Hello Guys

I have a EVGA 770 ACX card now... I have read so many different threads about which graphic card to buy.

My question is:

Is it better to spend 332 eur more for an extra EVGA 770 or buy a single R9 280x and later buy a sli for R9 280x? Or should I wait and buy a 290? (Money need :p)

What is most future-proofed, Now AMD is comming up with mantle?

What would you do?

My primary game is BF4 at 1080p

Thats what sites like guru3d recommend as minimum and nvidia does also says as minimum so I think it will be okay.

Because you already have the gtx 770 going for the 280x would be a waste. gtx 770 in sli is performance wise as good as the 290x, but you might get trouble with some games that dont support sli(almost never the case with newer games) or microstutter.
But again you already have one gtx 770 so get a second one if you need the extra performance.

Also make sure you're motherboard and psu support two 770s

All right.

As I understand, the price difference between 290 and 290x could be spend better, right?

The price difference in DK is 174 eur for 290 and 290x.

PSU and motherboard supports SLI, but is 750w enough?
This is my PSU; XFX ProSeries Core Edition 750W PSU
