Which one would you pick (being the same price), and why?

Accidentally posted in general, sorry.

for any resolution up to 1440p, go with the GTX 780 Ti's, for 4K or triple 1440p monitor gaming, go with the 295x2 as the extra VRAM and larger 512 bit memory bus start to make a significant difference at those resolutions.

The R9 295X looks a bit ghetto. AMD could've done better.

It's only reference, I'm sure msi would make it looks top notch.

I would pick the R9 295X2 - Runs cooler, quieter and performs better. Don't care so much about the 60-70w over the Ti's. This is based on me putting it into a Mini-ITX rig though.

I'd definitely go with 780ti SLI. It would look better and it should perform better than the R9 295X2. it would run hotter, but that doesn't really matter as long as you have a good gap between the cards and good case airflow. If you watercooled them later, it would look even better and run cooler than the R9 295X2.

it would look good if they made it look like the ares 2. Maybe they will if they ever make aftermarket coolers.
