Depends on what you're rendering, program you're using, and how you're rendering it.

It all depends,

but if you need open cl: R9 280X

if you need CUDA: GTX 770(780 if it's on sale)

You may also want to consider a GTX 590/690. I just saw a 690 on Craigslist yesterday for $550

Yeah, OpenCL is known to work fasterwith AMD cards. But because many software companies use CUDA, NVidia usually is the chosen card.
