i have been comparing these cards and i know the basics of graphics cards and i finding conflicting information on these cards on which is better as well as misinformation i already have evga 780 sc and have considered buying another one as i plan on upgrading to 1440 or 1600 gaming probably with a non gaming secondary screen but acording to gpuboss 780 wins but many of the specs seem better for the 290x minus memory clock speed and more texture mapping units. it seems 1080 from what i have seen 780 wins and beyond 290x i do mostly gaming but video transcoding and do video editing somewhat often too (not as much as gaming) is it worth upgrading to new card or just get second. also as a second question is more general but are texture mapping units or shaders counts more important in games if someone can answer this or give a good link to explain this in simple to average to understand terms it would help me alot

GTX 780 is better. Nvidia cards are better for video editing/coding. End of story.

you cannot compare two different cards with different artrchitectures, made by different companies your comparison method doesnt and never will work like that,(that is the reason benchmarks are invented), the only things they have in common is they both use gddr5 ram, they

True. Just tell us what games you play and I'll bombard you with benchmarks.
