[BaconPie]

Hi!

Which is better?

Games im gonna play

Watch Dogs

BattleField 4

and 

Battlefield Hardline soon!

 

and please if you vote for the GTX 770 or R9-280x and what kind of Power supply needed

 

Thanks advance and God bless!

 

Im in the same situation, but I think GTX 770 for me, because of Shadowplay. 1080p performance is almost exactly the same, and I can get my hands on it at the same price as 280x.

thats the module price. Monitors that come with it from factory won't have that price for sure. At least it will work on most gpu's that exist and not only 260 + 290 and newest architecture. And no, it's not any dp. Must me 1.2a or newer

still i wouldn't pay more than 50$ for it; let's say 50+10$ (10 for the components and 50 for the tech) , when freesync is gonna be released that's how much you will pay, it's a cool tech but not for a rig that goes for 60 fps

 

the same way 780 price went down when amd released 290

I thought you can an R9 290 for around the same price?

 

EDIT: It's around $30 more expensive (In New Zealand.)

i completly feel you, trust me, i do (i own amd ) 

The point i was trying to make is that most monitors equiped with any of those features is like a premium monitor. You don't simply buy a random monitor waiting to have it, not in the near future anyways. I would pay an extra for that kind of premium. I play alot of ping-depedant games and i cannot turn vsync on or it will mess up timming between visual animation and real casting of the spell/skill on the server, making me go "wtf happened".

I would pay the extra 50$, be it for nvidia or amd.

Nah. They're pretty equivalent power wise. It's the R9 290 and 290X that consumes noticeably more power than its competitors, the GTX 780 and 780 Ti. I run my R9 280X on a decent 500W PSU, though my CPU is running at stock clocks. It's completely stable, even if run my R9 280X overclocked a bit when running on 3 monitors.

In Battlefield 4, the R9 280X is faster. In Watch Dogs, they're practically equal.

Thanks  and God Bless!!!!
