yes, The r380 should be obsolete by July of this year. Still a super solid card. Just not bleeding edge

With the 8g of ram you should be fine for at least 6 months to a year

No such thing as future proof.. Electronics and technology in general is old before its even released.
I wouldn't be buying a 300 series card..especially now as they were rebranded 200-series to begin and the next gen are literally weeks from release..at least on the Nvidia side.
At $379 a brand new Nvidia GTX 1070 makes worlds more sense then a several year old 300 series at a higher price point.

i live in europe so i dont know when they going to be available here
im pretty sure we wont get them at launch
problem is that i need a graphics card now
because mine is damaged right now
and yes it sucks very bad timing to have a fcked up card now
i was thinking buying the r9 370 4gb :

you think for €173 for just the time beeing (like 1+ year) would be ok?
how does the r9 370 4gb compare to the hd 7870?

I feel you, I'm gonna have to drive into the US to grab a new card cause we get ruined here in Canada on exchange and inflation.
If you need to grab a card now, I suppose the cheapest you can find in the 300-series with 4GB is best bet... Your exchange isn't straight forward into USD either. Are there any R9 380 for dirt cheap at a local shop??
