gaming 2G instead of the MSI R9 380 2GD5T? Because i'm not gonna play recent games. I ask you that because some says that the R7 370 is really old/bullshit.

Thanks in advance,

Osu .. Man, A 370 is waaaaayyyyy more than enough to run three osu clients on three monitors.

Edit: i would also go with nvidia's gtx 950 they're very simillar cards in terms of performance (especially regarding osu...) except the gtx cost's about 50$ less.

I would have spent the extra on the 380 the 370 is old tech(pitcarn) and not likely to be very useful going forward
