game debate website is pretty good or by looking at benchmarks from around the web or youtube. but yes the 780 ti is around 5-10% better than the r9 290x i would say.
im comparing reference models

well the r9 290x and gtx 780 ti perform almost the same in a lot of games i've seen all bit around a few fps difference but with mantle the r9 290x crushes the 780 ti in games that suport it like bf4.
but is the gtx 780 ti really worth that extra $300 for like 3% better performance, i'd say nope not in my book i'd get the r9 290x

This pretty much sums it up. The GTX780 is faster at 1080p than the 290, but the 290 is faster at 1440p and 1600p. The same can be said about the 290x vs 780ti. The difference in performance is not very much and OVERALL they are about even. The difference comes in the price. The 290 is about $80-90 cheaper than the 780 on average and the 290x is about $120 cheaper than the 780ti. I think the R9s' biggest advantage comes in the extra 1GB of vRAM, and I know for a fact this is case when comparing them in crossfire vs SLI. If you are in a situation that actually NEEDS two of these cards, you pretty much need 4GB of vRAM.
Of course the nvidias have a lot in their favor. They are cooler, quieter, more efficient, and almost always have better drivers.

Yeah i'm gonna go for the 290x especially since crossfire/sli is on the horizon and it's cheaper. About mantle though, i looked into it and saw that BF4, Civ: beyond earth and the upcoming Battle Front 3 are/will be optimized for it which is awesome but do you guys know if it's going to be a select thing or more widespread in the future?
Also speaking of nvidia cards being cooler (i assume your talking about temperature), the 290x runs pretty hot (95?), so if i'm getting another one for crossfire (possibly even overclock) i would need to beef up my cooling as well right?
Thanks for the help

Yup you're gonna have to " beef " up the cooling

Here's a good build if you're gonna do heavy stuff ( like video editing rendering etc) and gaming :

Those 4GB of VRAM will come in handy while rendering , that's why I didn't fit a 780 in there
And the Xeon is like a non overclockable i7 but at a cheaper price .
It will perform well in gaming and will allow you to upgrade later to a 3770k if you'd like to .
And 1050W is just overkill ^^
But if you're only gonna do gaming here's a decent build for gaming

andrei65, why are you recommending Ivy Bridge setups? There is absolutely zero advantage to buy Ivy Bridge at this point.
Funjando, Mantle is designed to help AMD's weak cpus perform better. Mantle doesn't help Intel cpus because Intel cpus are much stronger so there would be little to no difference.

Yeah alright, i just mean to take the mantle advantage/ gap closer into account as a viable option, i was wondering how many games were optimized for it. It's kinda useless if no one uses it.
