The 280x is neck and neck with the 770. It's no surprise that it would outperform the 760.

and its cheaper then a 760???WTF

Prices vary depending on region, time of purchase, and marketing. The more expensive option isn't always or even often better.

Seeing as 770's and 280xs trade blows in some games, theirs no surprise that dual 280x's beats dual 760s.  Don't know why 280x's are so cheap though, thought they were through the roof still because of mining.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

The prices started dropping back down a while ago.
