GPU advice

Hey Guys...

 

 

I've got a choice between two gpus ..

 

Sapphire Radeon R9 290 TRI-X              589$

ASUS DirectCU II OC R9290                    499$

 

Is there any difference performance wise ? I'm personally inclined toward the asus dcuII but is the extra price worth it ?

 

I also have the option of : EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler       609$.

Tri-X R9-290 altthough the DCU is also good choice, that cooler is very efficient, but the Tri-X look better

Sapphire, the asus cooler sucks on this card because they slapped a gtx780 cooler on it and it doesn't fit right.

For this gen on AMD cards, do not use the DCU II. The other two are great choices! MSI also has a nice 290 for less money.
