Hello guys, I wanna ask, on your opinion what gpu is better for my needs? I use single 1080p screen and I want to max all modern games and upcoming games like GTA5 (MODS), Watch Dogs and MGS 5. And I use to play Skyrim with ENB at other mods.
I'm thinking about 2 cards GTX 780 Lightning (OC) vs some custom 290X.
I can buy Lightning card for 510 Euros good deal.
And custom r 290x will be around 570 Euros.
I saw some review at TechPowerUP

They used same system on both cards.
I saw that lightning(1020Mhz) beat 290X(1000Mhz) almost on all benchs.
And lightning has a lot OC potential + Military Class IV.

So i want to pick Lightning 780.
What you think is it good choice for me?
I will OC the card a little.


My build:
i7-3770K 4.4 GHz
ASUS Maximus V Formula
8GB G.Skill ripjawsX 1866Mhz CL8
Corsair 1050W HX GOLD
CM Storm Trooper
Samsung 840 PRO 128GB
Caviar Black 1TB

Yes, that Lighting seem's like a good deal, better than the pricier R9 290X

The 780 is comparable to the R9-290x at 1080p without sounding like a jet engine/running at 95c. Definitely go with the Lightning.
