Benchmarks are very confusing, some sites report 770 being faster, some r9 280x
I was ready to buy 280x until today, cause it was cheaper, but Nvidia just dropped prices and 770 is now just bearly more expensive AND they are giving away 3 great games (two of which I would be buying anyway: AC4 and Batman).
So which one should I get now that they are almost the same price?
I've always had Nvidia cards, had no problems with them, AMd on the other hand has Mantle (which I have no idea if that's gonna grow in to anything) and next gen consoles are both AMd based so that might be important.
Thx for any opinions or help.

The cards perform very close to each other, you really aren't gonna notice a few fps here and there. The 770 will prob perform slightly better in games that are optimized for Nvidia, and the 280x will perform slightly better on games optimized for AMD. They are both great cards and you'll be happy with the performance of either one I'm sure. Don't get too caught up fretting over the minimal differences, you really won't be able to tell unless the differences are drastic. I have a 770 and love it. I bought it when they first came out and it plays everything I've got at 1080p on ultra perfectly smooth.

std clocked cards the GTX770 is slightly faster overall. There are OC variants of both which get better performance explaining the different benchmarks.
The games that you are going to buy anyway would be a good enough reason for me to go with the GTX770. In real time game play there will be no noticeable difference between the cards.

Thx for the answer to both of you, this was my first post here and honestly I didn't expect an answer so quickly. This is a very cool community here :)
