Hey guys, I am in need of an answer to my problem.
I recently bought a 770 GTX Gigabyte 4 GB OC card for $560 here in AUS. By the time I turned it on saw it worked, jumped on the net and saw a price cut; sent it back. Now I have to choose a New card with all the recent price drops, and new GPU cards its so hard to pick. Don't it into a huge Nvidia Vs ATI just want to draw a logical conclusion from benchmarks and good judgement.

The choices are: (if somebody could turn this into poll would be great)

1. $699 - EVGA Geforce GTX780 Classified with ACX Cooler - http://www.cplonline.com.au/evga-geforce-gtx780-classified-with-acx-cooler-03g-p4-3788-kr.html

2. $849 - EVGA Geforce GTX780 TI Superclocked - http://www.cplonline.com.au/gigabyte-geforce-gtx780-ti-3gb-gv-n78td5-3gd-b.html

3. $669 - Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 - http://www.cplonline.com.au/sapphire-radeon-r9-290x-4gb-battlefield4-bundle.html

4. $699 - Gigabyte ATI HD7990 - http://www.cplonline.com.au/gigabyte-ati-hd7990-pci-e-3-0-6gb-768bit-ddr5-gc-r799d5-6gd-b.html

5. $869 - Asus Geforce GTX780 TI Graphic Card - http://www.cplonline.com.au/asus-geforce-gtx780-ti-graphic-card-gtx780ti-3gd5.html.

Tell me which one you would choose and why.
I would like to run SLI maybe in 2 years when I have more budget haha. So future SLI or Crossfire.

Grab the EVGa 780 ASX , its a great choice and it will play anything you throw at it , also it overclocks really well

Here's one at a better price

Here is also a really good deal on a 770 which perform quite well too at a more affordable price

Just another idea, You could always grab two if you really wanted to, for extra but the 770 SLI performance will be substantially faster than a single 780

Well if budget is no opetion I'd get the EVGA 780ti. Great company, fastest single card on the market. You could make a case for the 290x, but that savings comes with high temps, loud noise, and variable clock speeds.

Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it. I really liked what I saw in reviews of the EVGA 780. I dont really want to go around spending more on a TI. I also cannot wait for the new coolers to come out because I have used this card for 2 days and I need to send it back as soon as possible so I can actually claim a refund on it, there is a small risk I wont get a refund on my 770 GTX. I have had 3 ATI in my time I liked them but was looking for a change and saw some benchmarks of the ATI 290 and 7990 and they performed really well. But with that I would prefer a Nvidia card but they seem to be performing under these ones?

Just read about G-Sync sounds promising but I would have thought ATI would implement something similar?. By the way why not the 7990 is there a reason not to get it? I will be overclocking to get the maximum performance out of the card I get

So yeah looking at it again basically between 1. $699 - EVGA Geforce GTX780 Classified with ACX Cooler and . $669 - Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 4GB GDDR5. As its saphire does this mean it has an aftermarket cooler?
How long would it roughly it for them to release after market coolers etc ? Just need to decide between these two now
