The R9-290 with a small o/c (1050MHz) performs similarly to the 780ti and better in some AMD optimised games. Where I am it costs $530 vs $900 for the ti. BF4 fills 3GB Vram on 3 monitors, so 4GB is useful down the line. Personally I went for the R9, better value and with a decent cooler like the Tri-x, heat isn't a problem at all. 70C max gaming.
