R9 290 Vapor-X Or GTX 780GHz

[sweetparan0id]

Hello. I'm very confused on what gpu should i buy. In my country Sapphire radeon r9 290 vapor-x OC is at the same price with Gigabyte GTX 780 GHz edition. I think to buy a 120hz screen too, to push the gpu to the limit. What do you think? (and i ask for 60hz monitor too, i'm not sure about the 120hz, answer for both options please )

The 780GHz will be a bit better in some games, if it is the same price go for it, as for a monitor if you want a great looking monitor on the cheap(60Hz) I love this monitor: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/UM.VH6AA.003
It says 180, but in my country they go for around 120-150 and is a steal at that price

R9 290 has more raw performance, but fps varies from game to game between these cards. So pick the one that has the best cooling.

The R9 290 is however better at higher resolutions, + the extra 1gb of vram with a 512bit bus.

Get the Sapphire Vapor-X R9 290. Its cooling is legendary, quiet and cool. It can be easily overclocked to the same performance as a stock R9 290X. Yet it will run cool and quiet. Also the 4GB VRAM will come in handy going into the future should you decide to go with three displays or a 4K monitor.

This will outrun a 780.
