GeForce gtx 770 vs msi r9 280x

Henry beach · May 4, 2014

I am having a huge problem trying to decide which one of these cards will be best for me, I like to play arma 3 and bf4, I have a pretty low end APU: a8 6600k but will be getting i5 4670k.
Psu: 750w

Please help!

These cards are very close. The gtx 770 is thought to be an insignificant 2% better than 280x. I would say for go for the cheaper one. Either card will put at the ultra preset @ 1080p on both arma and battlefield.

Well 280x is theorically a faster card
But the 280x needs more energy and outputs more heat.
look at this benchmarks

But since 280x is cheaper I would go with 280x Gigabyte Windforce

Get the R9 280x. You will also get MANTLE support in games which is awesome. And it's cheaper then the GTX 770 and the performance is identical.

My brother has the R9 280X it's just... so great no problems with running games on high no lag at all it's just super great i would go with it

yeah only trade off going w/ AMD will be a little more heat.... Your current CPU is probably a fairly large bottleneck for ARMA3 w/o an NVIDIA card capable of on-board physx processing
