Price is for Amd
3Gb vram
384 bit bandwith

Or the powerful Gtx 770

770 comes with watchdogs 280x comes with bf4


All the benchmarks show a little performance for the Gtx770 but it's also a little bit more expensive, i want a pros and cons of both cards and your recommendation

I'd buy the Sapphire Dual-X cuz of extra VRAM. Watch Dogs likes 3GB VRAM over 2GB. If you want Ultra textures for the game you need at least 3GB VRAM. Here is proof:

In terms of BF4, both GPUs will be about the same. If you don't intend to play BF4 you can sell the game.

Where are you buying?

Wooow Games are demamding more Ram, I knew It'd happen BF4 loves those 3Gb vram aswell I thought It only worked for playing on higher resolutions or multiple monitors

I was surpised too. Surprised that 3GB VRAM made a difference compared to 2GB. However, I think it is fairly rare but it is true for Watch Dogs. In BF4 2GB vs 3GB makes no difference. As you mentioned more VRAM had been typically for higher resolutions or multiple monitors.
