Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon HD 7990?
Money isn't problem, i only want the performance!
Is PhysX really matters?
I like nVidia a bit better but i can't choose...

I5 4670k
Asus Maximus VI Hero
Kingston HyperX 8GB 1600mhz CL9 (kit of 2)

its looks like the 7990 is better based on specs, but personally i like physx

PhysX isn't worth anything and I you want raw horsepower then the HD 7990 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CJ4KALE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00CJ4KALE&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 is the winner.

physx isnt worthless, i truely dont understand why people shoot it out of the water so quickly.

Now i have a GTX 660.
Can i use the 7990 as my main and the GTX 660 as my PhysX card?
Is that possible? If it is, can i benefit from it?

Call of Duty: Ghosts, Batman: Arkham Origins, the Witcher 3 all upcoming with advanced APEX PhysX. AMD owners need not apply.

"When it launched, a generous eight-game bundle had me on the fence about the 7990’s prospects. But after spending time evaluating its thermals and acoustics (to say nothing about its crashes and performance hiccups in CrossFire, which could become a story unto itself), I can’t think of one reason to recommend 7990 to a friend. And, at the end of the day, that’s what this job is all about."

" the high-pitched whine is noticeable enough to illicit raised eyebrows from observers correctly ascertaining that a graphics card shouldn’t be making those noises."
