Posted July 26, 2014 The R9 280X is better priced generally and has an extra GB of VRAM, helping performance in some ways. Although, you could also get a 4GB GTX 770, which offers more usable VRAM buffer.

Posted July 26, 2014 Ugh. What are you going to be doing with the system? What components is the GPU going to be paired with? Where are you located? I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

Posted July 26, 2014 It pretty much comes down to which features you want. Nvidia offers software like the GeForce Experience and shadowplay, which I personally like. However AMD's card might offer better performance at the cost of lacking software. That's my two cents.

Posted July 26, 2014 Why no video editing? I was asking if you weren't doing video editing. CUDA generally works better for video editing and such, except in cases like Sony Vegas, where they have optimized their software for OpenCL very well. If you are not making videos using something like Adobe programs, then I'd go with the 280x, and you could still do video editing while sacrificing the efficient use of some plugins using your video card. If you ARE video editing, often, then I'd go with the 770, as CUDA is more widely used.

Posted July 27, 2014 The r9 280x gets my vote. Its cheaper, has an extra gig of ram, and outperforms the 770 in BF4. Although the 770 probably slightly beats the 280x in more games than not by a small margin, at least in 1080p.

Also, I am an AMD fanboy I don't think they're quite on the same level yet. Nvidia's shadowplay supports more games than AMD's game DVR.

Posted July 29, 2014 280x, i have a windforce card and i love it, has all the features i need and helps in adobe stuff and vegas if you edit, and the cards perform well enough that you dont even need shadow play really, but it helps.

Posted July 29, 2014 Someone has to make a guide on which card is optimized for you. Then some mod can sticky it, so we don't have these constant threads about whether which one is better. hehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehheh SWIGGITY SWOOTY I'M COMING FOR THAT BOOTY hehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehheh huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue LINIXTEKTEPS R DE BES I LUV LINUX huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 30, 2014 If your in Australia, The 770 is about $100 more, but I don't see it being $100 better, they are basically neck and neck on the performance scale. It's been a while since I had any experience with AMD drivers so I can't comment on them but based purely on price/performance the 280x wins quite clearly.
