Hi I'm looking to get new gpu. Which way I should go AMD OR Nvidia from the price and performance point of view???R9 290x or gtx780??

I'd say get a Sapphire 290X within your budget.

I know that is least important but my color sheme is white-black with some red accents and i really would like to keep it that way......

You can look into the Powercolor PCS+ 290x then?

What res are you gaming it? do you really need a 290/780?

I use 1080p monitor but i will upgrade in few months to 1440 and do want play on ultra for while.....

I think U should go for ASUS DirectCUII/MSI Gaming, GTX 780/290X.

Asus Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC 4096MB is for 359.99 orKFA2 GeForce GTX 780 HOF 3072MB GDDR5 379.99????

i would pick the 290x just for the higher memory bus.

Honestly, as much as i want the 780, I would say to pass on it for now. Its inferior in almost every way to a non-reference 290, and is also more expensive.

Speaking of that i really hope the 800's launch brings a price drop on the 780 so i can justify buying one...

what you think about that owercolor Radeon R9 290 PCS+ OC 4096MB £300

And sell the free memory.

Its got'a be worth £50 on the bay

AMD Gamer 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit £90

or get 2 of those cards???

Why not have a look at the XFX DD 290, Tom done a wicked review last a couple of weeks ago . I couldn't decide between the 290, or the 780, but after watchibg his video, I was sold instantly, so much so I bought 2. On the plus side it's a sexy as hell.

If you want PhysX which The Witcher 3 will have then you should go Nvidia. PhysX does add something to games and while the library isn't huge in terms of how many games use it there are some pretty significant games that do.

Don't think choosing one game to get a single feature over another card is worth it. After he beats it then what? Doesn't matter anymore. The 290 tends to be a better performer and its cheaper. Its has just as many good features so its really a no brainer purchase. If he ever plans on going higher res too than its an even better choice since it has more vram. Its more a future ready(not proof as nothing ever is) card than the 780.

The original Titans were very future proofed, I ran this on mine the other day to settle an argument. (I had to use Resolution scaling as I did not have three 4K monitors laying around).

My obsolete Titans running 6144 x 3456 Resolution

In pixels = 21233664

BF4 maxed out.

=60fps average.
