GTX 770 or R9 280X

[kazuu91]

Can't really decide which one of them i should go for.

 

Do i lose anything important with the 770 with less GDDR? 

I guess i should say that i'm going for a FX8350 CPU and i'm going to use it for both games and some photoshop and possible some after effects. 

 

For the GTX 770 i was thinking about 

Asus GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2Gb and MSI GTX 770 TF OC 2Gb

 

As for R9 280X i couldn't decide between

MSI 280X 3Gb, Asus 280X DirectCU II 3Gb and XFX 280X Black Edition 3Gb

 

I would want a somewhat quiet card, but could compromise sound for a bit more performance.

Also i'm leaning more towards the 280X it comes with a pretty good bundle deal.

770 for cuda

[Altecice]

280x for sure most render programs not support OpenCL and CUDA so there is no real difference anymore

[kazuu91]

770 for cuda

I know Photoshop and After Effects really like CUDA, but would i really lose much performance with a 280X? 

Since i'm mostly going to use it for gaming, i've heard that the 280X is a killer deal

280x is a great deal. It will out perform the 770 when O/Ced.

Thank you, kinda what i what i wanted to hear

[Mcdoorknob]

If you like the games that are included with the 280x more than those that are included with 770, get 280x. If you plan on playing any of the games that will use mantle, then get the 280x even more. It is cheaper anyways, and generally is a faster card. 

 

My recommendation is the Asus 280x. Got mine a couple of weeks ago and I am glad I picked the asus one

 Well if you put it that way, i really like the 770 bundle, but if i can get BF4 with the 280X and 3 more games, that is a winner

But would an overclocked 280x outperform an overclocked 770?

Unfortunately, that will almost certainly never happen. Also make sure that any bundle comes with your 280x. mine didn't. I bought it with the impression that it did because linus mentioned it in his video. But only certain retailers chose to include the bundles. So that made me kind of sad

Yes.

photoshop and after like a good cpu + good memory... not cuda. 

 

if you said "for my engineer project' even a 660ti will be better if working with cuda...if you are not working with cuda/ math/physics  just don't think about cuda.

 

if you do the blind test with both vga without seeing the fps , you might not be able to say which is which...  so think about bundle and physics/gsync etc or mantle and this kind of stuff

[brob]

Yes.

 

Do you have any benchmarks that pit oc'd r9 280X against oc'd GTX 770?

[kazuu91]

Yes.

If this is the case, i wouldn't sacrifice better performance for some games. 

How much better would the 280X perform overclocked?

also my result with worse cpu than any in these links http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1014508

Those are not benchmarks, but if you want something similar how about http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+770&id=2531

WUT?

 

The most important site to every benchmarker around the world.... WTF

 

http://www.3dmark.com/hall-of-fame-2/  these names you'll see in every benchmark contest 

 

 

oh god my head is just full of ... oh my , oh my , oh my

Those are scores, not benchmarks. I'm not knocking the results but they do not provide data for apples to apples comparisons.

[FernandoTeixeira]

man just look the gpu score... I think you didn't even read the link you sent

 

but I'm out of this world now. As I said before... in a blind test I dare someone who can pick the right vga ... 5 pc with 280x  5 pc with 770... and nobody will be able to tell ..

 

also if not crysis/mml maxed out... i dare people notice if its a 770/780 or 280x... all will look the same in most of the games...

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/768?vs=829 the 280x is the same as the 7970ghz (if not a bit faster) its faster than the 770 at stock and overclocked. it also has an extra gb of vram

I generally like apples to apples comparisons. Look at all of the tests in each of these articles Anandtech, guru3d, and eurogamer. Collectively they show that there is some variance in performance depending on game and even the resolution. Given that current pricing is similar, within $20 I don't think one can pick a clear winner unless one concentrates on one or two games, to the exclusion of everything else. In other words, the R9 280X does not trounce the GTX 770, but it certainly competes with it.

[mandrigald]

280X. What a great deal

Well it is a fair bit cheaper as well. 

[kazuu91]

Does the 280x come with de nerver settle forever bundle? Or is it just some 7xxx series card?
