Title says it all.
I want to buy one of these and yeah i dont know which one to get.I want it for games that use Cry Engine 3 , i want it for Battlefield 4 and FarCry 3 and in the future Watch Dogs and The Division.
Please tell me which one will give me more fps? I dont care about recording yet so yeah, only for gaming.

They are very close in performance. The 770 is bit faster in Far Cry 3 but the 280x is faster in BF4. If you have a weaker CPU you may want to get the 280x for mantle but none of the games you listed support mantle. So I would probably just get the cheaper of the 2.

Easy... The EVGA GTX770 2GB Superclocked ACX. Much better build quality and cooler (can't beat the ACX cooler). Right out of the box they may be close, but the EVGA GTX770 2GB Superclocked ACX overclocks very well and then will out run even an overclocked 280x. Plus Nvidia's new 337.50 beta driver gets nvidia cards the same performance boost Mantle gives AMD cards. Except the nvidia driver works on all their cards and obviously then every game. Unlike Mantle.
