EVGA GTX 770 SC Vs Sappire R9 280X Toxic OC

Christianjason · Nov 20, 2013

Hi guys i'm looking to by a GPU but at this point i'm little bit confuse to make a decision.So which GPU best for gaming? EVGA GTX 770 SC 2GB with ACX cooler or Sappire R9 280X Toxic OC 3GB

Please help me to choose!

Price wise, the R9 280X. Performance wise, GTX 770.

ksham :

Is there any major difference between these two?.I heard that 280X comes with Mantle API.

guggi4 · Nov 20, 2013

Id go for the 280x due to the better price/performance and the additional GB of vram

monsta · Nov 20, 2013

I would go for the EVGA GTX 770 ASX, runs cool and quiet and overclocks really well, plus you can take advantage of G Sync monitors and Shadow play in the near future

Christianjason · Nov 20, 2013

Guys what about MANTLE API thing that AMD released?.Did that Mantle API overcome Nvidia Physx.

monsta :

GTX 770 only has 254bit memory bus so is that hurt so much for 1080p gaming or 1440p?

monsta · Nov 20, 2013

Mantle hasn't been released as of yet , and the performance numbers are only speculated.
Mantle and Physx are different from each other , Physx allows for additional physics in compatible games to work.

Sure theoretically the higher bus is better but it doesn't seem to be hampering the performance of the Nvidia cards in comparison

Anyway according to the internet sources 280X power consumption much higher than other GPU's. :??:

monsta :

Much of my friends says AMD is the future of gaming world.beacuase the MANTLE API.is that true or false?

monsta · Nov 20, 2013

No one knows what Mantle's potential is, we just have to wait until AMD releases it

Christianjason · Nov 20, 2013

monsta :

thanks for the reply

Anyway in this situation you prefer GTX770 instead of R9 280X Toxic.....

ksham · Nov 20, 2013

If price is a non-issue, I would vote for the EVGA GTX 770 w/ ACX Cooler. But performance-wise, they're not far apart. Give or take a few percentages on the GTX 770.

ksham :

Can you tell me which type of a PSU should i need to work with GTX770?

Currently i'm using 750W PSU

monsta · Nov 20, 2013

If it is a good quality 750 Watt psu then you are good to go , what is your psu?

Christianjason · Nov 20, 2013

monsta :

IN WIN COMMANDER IRP-COM750 750W

monsta · Nov 20, 2013

That will work just fine , it ain't the best but its good enough

ksham · Nov 20, 2013

A quality 550W PSU is sufficient to run a single GTX 770. For SLI, you want a quality 750W. Your In Win PSU is not great, but not terrible. It'll be fine.

Christianjason · Nov 20, 2013

Hey guys,just i saw some benchmark videos of 770 & 280X.But the problem is these two GPU's performance all most same of some time.

ksham :

Ohhh thats great.....that's a some kind of a relief for me otherwise I had to spend some extra bugs over that

azzazel_99 · Nov 20, 2013

Im a nvidia fan but I'd say wait a little bit and see what mantle does once its released..

Christianjason · Nov 20, 2013

azzazel_99 :

good idea but i needs to make quick decision that's the case :??:

Christianjason :
