The newer games are made for Amds so I would go Amd because the Xbox one and ps4 both use Amd processors and such.

Performance vise the GTX770 is slightly more powerful than the 280X which is overpriced and both are about 20% better the GTX760. I would go with either GTX770 card probably Asus since cheaper.

go 770 not as much power, heat and it works very well. The whole mantle thing has shown some improvement in amd but not enough for me to just shoot for amd. If you can get the 780 it will destroy all those cards and the 290.

Temptationz · Feb 23, 2014

Firstly thank you both for your help and advice. Secondly yes I was more set on the 770 gtx 770 but wanted to know other person's opinion's, would you recommend in getting a 3GB 0r 4GB card though as iv been looking and its about £40 more for an extra 2GB VRAM so is it worth in order for me to play future games ?

Temptationz :

so as far as vram 3 gbs is enough but if you want "future proof" go 4gb since it seems youre going to try to keep this card for a while.

better get the GTX770 but the Gigabyte since it is cooler so it is more overclockable

gaco66 · Feb 23, 2014

When it comes to graphic cards you have to ask yourself what features you will need.The cards you have cheked are high class so if that is your budget you can consider both Gigabyte 280x OC or for exaple the Gtx 770 . AMD features are Mantle and crossfire. Nvidia features 3D vision Gamestream and SLI. Mantle improves the fps by reducing the power needed by the processor.BF4 has it already and games in the future will have it. Corossfire and SLI are the ability to use 2 or more cards togather on 2 or 3 monitors so SLI is slightly better becouse you can play on 3 monitors with 3D if you so desire.
Gamestream is for you to stream to a Nvidia Shield if you have one.But steam made the In-home streaming and it will work even better nomatter what card you use.So it really comes down to what you want to do - 3d gaming ,maybe you want to have beter fps on future games. With the 280x you can do cryptocoin mining which can be profitable so if i had the money right now i will probably go with it. So watch some game benchmarking and see which card gets higher framerates in the games you play. If you get around 60 to 80 fps on some games that means you will be futureproofed to play next year games on maybe 30 to 40 fps(or maybe 20 to 30 who knows).

2GB Vram is still plenty for gaming at 1080P resolution!

Temptationz · Feb 23, 2014

With all that has been said I think I'm going to go with the 770 gtx 2GB but not sure which one to go for either the Asus or Gigabyte ?

rolli59 · Feb 23, 2014

I am in favor of Asus!

Temptationz · Feb 23, 2014

What advantages does asus have ? and will I be able to play games such as BF4 on ultra/high settings ? because I don't want to spend that much money for nothing lol.

rolli59 · Feb 23, 2014

It costs less to begin with for the same performance give or take 1FPS and yes it will handle BF4 on Ultra at 60FPS at 1080P

Temptationz · Feb 23, 2014

thank you for your help rolli59, might invest in this graphic's card soon then

ahmedkhalifa1999 · Feb 23, 2014

better get the gigabyte (it has better cooling)

rolli59 · Feb 23, 2014

Asus is considered to have one of the best cooling solution, it is not all in counting the fans.

they are almost the same but the gigab yte is clocked higher so it should run hotter although they run at the same temp.

AMD has the best price to performance but I personally love NVIDIA's options, especially with the control panel, etc.

Temptationz · Feb 27, 2014

Thank you all for your help its much appreciated, as I say I'm new to PC gaming so I wanted to get a decent GPU for a decent price but still be able to play most games & future games on ultra/high settings, as I have had to lower my budget a bit I am now thinking of just getting the gtx 770, as I will only be playing on a single 23'' 1920x1080 Monitor, also thinking if I wanted to add more performance in the future I can always SLI if I went down the Nvidia route if I'm correct, but is it worth the £250 price range ?

rolli59 · Feb 27, 2014

Along with the R9 280X we could call the GTX770 the sweat spot for 1080P gaming, that is will with a good CPU play almost everything on highest setting with eye candy turned on at acceptable frame rates.

smeezekitty · Feb 28, 2014

The coin miners have driven up the prices of AMD cards.

The 280X and 770 are very close in performance. I personally prefer AMD, but
price wise the 770 is a better deal

AMD or Nvidia ?
