i think the 290 has a couple years left for 1080p. mine still chugs along well enough at 1440p!

Depends on what you play. GTAV and CSGO are completely with it's power, not sure about Mafia3, but I suspect the game is a mess regardless of your hardware. If you're not planning to use AMD's equivalent to Shadowplay for streaming (I think it's ReLive) then you should be good. Wont give you anywhere near 100 FPS in most cases though (except CS ofc).

My R9 290 does well enough at 1440p 144Hz with FreeSync, framerates aren't the greatest in some things with max details but FreeSync helps with that.

At 1080p 144Hz it's still flawless. Streaming will work too, its encoder can handle 1080p60 (but not 1440p, the ASIC really craps its pants, but downscaling to 1080p has worked for me.)
