Sapphire R9 290X vs. Asus Gtx 780Ti

[PlexQuake]

Which is better if i upgrade and yes it is for gaming?

 

[babachicken]

th 780ti is faster than the r9 290x.

get it, its also better value for the money.

 

[leeb2013]

the 780ti is generally faster, however if you do get the 290x, I can recommend the Sapphire tri-x cooler, it is very good.

The 780Ti is more powerful and better price/performance - probably because of bitcoin mining demand. Both are overkill for 1080p.

The 780TI, no doubt about it, and the Asus CU model you're looking at is one of my favorites. Great card, runs nice and cool and has OC headroom. Good pick

If u have a AMD built then go for r9 290x, if intel then 780ti.
they work better in coherence, AMD + ATI , INTEL + nVIDIA

this is untrue btw.

Watch out your rig, rig of the person commented above you, i7 baby.. please do not say it is a co-incidence , it usually goes, it's not a myth, it's a matter of preference rate, have asked many rig builders too!

May be a matter of preference, but in effect it is a myth, good example is that almost NO AMD mobos that run CPUs even support PCI-E 3, and new GPUs from both AMD and Intel are PCI-E 3. While PCI-E 3 cards are backward compatible to the PCI-E 2 slots AMD mobos utilize, and have enough open bandwidth to run (not to mention they have more PCI-E lanes), the AMD cards will run slightly better on the Intel platform. This is similar to other myths like GB GPUs run better on GB mobos (or Asus or MSI or others), or AMD DRAM runs better on AMD mobos (AMD DRAM is nothing more than rebranded Patriot and VisionTec sticks)

+1 for the ASUS 780Ti DCUII! All around a much better card.
