GPU: R9 280x or GTX 770

[MysticalBeing]

So, all the R9 280x graphic cards are sold out or the price is a lot higher. I was wondering if I should wait for the R9 280x or go with GTX 770. What are the Pros and Cons of each card if you could describe for me and would I be able to play BF4, Crysis 3, etc... on max settings in 1080p? Thank You .

770 Pros: Physx compatable, better stock performance, able to use gsync on gsync compatable monitor
280x Pros: Higher overclock room, more vram(less if 4gb 770), bigger memory bus for better memory speeds(important for heavy games), Mantle compatable

both will probably play what you want on 1080p

And the 770 has shadowplay if you're into that kind of thing. Regardless of what you pick, performance will be relatively similar.

So, do think I should go for the 770? Or would the r9 280x be a good thing to wait for because of mantle?

im still waiting for the 280x price to drop out of the heavens lol. but if bf4 is what you are going to be playin alot then the 280x will work perfect for that game and others. the 770 will work good with it as well and the only thing it has going for it is it comes with a pretty sweet bundle of games but if the games dont interest you 280x for sure. just wait for the price to be normal which will be who knows when haha
