770 vs r9 280x

[TheGamerChip]

What is better for gaming?

I normally resort to GPU Boss to distinguish differences, even though GPU Boss is purely benchmarking.

i just want to say that its totally different when you buy a third party manufacture for example if you buy the sapphire toxic 280x 3gb ddr5 it will beat any gtx 770 out there

Gtx 770. Have you seen the prices on the r9 280x's? I'm Canadian, and the 280x goes for 500-600 bucks on newegg.....Even the 290 and 290x? The sapphire reference cooler goes for 1K! The same price as the gtx 690 and titan! Not worth going with AMD with these prices drop down until the bitcoin mining dies away. (Which it will be a while)

Still, the 770 wins by a small amount. Depends on each game, like bf4 will love the 280x, but is the price worth for a few more FPS?

if the price difference in your country favors the gtx 770 then go for it in my country the gtx 770 is more expensive than the sapphire toxic 280x

Not only that. Thanks to our dollar being less, we have to pay more +13% taxes. Are you sure the 280x is cheaper? The 280x costs 440 for you, and the 770 costs 390$?

actually the sapphire toxic 280x 3gb ddr5 is 414$ and the gigabyte oc wind-force gtx 770 2gb ddr5 is 435$ and the toxic beats the gtx 770 and is cheaper

You can't just say that. From GPUboss, the gtx 770 wins. But it doesn't mean it's "better" really.

It depends on some games. Some games will favor the 280x, and some will favor the 770. But you also have to take some features into account when you're comparing the cards. Like for one, Nvidia is bring out G-sync. While AMD is bring out mantle, which only a few games will have for now.

The 280x and 770 themselves are comparable in some factors..

 

[mostafa007]

you are right but we are not comparing reference card we are comparing the manufactures cards the sapphire is the best for amd cards and the toxic is the best of sapphire and even if you overclock it you are not void of warranty plus do you know a manufacture gtx 770 card that can beat the sapphire toxic 280x

Thanks all for answering but I live in the UK and both gpus are under £250 so price doesn't mater.
I play bf but I need bf4 so if I get Amd it will be free and I play in 1080 and I will be playing with multi monitors in the future

 

[mostafa007]

then the 280x is better for you plus the 3 gb is better than the 2gb of the gtx for multi monitors
