AMD isn't slightly cheaper, it's significantly cheaper. We're talking cards that cost up to $150 less than their nVidia equivalents.

Again, by the new year, you'll see third-party cooling solutions and factory overclocked R9-290X cards which will only make it better, possibly even better than the GTX 780 Ti. Here's the lowdown:

So you see, any penny spent more than $550 is a waste. If both of these cards are over your budget, well, you should have posted your budget....lol
