780 vs 290

[Chisty Cyrus]

So once again I'm back with a thread my fellow Hardware experts of Tom's Hardware.
I would like to ask you guys about an immaculate and a precise feedback along the benchmarks of both these cards and come to a point that says which card among them is really good.
I mean which of them wins the debate considering the benchmarks.

it's so close it depends on your resolution and game.

As a whole, The R9 290 is on top;

you may find the extra 1GB GDDR5 Vram and wider bus is of great help to you.

The 290 beats the 780 in about everything hands down, however when choosing between amd and nvidia theres more to consider than just fps...for one do you want physx? If yes, then nvidia is the only way to go...also, do you have any sort of restrictions on your power usage or cooling capabilities?....What games do you usually play?...are they nvidia based or amd?
