!buying 780ti or 290x in 4 hours, can't decide :(

[dacav5fan]

so guys, i'm finally goin to buy a new gpu, the 780ti or the 290x, price difference is like 100€/135$, so i would spend those 100€ more for the ti, but i still can't decide if the 290x may be better in the future cuz of it's 4Gb. i'll use the gpu only for gaming and rendering videos, so no mining.

 

my specs:

• i7 3770k @ 4,5Ghz
• Corsair vengeance 16Gb
• Asus sabertooth z77
• aircooling
• i'll need a new psu like the be quiet e9-cm 580w

I say 780Ti

[Vitalius]

Buy the 290X for Mantle, TruAudio, and higher minimum FPS. 

What resolution will you be playing at? 

I know you said "no mining", but you can set it to where it will only mine when you are not on the computer. You don't have to, of course, but I'm just saying: There's no real point not to mine if you have an AMD GPU. It's easy. 

[DyGr00339]

Why no mining? Just do it when you are sleeping?

 

Anyways I still recommend 290X beacuse of mantle, better on 4K, and is just Bada$$ 

[needmorewood]

if ur going to use open CL at some point tin tome then definitly r9 290
open cl 2.0 + video editing = Kreygasm

[Cwazywazy]

I say 290x and make money mining on it at night.

[Coombzy]

780 ti all the way for pure gaming grunt

[MegaDave91]

I would probably get the 290x if I was buying a graphics card right now, simply because of Mantle.

gtx 780ti

[SirReallySam]

Either have their ups and downs... Whatever you need it for basically

[dacav5fan]

well i have one 2560x1600p and two 1920x1200p screens but won't use eyefinity and all that stuff, i about mining, i just think that it costs more to let the gpu work than i ll get from mining and that ll decrease the live time of the components haha i now maybe just a lil bit

[TheSLSAMG]

780 Ti. It runs cool, is not profoundly overpriced and you don't want to mine.

[dacav5fan]

and i ll edit videos in after effects so i guess amd is better with that program? cuz open gl or sth ^^

[legopc]

780ti but thats just personal preference

After Effects doesn't support any other hardware acceleration except CUDA for now, so nvidia would be the way to go.

- Gforce Experience (Shadowplay etc.)

 

 

There is amd gaming evolved too

I have got a few questions 

1. What games are you playing?
2. Will be recording game-play?

[target39]

R9 290, non X, with non-reference cooler.

It's better in terms of value, frame buffer, Mantle, OpenCL, mining, etc.

Sure, the GTX 780TI comes with the slightly "better" GPU in terms of TDP, number of SMXs and TMUs, but the R9 290 has many features that make the slightly inferior GPU, which you can overclock to surpass the GK110, perform better in games, video rendering and mining. OpenCL allows AMD cards to render video and mine cryptocurrencies at a much faster rate than CUDA cores, and games that support Mantle will see a more consistent, smoother, higher frame rate, than without it.

Sony Vegas Pro 12 is a great video editor that supports OpenCL. You shouldn't be using After Effects to edit videos anyway, it's more for animations. Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, and Sony Vegas Pro are the proper video editing programs you should be using for professional applications.

[Swegly]

780ti for pure carnage in games   290x for 4k and stuff

I dunno. My 780 is a beast with After Effects. OpenCL/GL is great, though nVidia has CUDA, so it may be a toss up on that.

well i'm playing arma 3 bf4 and crysis 3 black flag and well all that stuff, and yeah i ll maybe record gameplay

[dacav5fan]

well i use After effects for animations to like 3d models and well to edit Raw videos from my camera, at 2,5k so  4Gb may be a good idea but i haven't that good experience with amd drivers in the past

[dacav5fan]

mantle won't be a thing for me i guess at the moment i ve got a solid cpu so i won't profit that much maybe 7% max, in the future maybe but not now or in the next year

You'll be perfectly fine with 3gb on the Ti, besides all adobe suite programs have specific optimizations made for CUDA which would help you out greatly with your 3d modeling and photography

well guys, i ve bought the" Inno3D GeForce GTX 780 Ti iChill Herculez X3 Ultra" thx for the help
