Hi guys,

Which one is the better choice for gaming at 1920x1080 over the next few years?

Is the 3GB memory of the AMD card an important factor to consider for the future?

Thank you.

3GB is a factor games in the future will start to use more Vram. If i were you i would get a 4Gb 770 but if those are the only two choices i would take the 280x.

Yes, where I live these two cards are already overpriced and are the only choices as the 4GB GTX 770 is way too expensive.

they are so close in performance that it does not matter. price is main factor here and I'm going to guess the 280x is cheaper. unless you need cuda performance from nvidia or opencl/opengl performance from amd. mantle is a perk for amd but i don find it too much of an advantage. either way both are great cards.

If the 2GB of memory will not be an issue for future games given that I will play on a single HD monitor, I think I will go for the GTX 770.

The GTX 770 is slightly a better choice in my opinion. More games are better optimized for it and 2gb is more than enough.
