As the title suggests, I would like to know whether to get the 280X from sapphire or the 770 from EVGA (Do note that it is not the ACX version since I can't find one where I live). I was originally planning on going for the 770 until I found out it was the non-ACX version. The 280x from sapphire was also getting some pretty good reviews so I considered that as an alternative. My only problem is I prefer Nvidia drivers. I've never owned an AMD card but I keep hearing that they have faulty drivers and such. Nvidia on the other hand has great drivers. I don't stream personally so I don't use shadowplay but I do like PhysX. Is it worth getting the AMD card over Nvidia?

I play games like Skyrim (Heavily modded), Dragon Age series (Hoping to play the upcoming Dragon Inquisition on max settings), Witcher 2, League of Legends, Dota 2, and mostly other RPG games.

Current PC Specs:
CPU: i5 3470
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti OC
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 2x8GB
PSU: Seasonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze

Is the ACX version any better than the non-ACX version besides the cooling?
