Wait for reviews. Im sure bf1 will be included. I recently sold a 290 tri x OC new edition to a guy on an i5 intel and 380. He thought card was broken... He gained nothing.
It was evident immediately he is system bottleneced by cpu @3.5 and ram at ddr3 1600.
Preety much all reviews with a faster cpu shows the 290 @ nearly double the 380 performance.
There is a good review with the new radeon relive drivers pitting 290 vs 480. Google is your friend.
Based on this as i had been pondering 480 i chose to add a second used 290 on water as it offered little cost with decent gains and trails a pair of 480s by a small margin in only 50% of games.
Fyi in no way am i reccomending used 290s...mine are on water. If not on water they suck bigtime.

I've got no strings to hold me down.
To make me fret, or make me frown.
I had strings but now I'm free.
There are no strings on me
