Hello!
I am building my first gaming computer and I am trying to decide on my GPU. I have been planning on sticking with the 780, but I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNfJerTjRXw&list=UUXGgr...
and had second thoughts. Which of these cards would be better? I am personally kind of an Nvidia fanboy, to be honest, so if the performance/price ratio is not too different, I'd like the Nvidia.
Thanks!

I'd go the 780 CU, I have a pair of the them...also have a 290X Matrix....overall taking everything in I prefer the 780CU, especially since AMD really sucks with their drivers ;)

AMD drivers are more stable than Nvidia lately.
Please do not just take advice from one person.
I will be getting a 290 Vapor-X unless the 780 drop price.

I've not had any problems with drivers either. For me price was better and 4gb vram for 3 monitors + generally better performance from the R9 290 than gtx 780
