I know this sounds open-ended. I am doing lots and lots of research to pick out the best card for a build that I will be putting together soon. My price range is between $250 and about $400. Right now, the R9 280X seems to be the best card for my price range because it is at a nice $300 price point and it performs as well as the $400 GTX 770, which leads to my next question. If the R9 280X is cheaper and performs the same, why would you ever want to buy a GTX 770 (except when buying another to SLI)? I mean the price/performance for the R9 280X is definitely higher so how does one justify purchasing the GTX 770? Are there some features of the card which make it somehow better that raw FPS benchmarks don't show? Or is the R9 280X just always better?
I'm interested to hear what people have to say about this.
Thanks.
