290x or 780 FTW?

[IceTalian]

I don't know what to do. It hasn't been 30 days so I can RMA my 780 and get something else for less price but better. I don't know what to do GPU-wise. Keep my 780 for BF4 or RMA for a better card that is equivalent or lesser value?!

If you only play BF4 you might want to get new Radeon instead but if you like PhysX and dont want to hassle RMA-ing, keep the 780.

[Prince32780]

Most companies allow only defective products to be returned for an RMA

 

If you are returning the product to a computer shop simply because you don't like it, there might be a restocking fee of 10-15 percent.

For your $650 card, you will be losing 65-97 dollars.

 

It's best to keep the 780.

Unless the r9 290x is 2x as fast, it's not worth the hassle.

[whatthe_fuzz]

The 290X would be a better option.

return your 780 and buy the R9. You'll get BF4 free ans its a cheaper card so you'll save a little over $100. Plus the R9 has synthetically performed better than a 780

Where did it perform better? no benchmarks yet whatsoever so what did you smoke? I hate when people use old leaks. Here's the new one:

 

prove that it is not true benchmark. prove.

How can you get the 290x as it hasn't been released yet? And won't be for a month. We have no way to know how it will perform, based only on it's one firestrike benchmark...

[Joe3417]

really connor

[nokturrduk84]

there is no need to get another video card. 780 is quite powerful card. It won't disappoint you in BF4

Dravic, im not going to put up with your nonsense and BS.

Seems like you found that benchmark in MSPaint so go get a real one. Or better yet, post a URL to your source and review website.

You're trolling because you say R9 290X is faster than GTX 780. How do you know? Nobody showed any real benchmarks yet.

 

I'm only responding to your trolling. IT IS EXPECTED to be faster, and it was LEAKED to be faster, but it doesnt mean it is faster for sure, it's not a fact YET. See the difference?

nevermind i only wanted to prove my point, the benchmarks everybody thinks are true may be false, you can't tell, I can't tell. ;x

You kinda proved his point here by yourself, that was obvously a false benchmark but nobody can prove that.

All what we can base it off is this ??? benchmark, but whatever it is it's faster than 780 in all 4 situations.

Are these real benchmarks by manufacturers? I'm just asking...

Really? How can you even assume this is a fake benchmark, it looks so legit.  Want me to show you the program it's made on, it's called "Paint". /sarcasm_end.

 

EDIT: since I sense I have to draw my thoughts pretty much here: I'm not saying the 290x won't be faster than 780, ti most definately will, it's made for that. But you can't get your hands on one now so it's redundant to RMA anything if you can't get the 290x for exchange. Wtf ppl!

First of all, I never said game performance, I said SYNTHETICALLY performed better. In firemark it scored above 7000. No other card besides the Titan has done this.

He gave some utter BS benchmark.i never said in games it would be fast but from what we know ATM its faster

Just ignore everything Dravic posts, I've yet to see him post something intelligent on the forums under any circumstances

 

And as for OP, the 290x is expected to keep up with a Titan and rumors floating around suggest that BF4 is heavily optimized for AMD cards, But you can't really say for sure until the card is actually out or some more benches are out there to have a look at. I'ld keep the 780 if I were you though, the RMA process is a bitch and not worth it unless the card is wildly more powerful than previously suggested

yeah i mean look at the benchmark the part where it says amd gpu something that box is white and a diferent type of letters 

[A/C]

As I've said, it will most definately be faster than the 780, probbably faster than titan in 85% of the benchmarks, but it's not out yet and noone can confirm those claims form AMD yet. And noone can have it yet either.

How do you tell what exactly in Firemark did it score? I dont trust slides from AMD presentation, you dont know what the other specs were and whether it was GPU + CPU or just GPU result. Etc.

 

Until we see REAL benchmark, i dont trust anything.

 

Ya know, Bulldozer was supposed to kill Sandy Bridge CPUs. We all know that bulldozer CPUs didn't live up to the 'leaks'. LOL.

 

Nobody's saying 780 is faster or slower than r9 290x until we can perform non-biased benchmarks.

Exactly...

[Ryan Leech]

It's not worth the trouble, the performance difference will be so low going from a 780. Just keep the 780, maybe get a second if it's too slow.

[Mixzzz]

I don't know what to do. It hasn't been 30 days so I can RMA my 780 and get something else for less price but better. I don't know what to do GPU-wise. Keep my 780 for BF4 or RMA for a better card that is equivalent or lesser value?!

If I were i would keep 780 because:

1.The difference will be few FPS

2. Of the hassle that you will get from returning the 780

3. 290X isnt even released yet

4. We dont know anything about 290X performance really...

[naca1227]

I would just keep the 780, GK110 BEAST. We don't know really anything about the new cards and by the time we do it will be over your RMA warranty

prove that it is not true benchmark. prove.

So, you say that amd's new flagship is actually slower than their previous one?

It has perfect sense
