The 280x is nearly 20% faster than a 760.

I would take the 280x, the problems have been mostly resolved, and arent prominent anymore. You can pair the card with any board.

The 280x is the card that was matched up against the gtx 770, so obviously it is a better card than a 760. Also, gotta love the extra gb of vram :D

Seems like the striker platinum outperforms the 280x in many games according to gpu boss

GPUboss, and any of the boss sites are a joke.
They get specs wrong frequently, use synthetic benches, report false info, and are biased in their reports.

But like you have a gtx 760 card and i need shadowplay and stuff.. as i dont live in the states and i buy from amazon its a no brainer choise to choose the more reliable one.. as drivers is something i really care about and the optimitation is better.. going for the 760... cant be convinced with the 280

I have a 760 because I bought in mining days, I would rather have a 280x.
It seems you knew the choice you were going to make regardless.

seems like you had already decided on the GTX760 despite the plea for help, my 2 cents is that the R9-280x will perform much better and there are no notable issues with AMD GPUs or drivers.
