hey guys, i have a question!
i can buy a second hand with warranty R9 290 windforce for 260 euros, the owner said to me that there was no OC or mining involved with the card(and it has warranty till 2016!)
on the other hand a new gtx 770 costs 300 euros here.
and i dont know wich is faster or more powerfull, or if its risky to buy a second hand gpu, even with warranty s:

could someone help? :(

The R9 290 is significantly faster. Of course, the R9 290 also requires a much stronger power supply, and can't run Nvidia features like PhysX, Hairworks, or Shadowplay. And it's used, and you have no way of knowing if he's telling the truth about what he used it for.

290 all the way. 770 can't compare with 290. maybe 280x or 280.

The GTX 760 is midway between the R9 270X and R9 280. The GTX 770 is midway between the R9 280X and R9 290.
I was quite impressed with AMD's price cuts in the second half of this generation.

The 290 is faster and since it's a windforce it will be run cool :)
