GTX 780 is way overpriced compared to R9 290 (x or non x,difference is small) and the real gain in performance is really small. And i have a friend who has R9 290x is 2-way crossfire and he loves them. New drivers are excellent.

I can tell you that R9 290 is better than GTX 780, i can talk to my friend,he has R9 290X (little difference),but the summary of what he told me is that it is great GPU costs less than GTX 780 and worth it. New drivers helped it even more.
