Help me to choose!

Hey everyone, I need your help to decide which card should I choose.The Radeon r9 280x or the gtx 770?

Ill use it for gaming, some game recording for a single 1080p monitor.

Hows it better than the 770? I just want to know hows one better than the oder.

more vram so better in watchdogs, errmm i have one

I'd take the Nvidia card because it has better features.

[Paralectic]

GTX 770

280 and 770 are equal but the boost with the 280x is better

770 is faster and 280x is a better value. I would go 280x

Yeah, 3gb is great but isnt it more difficult to record with mantle?(wanna play tons of bf4) As I see the performance of the cards is very close.

Where I live I can get booth for kinda the same price.

well i cant tell you about bf4 cos something in my pc dont like it, and i get bad fps

Thats a shame. But I think the 280x will be the one for me cause 3gb vram is better for future games.

r9 280x. It is cheaper currently (in the US) and can be overclocked to outperform the GTX 770 in pretty much any game. It also has 3gb of vram, which will outperform the GTX 770's 2gb at 1440p.

770 then. Shadoplay makes recording easy and it is faster.

That's very subjective. Most of the features on nvidia cards aren't implemented in games properly because they are proprietary. This means developers have to make their game compatible with AMD too, ultimately not using things like PhysX to their full ability. The only features that work well are shadow play and streaming to shield devices.

other games are fine

770.

If you are doing recording of games then you may want the 770 becuase of shadowplay as it barely impacts performance unlike OBS or something.

Yeah, Shadowplay is the mayor reason, why my choice isnt clear...

Thing is I dont need more than 1080p, and as far as I know 2gb+ VRAM only makes sense above that.The price difference is around 15-20$ so its not a mayor problem.

Well then I may lean towards the GTX 770. Nvidia seems to always be a bit quicker on releasing new drivers for games, and they have Shadowplay, and integrated streaming with Twitch. The GeForce Experience is really underrated as well for quickly optimizing a game if you don't want to worry about tweaking settings.
