280X or GTX 770?

[Legolas8181]

Which should I go with? Looking at a Sapphire 280X for £240 and an Asus 770 for £275. Does the 770 perform well enough to be worth the money?

the the full tahiti chip is faster than the full gk104 kepler. if you never plan on running two cards and you dont need cuda acceleration then the answer is easy.. 280x

both perform similarly, trade blows depending on game and reslution, i think the 770 is slightly faster overall, but it would depend on how high the factory overclock is on both cards. probably not worth the price difference though, no.

I looked an benchmarks and the only game the 280X won in is BF4 and that's because BF4 is optimised for AMD. Everywhere else was either a draw or GTX pulling out.

There performance is very close. 770 is only 3% better so go with the cheaper one.

different clocks... overclock them both and the tahiti always wins... it held all the world records and benchmark suites and gaming charts(until titan) after average overclocks and its cheaper.

Stock clocks: GTX 770 is faster. R9 280x is better value and fractionally slower. Overclocked: R9 280x wins.
