What do you guys think?
Should i go with the sapphire r7 260x or the asus GTX 650TI BOOST, both are good, but there's to remind, the R7 is still on beta drivers and "newer" techonology, like mantle wich will be used in BF4 :)

Go for a GTX 650 ti boost.Its very nice at 1080p and can max out on 900p resolutions.Plus,you can sli it too in the future when games will need more graphics.Its definitely worth every buck you throw at it and is 35-40% faster than the 650 ti and close to the performance of a hd 7850 and the gtx 660
No, at this point in time, you should go for the Radeon HD 7970. It's the same card as the R9-280X (minus the TrueAudio), costs a bit less and has that "never settle gold" game bundle. AMD is pulling out all the stops to get these cards out the door right now. If and when TrueAudio becomes a real factor, you can always crossfire an R9-280X with that HD 7970 with the R9 as the primary and BOOYAH! You have TrueAudio and essentially 2 R9-280X's in crossfire. After all, you don't need 2 TrueAudios do you?
 


There is no True Audio on the 280x. Only 290x 290 and 260x. that's it.
