I've been doing lots of research lately and I have found that you can buy a 290x for around £50+ cheaper than a 780 and £170+ cheaper than a 780ti. I've usually liked nvidia but with this pricing I see no reason why, with current drivers a 290x is only slightly slower than the 780ti but much faster than the 780, all especially at high resolutions. If. Anyone could let my know why they are so cheap now I would be happy to know, thanks!

AMD prices very aggressively to overcome their lack of performance and perceived driver problems with frame stuttering.frame drops.

It's good for smart consumers that take advantage of the improved price/performance. :)

The prices of the GTX970 and 980 have eliminated any high end amd advantage.
