Hi, I've been thinking of ordering the Sapphire Toxic R9 280x from Ebuyer, but my friends have been saying that the Palit NVIDIA GTX 770 is better, however, now I am unsure which one to get, especially with better dual-card configuration on the NVIDIA side, and the new Mantle on the AMD side.

Toxic R9 280x: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Toxic-1100MHz-Express-Graphics/dp/B00FOQZZ9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389803781&sr=8-1&keywords=sapphire+toxic+r9+280x
Palit GTX 770: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Palit-GeForce-Jetstream-Graphics-Express/dp/B00D3ZYDLQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1389802674&sr=8-3&keywords=770

Which one is better and why?

Thanks,
SmelliotButton

P.S. There is also this link that I found, which compares the two, if it will help :)

Nvidia is something like XBOX = gaming and the software around it, in this case : PhysX / GSYNC / The recording thingy
AMD is 100% into gaming. The 280x is slightly more powerfull than 770, look :

And besides that, it looks much more better! Yellow / Black = just like bumblebee from transformers!
The 770 is ugly, just cmon, a brown colored Windforce

Wow. Thanks for the quick response!
I think I think I'll stick with the Toxic then.

Thanks again!
