What is the difference between these gpus?
I am planning on buying a new gpu, and I have looked into these three cards.
Evga 780 ti 3 gb-base clock-980 boost clock- 1046 mhz memory clock: 7000 mhz 384 bit memory

Msi Radeon R9 290x- 1000 mhz, 1030 mhz, 1040 mhz(silent mode, gaming mode, overclock mode) 4gb 5000 mhz memory clock

Radeon R9 290 Vapor-X: 1030 mhz core clock 4 gb 5600 mhz memory clock 512 bit

The radeon r9 290 vapor x is $200 cheaper than the 780 ti and $100 cheaper than the r9 290x. It seems very similar statistically. So, what are the advantages of each card, and which should I buy? I want to battlefield 4 and arma 3 at 1920x-1080 at max graphics if that helps.
Thanks

The GTX 780 Ti is the fastest, by a significant margin. It will also give you the ability to use PhysX, Adaptive VSync, TXAA, Geforce Experience, Shadowplay, and the ability to force FXAA and HBAO+ on games that don't offer it through the in-game settings. Nvidia has unquestionably the better track record in terms of driver support and development. When you're spending this much money, these are the things that count every bit as much as an overly simplistic decision based on a price-performance ratio.

These benchmarks are showing a stock/reference GTX 780 Ti versus the top-end MSI 290X Lightning card.
