Radeon counter parts

[Alec5442]

What is the Radeon counter part of the gtx 770 4gb? The EVGA gtx 780? The 780ti?
And on another note, which gtx 780 is better (the EVGA ASUS gigabyte etc)? Now that Ives researches nvida cards I want to compare them to Radeon cards. Thanks you the help and input guys/gals.

GTX 770 competes with R9 280x, GTX 780 with R9 290, GXT 780 Ti with R9 290x

Which GTX 780 is better... Asus has excellent coolers, eVGA has excellent customer service, both make great cards. MSI and Gigabyte are good too. Look at the clocks, not just the brands - some cards come with higher clocks from the factory and get more fps.

If you're in the United States and looking at a 770 or 780, you cannot go with their amd counterpart due to price inflation. If you go with nvidia go with EVGA. Their cooler is pretty close to ASUS in performance, but ASUS doesn't OC their cards much while EVGA does, so you'll get a slightly faster card.

I should have mentioned, I paired them by performance (e.g. fps in BF4).

Prices are high for AMD cards right now because of the litecoin mania.

Yeah I figured as much but didn't know until know. How better are the fans for the asus gtx 780? Will they manage in bf4/wow ultra at around 70fps? I'll be using the haf x case, i7 4770k has well with a h100i and the asus VI hero RoG mobo

These reviewers got 65 fps with a GTX 780/1080p/ultra.

IIRC their CPU was an i5-3570k (not as powerful as your i7-4770k at stock, but they overclocked it).
Performance will depend on the card's clocks and the CPU. You may get anywhere between 60 and 70, I expect.

Asus makes some of the best coolers. I'm running a 660 Ti Direct Cu II and it's silent.

My buddy runs WoW and BF4 maxed out at 1920x1200. Likes to brag how he gets 90+fps in the most stressful situations.

Does your buddy have a gtx 780?

Yea, he bought it pre built so it's just a reference card so the majority of other 780s perform better.
