Should I either get the 770 or the 280X? which one performs better and why?

Also I have an FX6300 overclocked to 4.2Ghz, will I see any bottlenecking on either card on a single 1920x1080 60hz monitor. I plan to play either high settings or very high.

They both perform very well. Quite equal actually.
And it actually depends on what games or applications you are using.
For example COD and BF4 will run miles better with an AMD card. And ACIV and Batman are better on NVIDIA.
And NVIDIAs CUDA cores really take an edge on application like adobe premiere.

^I've heard that the whole NVidia/AMD and adobe thing has changed recently, and they perform similarly on both. But I'm not sure.

As for the OP, the CPU/GPU combos are fine, you won't see any bottlenecking. I'd go for the cheaper out of the two, as Super Batman said the performance seems to be very similar.

I am interested in getting this one, what do you think. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX...


I have heard that the Toxic 280X from Sapphire is good, but NVIDIA seem to be the best when it comes to gaming. I am not planning on getting a new monitor, I just want a card which will be able to play games such as World of Tanks or Blacklight at 1080p high settings at a solid 60FPS.

Oh yeah. A 280X will do anything on 1080p. Maxed at 60FPS.

anything bar Crysis 3 or BF4. But I have no intention of playing those games. I think I will get the 4GB 770 and then get the Kraken G10 GPU cooler. I do not have the money to upgrade CPU. As long as I can play at 1920x1080 very smoothly with most in-game settings on then that is good.

The 770 is overkill for 1080p, but if you want it then why not :)

Whilst it is cheap I will get it. Next year I plant to get upgrade my CPU and motherboard (waiting to see the new CPU's from either Intel line and AMD). The 770 is good for me as I will also get a bigger monitor or even a second monitor. Thanks anyway guys, so to clarify If I got the GPU I have shown you now I WONT see a BOTTLENECK!? and it should be able to play at a constant 60FPS at very high with AA, MSAA on etc etc.

Yes, obviously game dependent, but for the huge majority yes.

Sweet. So last time. FX 6300 wil run nicely and not bottleneck a 770 on ONE monitor. And I should play at a solid 60FPS

You have the AMD -Fx-6300 which is a six core processor and the stock clock is 4.1ghz, by overclocking it to 4.3ghz you have lessened the chances of a bottleneck situation. Any time there is a bottleneck of the CPU not keeping up with a video card the answer is to raise the clock on the CPU and since you have only overclocked by .2ghz there is obviously more room there if you ran into a bottleneck.
As it is I doubt that the GTX 770 will overwhelm the Fx-6300, maybe a GTX 780Ti or Titan might or a r9-290x or HD 7990.

Thanks inzone, I was just worried that I would see a bottleneck on a single 1920x1080 monitor. I hope to play on very high at 60FPS. Thanks for the answers guys.
