Guys I need some help here the shoe is on the other foot right now with AMD and Nvidia
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-gtx-780-price-d...

so my question is i can spend maybe 300$ for the GPU for my new computer I just built
Should I Get a EVGA 2g GTX 770 for just 329.99 and it comes with 3 games (Assassin's Creed 4 Batman Arkham Origins and Splinter cell blacklist)
OR
Should I spend 459.99 for the 4G model from EVGA with the same games
OR
Should I buy the ASUS 3G R9 280X for 309.99

All of these choices im splurging a bit but I do want the best bang for my buck!

I would go with the 770 2GB if only on a single 1080P monitor.

I haven't seen the performance of the 280X personally, but everything I've read online has it being the best performer at the $300 price point. That said, I have an EVGA GTX 770 and love that card lol. The 280X from what I've read though is the best one for your money right now though :-) If I was buying a card now as opposed to 4 months ago, I'd probably be buying the 280X. They are both great cards though. The 2GB card is plenty for standard resolutions, so if you do decide to buy the 770, and you only play at 1080p, get the 2 GB over the 4 GB.

Where are you getting the 2GB version of the 770 at? $329 is the best price I've seen

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... same card as the 280x, can over clock it easily for better performance plus comes with 3 free games.

It is only a one 1080 P setup however i'm worried that the 2G mem won't be enough for upcoming games since even when they put out the specs for BF4 it said recommened video memory was 3GB

280x!!! Forget about the GTX 770, it's not that important anymore.

Nothing special about the R9 280X just a renamed and tweaked HD7970GHz just like the GTX770 is a renamed and tweaked GTX680
