770

Whichever is cheaper.

They're pretty much neck to neck in performance.

I ran into the same dilemma. I suggest considering the technologies they come with (Mantle, Easy Eyefinity, G-Sync, Shadow Play.. don't know what else) and evaluate their importance to you. I bought the 280x for eyefinity and because I'm more interested in mantle. Plus, it was cheaper at the time.. stupid mining So far, I'm enjoying my 280x. It has no problem running BF4 and AC4 on eyefinity.

Battlefield 4 is optimized for AMD GPUs. I recommend going with any of the R9 280, 290 or 290x for optimal performance with Mantle.

What other games do you play?

The 280 obviously, they are partners with DICE. You get more ram and when mantle eventually launches you'll get retarded amounts of performance benefits, even in crossfire. 

 

Honestly though, I'd try and wait out these price hikes. I think realtek has the r9 290 for 400 dollars still, you might consider that.

Everything can run DayZ on max settings. Nothing can run it well on max settings though.
