  grab one thats onsale.  look around on amazon and new egg,  prices and promotions change rapidly.   asus, gigabyte and msi make some great coolers, and so does saphire.  vapor x drool.      whats your budget? can you wait a few months?  i have a feeling there will be another shakeup with card prices soon.

Great deals on openbox cards on Newegg. $160 for a 280 and $180 for a 760.

well you know to keep your eye out.  you can watch what everything is doing and catch a deal.   watching vid card prices is crazy,

i'm sorry but the r9 280 is a superior gpu to the 760...it also have an extra gb of vram.

i mean just look at the benchmark youve linked the r9 280 is the clear winner here.

 

you are correct. I own both a 7950 (280) and 760, and the 280 is superior. My 760 will hold stable 1296/7150 clocks, and the 280 @ 1125/6000 is about 5-10% faster in benchmarks, and its a crappy overclocker. in gaming, the 280 holds a better minimum framerate, and higher average. there's really no contest when the 280 is so cheap.

[Projohn]

Or if I save up enough money and wait till a big sale or promotion I'll be able to snatch it even for christmas.

Check again, fixed.

I'd show you 1600p benches, but I don't want to crush ALL your dreams.

[Projohn]

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Oh I love Jayz videos so I'll check this out.

According to the vid you posted

GTX 760 vs R9 280

Dirt 3 = 3fps difference

TR 2014 = 4fps difference

BF4 = 3fps difference

 

Overall not a big difference and both GPUs offer the same perceivable gameplay experience. Without being a fanboy these GPUs are both equally good in practice and one should choose one based on brand loyalty because of this fact. I am loyal to AMD because they offer best value and this fact stays true here because of the added free games.

[Projohn]

Still a difference

[I/O]

Still a difference

Not perceivable in practice. They are extremely competitive with eac hother especially when you factor in that all games tested were AMD optimized.

[i_build_nanosuits]

...and the 280 as an extra gb of vram which is very important and should be considered as well.
