Im so curious about the my option between sapphire r9 280x 3gb ddr5 384bit vs asus gtx 770 2gb ddr5 256bit dc2..

I know its almost similar performance but i want to know the best graphic card between the two..best in..

-graphic performance
-cooling system
-carrying ultra setting of heavy games
-give best performance in gaming at all the time
-long life span (strong card)

Please give a the choice and please explain why..

Thank you guys.

The 770 will outperform the 280x in most if not every game, can be overclocked further, consumes less power and runs cooler. Although, I'd wait until the 18th of this month when the new 900 series GTX cards are being released to make a purchase. :)

If you want an unbiased view:
Both perform similar, some games GTX 770 is slightly ahead, sometime R9 280x is ahead by 1fps or so.
If both have the same cooler design, they would technically run at similar temperatures depends on settings.
They both can do ultra settings.
They both have the same lifespan.
Power consumption is slightly higher on AMD cards but not that far.

LOL of course he wants an unbiased view, I wasn't being biased.
You're right, although remember that it's not just the cooler that effects temps, it's also the way the chip is architectured. :)

Hence the word technically. Of course there are other factors such as ambient temperature, case airflow etc.. But just because one GPU is architectured that way, doesn't mean every gpu chip of that architecture run hot. It's down to how much voltage is pumped through the chip and how good the heat transfer is from the chip to the heatsink.

When you get the card, you run some stress test on it.
Try out some games on it and see if you notice any artifacts.
Run Unigine Valley/Heaven and let it loop for an hour. If you find any artifacts or if the temps starts to go over 85C, exit the application.
It's not just the R9 280X who can get artifacts, there are some GTX 770 that can artifacts. Just hope your one won't be bad.
