R9 280X without a doubt

GTX 770 but actually IAMEXTRMEME is right, take a look at this. The GTX 770 has a 150 MHz higher core clock speed than the Radeon R9 290X, but the Radeon R9 290X has 48 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 770

pls compare 280x

Really it depends on what games you be playing. A 280X would usually cost less.

GTX 770 will give you 3 free games and has features to aid video recording, encoding, and 3D gaming. Go for it if its worth the premium to you.

On the other hand the 280X is just a rebranded 7970 GHz. Both would perform better in AMD titles like Battlefield 4 and future games using the Frostbite engine (Dragon Age Inquisition, Mirror's Edge 2, Need For Speed Rivals, Star Wars Battlefront, next Mass Effect)
You might find a 7970GHz for the same price and comes with 3 free games too.

well im planning to play minecraft combatarms and maplestory and lol but im planning to get call of duty to the new one also if they will have gta 5 coming out for pc i will like to buy it :3

 

[nikoli707]

their both neck and neck in games, or +/- 3% depending on the game. like huilun02 said, if you need cuda for the added performance over opencl in non gaming applications, the nvidia holds a definite advantage over the amd. one thing the amd card does hold a huge advantage over the nvidia card is the 3gb of 384bit vram. if your playing on 1080p this, for now, isn't much of a difference but if you play modded skyrim, or plan on going with a 1440p monitor at anytime, the amd card holds much more significant value over the 2gb vram models of the 770, unless your looking at the 4gb models. down the road with its time to sell the card and upgrade, and 1440p monitors are the norm for the computer world, video cards with more vram will have better value than those with less.

im not a big gamer to be honest im going to play on 1920x1080 or higher but im probbaly just going to stick with 2010-2013 games but once gta 5 comes out on pc and the new cod which i hope they will have gta 5 for pc ;3 ill buy them and what card do u think i should get?

 

[nikoli707]

gta5 is definitley coming out for the pc, and skip cod ghosts and get battlefield 4... cod is for consoles, battlefield is for computers that are vastly faster than consoles. just get the 280x then since its about $30 cheaper

 

[huilun02]

Then I suppose it doesn't really matter. Minecraft and MapleStory can be played with integrated graphics, while CoD Ghosts and GTA 5 have not been released or benchmarked yet.

So it's between the 770's free games and features, and the 280X's advantage in Frostbite engine games and scaling at higher resolutions

 

[sheratchet]

what do u mean by free games and features? im not a big record like im just going to be posting videos or giving them to my freind to edit and he posts them just like having fun or trolling to.

 

[IAMEXTREME]

Don't go for the free-bees.
Get the card which performs the best in you budget which actually is 280X.

😀 agreed

would it work with this motherboard? MSI H87M-G43 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

 

[nikoli707]

thats a microATX motherboard designed to fit into a smaller than normal computer case. miniITX is the smallest and just "ATX" is the normal run of the mill computer case size which most motherboards are made to fit.

Yes it will

 

[sheratchet]

does the processor make ur videos look a bit better?

 

[sheratchet]

can it fit a atx case?

 

[IAMEXTREME]

It will fit the ATX without any problem.
