i have a gtx 760 looking to invest into either 970 or r9 390 my question is if i only game at 1080p would it even be worth the upgarde?

You wouldn't be hurting yourself by picking up the 970, can't speak for the 390 though. As a prior owner of a 970 I will say that it can run just about everything (cpu not limiting) on ultra settings.

I currently have the GTX 970 OC 4GB edition. And I love it. I was advised to not go for the 390, even though it was very tempting with the amount of VRAM it has.
If you can find a sale on the 970 I would recommend going for that.
Had a 660, went with the 390. Very happy with framerates and quality of video. Running it at 1920x1200 and get 60fps on R6: Siege.
I don't think it's that really necessary to upgrade but you can if you want to. If you do decide to upgrade I would recommend getting this GPU http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Q...ywords=GTX+970
I run a R9 390 it's the fastest card I've owned but of course the software/drivers are garbage in my opinion, can't go wrong with the 8GB's it has.
I don't understand why anyone would need so much vram... Please note that the card only uses what it needs and most 1080p games don't even break 2 GB of RAM and even 4k games don't go over 3GB. More RAM does not mean more performance unless you actually need more.

4gb is fine for pretty much all 1080p games and most 1440p games, it really depends on what monitor you have. I have a 144hz 1080p monitor paired with my 970 and most games will run at 120hz+with some settings turned lower.
I'm waiting to see what new things nvidia brings to the table, but i have a 970 and dont regret getting it. Don't think theres anything better for the price, and i cant afford to spend anymore than that on a gpu
