Yes, I know the "gtx 770 or r9 280x" question has been asked many times but I am stumped as to firstly which 280X would be better and secondly would it be worth spending another £25 and buy a high end GTX 770 Lightning that is currently on offer?

[MSi R9 280X](http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX...)

[Gigabyte R9 280X](http://www.dabs.com/products/gigabyte-amd-radeon-r9-280...)

[MSi 770 Lightning](http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-msi-gtx-770-lightnin...) (note: you won't be able to see it is £251.99 as it was posted on their deal page)

Is it worth spending that extra £25 or should I just get a R9 280X (if 280X, by which company?)

Thanks.

that lightning card is a beast, I would go with that. The 770 is overall a faster card than the 280x, but they are close. If you don't mind that extra money it is worth it, but if you want to save a little I would go with a asus or msi 280x, or a sapphire toxic if you find a good deal on it.
