What does everyone think I should get? If I was getting either of the R-9's I would wait until the non reference cards come out, however I've heard about the huge performance differences between each card so I'm not sure If I should buy one or get a 780 instead?

Thanks

Easy: 290. It is as strong as a Titan for $400! It also overclocks like a beast!

Watch the above review, It cleary tells that r9 290x is more or less better than Gtx 780. If you can afford r9 290x, then no doubt you should really go for it.

I saw a review, but in 4 out of seven games R9 290X was equal or quite better than TITAN. Not sure how accurate the review was, because the most people think Titan is better.

The R9 290 and 290x are more capable GPUs than the GTX 780. Their only obstacle to consistent performance is keeping them cool. If you can live with more fan noise, then even their stock cooler will work effectively and make them the best single card performers for their price. In the future, if you consider CrossFire for either R9 card, they have a hardware fix in place to correct the uneven frame timing that resulted in what is referred to as micro-stutter.

If you can afford r9 290 or r9 290x buy anyone of them considering their price and also performance. They both are better than gtx 780.
