I was expecting a bit more, something in between the 390X and the 980, not the 390 & 970, and I think that going with 32ROPs limits its performance at resolutions higher than 1080p.

It's a good and well priced card, but if you can, it's worth waiting for the launch of the GTX 1060, to see how it compares to this card.
