Gtx 780 Ti its better , but if you want to save ur money there is no problem getting R9 290x but make sure that ur get non-referance model .

Pair the gpu with Makimus VI Hero and i7 4770k ti get most out of it . [ ignore this if you have old built 😀 ]

Hope I helped you , don't forget to close the thread ~!!

Make your mind first about card and CPU and then ask for one LOL.
Anyways GTX-780 ti is even better then titan in FPS(for gaming)
its bit costly but reliable coz its nvida and its GTX-TI
it has more Cuda cores then 290x streaming units(cuda and streaming units are more less same thing)

i also agree with this brother here.
if yo can crossfire get 290x if you want a single GPU set up then GTX-780 ti is better.

I would say that 290X and 780 Ti is equal, to say anything else is ignoring most of the results you'd find out there look at HardOCP (http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/11/11/geforce_gtx_780_ti_vs_radeon_r9_290x_4k_gaming/1#.UqbjepEqTfY) Where these to cards face each other.

290X is the most cost efficient but also the loudest, so if you could live with that I'd say you should go for that one on the other hand 780 Ti would be a equally good choice.

@Presler Based on what? I'll always love those fanboys with no facts or logic provided to their answer. Like religion this should be answer with ridicule and contempt.

Like your answer before it's not providing any evidence or fact towards your opining which makes your opinion non-worthy. What makes 780 more future proof then 290X apart from your personal opinion. And sir, your reply should therefore be answer with ridicule and contempt.

I'd say there are nothing that strengthen your opinion that I know of.

You are obviously a teenage n00b, and so are the bozos that gave you their clueless answers.
The correct answer(s) are:
- A teenager with a budget for $400-900 for just a graphics card, means you have a budget for a $2K rig. Where the ph*ck did you get that cash? Your mom's credit card? If you want to waste $700 to play games, you need to grow a brain or get your ass back to school until you can afford a professional workstation for WORK, instead of wasting other people's cash on stupid 3D war games.
- NONE of these cards are pro grade. Having said that, EVERYTHING the rest of the bozos here told you is the exact opposite.
The future is OpenCL and Mantle. Not the proprietary Cuda SHIT. Every single one of the pro software either has or will have full OpenCL support within 2014 and phase out Cuda. OpenCL is supported by the entire community, while Cuda is a closed nVidia PoS.
- The 290X is a marketing JOKE. Get a 290 and watercool it with a ready closed-loop system with that $100 that you save from not buying the 290X.
- 2 X 290s watercooled are the same price as one 780Ti watercooled, and you get 2 cards with 2GB vram MORE, and 512Bit EACH, instead of a single 3GB with only 384Bit. The numbers speak for themselves.
- AMD's support for Linux and open software is second to none. nVidia's is almost non-existent.

So..........do I need to say more on what card is better as an investment and future proof ?
Stay away from nVidia's overpriced CRAP and if you want more games/less pro software buy 2 watercooled 290s,
if you want more pro software/less gaming get a FirePro w7000, the best bang for your (mom's) buck.

..........and STOP asking for advice for pro hardware in consumer-grade forums. Get advice from PROs, not amateur kids.
Btw, the best pro rig for editing is AVID-Dual Xeon-2xFireGLw7000, in case you're wondering. I know, because I have it.
My advice: Stop *king around with stupid games made by idiots that demand a supercomputer to run their shitty code, build a general purpose rig to serve you in every aspect for years, and get a girlfriend to have fun. And change your stupid nickname.
.......teens these days........I'm too old for this crap.

Why are you so agitated? Kids do like to have fun. They also test the waters of life, including others patients. Calm down and also except you are not 100% as to your advice towards gfx card and editing solution. I am an professional editor and I am fluent with 90% of editing solutions. From Avid, Purple, Pinnacle, Sony, Final Cut, Premiere etc. The solutions often flutter from one card to the next. You will find most will not recommend AMD (not to say they don't work), and barely recommend GTX 700's etc. Most, if not all, almost completely rely on CPU power, Ram (speed and size) and HDD SSD speed. More cuda cores help if you are to use a gaming card, but not by much! The best information is on all the respective sites. Also, a 4th gen i7 can easily and effortlessly run all the editing software available with the right hardware matched. An AMD 4 and 8 core fx processors can also make good work with most software too. In fact, I was running a light system for a few months. It consisted of a phenom 9550 and 8Gb of 1333 ram and a humble gt 640. I managed quite well. It only struggled with AVCHD files. I'm not sure of the OTT info from yourself.

I'm an nvidia guy but I still always go with amd because of the drastic decrease in prices. In fairness yes my gtx 770 was amazing and I loved it and all the features that come with it. Still wouldn't pay gtx prices compared with amd. Titan Z £2300 hahahhaha

Do you have Linux? I'm just curious, I'm not attacking, cuz if you have a way that makes the amd drivers good I'd love to get in on it. Cuz as far as performance on windows goes for the price I go amd

Didn't think u was attacking. Nope I have windows 8.1, the drivers are alright it's only on a few games they are bad and if it's a blockbuster game the drivers are fine, for instance I had problems wit watchdogs with my amd and next day they released new beta driver updates and it plays fine

Ah, yeah I heard about that. Pretty jerk move from nvidia honestly. But in Linux area (you can even check under subreddit /r/Linux_gaming) nvidia is hated for it's policy for open source, and AMD disliked for it's slow driver release (but again they've been improving so no complaints there)

Honestly,you look like a retard. I will not even bother to explain why.You are too stupid to understand.
Nvidia cards ARE much better then amd.
Gtx 780 ti cost 100$ more then 290x,but it is way better,and also it don't make rocket noise in your case,and it don't need rocker power.
So I will always go for Nvidia,at least for now,they are better at high end cards.
Except with titan z,that card is bad for the money.

In the UK you can have two new HD 7990's for the price of one of the above cards mentioned. Now AMD have sorted the driver issues, nothing on the planet can compete with that proverbial bang for buck. In fact, on paper, just one is more powerful the respectively mention 290x and 780ti. And, in my experience with of the latest games, a single 7990 is at least 12-20% up on the above (yes, I am aware its a dual GPU. Yet it is a single card). I know because I've had all three. Paired with a reasonable i7 to help with physx, you have quite a mini colossus!

GD65 Z8Z £75
2x MSI HD 7990's £500
Corsair 1200w £160
i7 4770k £200
16Gb @2133Mhz £140
Take your pick of cases, cooling solutions and HHD's SSD's etc £150-£300

£1,075 for bare bones and all round corker for the price of what some PS4's were selling for last Christmas on sheBay.

If you must have one of the above, I would go for the 290x because there is nothing in it at all in an everyday experience. However, I would consider a 780Ti if it were the black edition if money was no issue. Yet, if you only want horsepower and performance for the least amount of cash and you don't care which company makes the horses, definitely go for a 7990 or two!

I have only used Premiere Pro CS6 with the above so far, editing is swift and fluent with no issues.

Nobody mention that card but ok. Still it draw power like crazy. Also it make a lot of noise,and more heat. Gtx 780 ti is better for gaming. Get msi overclocked and there you go. It is single gpu which is alos better. 😉
