The R9 290 should thump the GTX770 --- even in games that typically favor nVidia.

If the card your considering is a DirectCU model -- even more so.

Yes the 290 will run a good amount faster than the 770. I'm not sure where you see the 20-40 FPS as thats how slow it will go if you run 4K resolution. Otherwise I run demanding games such ast far cry 3 or crysis 3 at full graphics, 1080p resolution and 8X AA and I average 50-60 FPS.
If you have a CPU that is too slow, it will slow down any video card for demanding games.
