I have ABSOLUTELY no knowlege about amd radeon cards at all whatsoever, I do know a bit about Nvidea gtx cards though.

Please tell me the AMD eqivalents of these cards:
GTX 770
GTX 780
GTX 780Ti
GTX Titan (if AMD even has a card that compares with the titan lol)

Also please tell me the prices of each card and also tell me the pros and cons of both amd and nvidea cards. Thanks a lot :)

GTX 770 - R9 280X ( Same performance, more power hungry, starts at $299) Cheapest GTX 770 is $309
GTX 780 - R9 290 (Same performance, more power hungry, cooling problems with reference models and some non- reference, starts at $399) Cheapest GTX 780 is $470
GTX 780Ti- R9 290X (Less than %10 difference in performance with the GTX...

Titan is only a little bit faster than the 780. If you mean the Titan Black, then I have no clue.

Generally Nvidia cards will run more efficiently, and run cooler. Opposite with AMD, but their prices are cheaper.

GTX 770 >= r9 280x
GTX 780 >= r9 290
Titan = r9 290x
GTX 780 Ti =... r9 295? But the 295 is a dual GPU on a single PCB.

GTX 770 - R9 280x
GTX 780 - R9 290
GTX 780Ti - R9 290x
GTX Titan - R9 290x
No Competitor - R9 295X2

If you use Crossfire or SLI any of these AMD cards will be much faster than the nVIDIA equivalent. If you use a single card then the nVIDIA equivalent will often be equal or a tad faster.

The AMD cards use up more power because they're more powerful in terms of compute capabilities (an R9 280x beats a Titan for example).

Heat wise I would look into the XFX R9 290/290x with the Double Dissipation cooler. They tend to take care of the heat rather well (although I personally watercool).
 


That's wrong.
780 and Titan BOTH are equivalent to 290, and the 290x is comparable to but slower than the 780Ti. The Titan Black is nothing but a 6GB overclocked 780Ti. So it's faster than the 780Ti and the 290x.

The 295x2 has no competitor from NVIDIA yet, but the Titan Z, which is 2 titan blacks on a single board(similar in concept to the 690) is faster than the 295x2, it's being said. It's a rumor though, as the Titan Z has not launched yet.
