29X is better and 290 is about the same as a 780 but the performance difference is not that much and the 780 usually consumes less power.

The r9 290x is faster than the gtx 780, but also uses more energy, produces more heat and is louder.

It is not louder and the temps are the same. The 290x is the way to go.

290x>780>290 with aftermarket cooler, but keep it mind 4gb VRAM.

Heat slightly less on NVIDIA side.

Good luck.

290x = faster = Better performance for standard clock speed :) .
Gtx 780 = cooler = Better ocing.
