[ItzikCPU]

Hi guys..

It's second topic of me of Graphic card...

In israel shotdown prices and i don't know what to do now.

 

 

 

 

 

I can take this : 

 

I7 4770 + GTX780 + SSD 120GB SAMSUNG

 

OR 

 

I7 4770 + R9 290X without SSD samsung 120GB.

 

 

if you tell me that i don't need at all SSD i take the 290X (if it is good then GTX780).

i like very much NVIDIA so i want to know why the 290x good..

 

My ssd gonna to be for windows system and easy software

and if i take ssd so the 2TB of me gonna to be for heavy games like BF4 and CRYSIS and GTA V and all so i need a lot of place..

 

 

 

My computer :

 

I7 4770

 

NZXT T40 CPU COOLER

 

H87-D3H GIGABYTE

 

620W SEASONIC BRONZE 80

 

16GB RAM CORSAIR CL8 (it's good CL80?)

 

graphic card you tell me..

 

SSD (Depance in card).

 

2TB HDD SEATAGE BARACCUDA 7200.

 

what you say for my PC gmaing? and what to do with the graphic card?

Get the 780. It's just as powerful but cheaper, therefore you can get an SSD and improve system performance.

For the price, GTX 780 and SSD.

Imagine how silly saying that will be if Mantle makes large improvements. Mind you, they aren't here yet, but still. Just saying.

If you play on 1920x1080 get a good aftermarket GTX 780 and overclock it, it will likely be faster than the 290X in the majority of games and the 3GB frame buffer will be enough.
If you play on 2560x1440 or higher, or if you play on multiple monitors the R9 290X will be the better option due to its better high-resolution performance and larger memory buffer.

I'd say go for the 780. Question: Have you already bougth the parts for that pc/ are you reusing parts?

If you like Nvidia buy Nvidia, it's not really too hard to explain.

[digitalnav]

The 780 with SSD would be a better overall upgrade.

1. Atm the 780 is the better card because it's cheaper and it's faster. 2. an ssd is an huge improvment so take the 780+ the ssd

I agree with him, it depends on your monitor... if youre only gaming on 1080p then grab 780+ssd

It's not faster.... It performs better at 1080p, but 290X performs better at 1440p+ resolutions... It's faster at certain resolution...

The 780 is NOT faster.

780

 

+ Splinter Cell

+ Batman

+ AC BF

If you oc the 780 it's faster and you can oc a 780 way further then you can oc a card that runs at 95 degrees rigth out of the box.,

[TheMissxu]

Maybe wait for the 290x non-reference, 290 (maybe non-reference also), 780Ti, and 780 GHz to come out.

Otherwise, the now buy would be 780 w/ SSD.

Look at actually enthusiat benchmarks that oc their cards

The R9 290x runs into heat problems on its standard clocks already with the stock cooler

This agrument should be out of the world when Nvidia release the GTX 770 Ghz

[TheMissxu]

overclocked.

If you are using the horrid reference cooler... Duhhhh.

[The Great Sayain Man]

If you are using the horrid reference cooler... Duhhhh.

Well i can get a 780 with an aftermarket cooler and i can get a 290x with an aftermarket cooler... Oh no i can't . Duhhhhh.

You know, most people doesn't OC their cards... But yeah, AMD failed a bit here...

Yeah, I know. But you can already find 'GHz Edition' 780s that should keep up to the R9 290x for less than a 290x

[ChicagoRAW]

there should just be a sticky thread on the 780 vs 290x. i think this is the 243,235 thread on it.

[Guest Gazzer96]

For the price, GTX 780 and SSD.

Imagine how silly saying that will be if Mantle makes large improvements. Mind you, they aren't here yet, but still. Just saying.

From what I have read Mantle is also going to be supported for Nvidia GPUs, so they may get the excat same sort of boost.

Mantle is only compatible with AMD's GCN architecture, powering the 7000 & R# 200 series.

[maazster]

If AMD had aftermarket R9 290Xs then I would have recommended that but is not the case. Get the GTX 780, the prices have came down and also there are aftermarket coolers available for better overclocking.
