r9 290x or gtx 770 need fast help

[Roman Solenkov]

I can get r9 290x and gtx 770 for the same price which to go ?

r9 290x - http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_radeon_r9_290x_review,1.html (with stock turbo cooler)
gtx 770 - http://www.palit.biz/palit/vgapro.php?id=2213 ( 2GB not a jetstream )

Both cost 200 euro , r9 290x used but has more then 2 years warranty , gtx 770 new with warranty

The R9 290X is a lot more powerful. It also uses more electricity and it's louder and hotter.

For €200 it's a no-brainer though, get the R9 290X.

290x will be significantly faster, but they run extremely hot on reference coolers and use more power.

Its up to you really what you want. Personally Nvidia has given me a better experience than all of the ATI products ive had over the years, but thats my opinion.

A R9 290x for 200 euros is a killer deal if you wont take it you will regret it. Getting the R9 290x would ensure running all games maxed out for a minimum of 2 years and I personally own a r9 280x which is AMD and don't have any problems so far and as far as heat is concerned it wont be much of problem unless you game hours on end.
Hope it helped you to reach a conclusion......

The R9 290X is a best choice.

I`m just afraid of heat problems on r9 290x stock turbo cooler

If you don't mind using used card then 290x is the better choice performance wise. But you might want to make sure your case have very good air flow and if possible use your own fan profile curve if you want to keep it cool. I heard the problem with 290x stock is not just about heat but the excessive heat also might affect performance due to throttling.

So with 200 euro you can get new 770. What AMD card you can get new with that budget?

You can always buy an aftermarket cooler if the card is too hot or loud for your liking. Doesn't have to be all that expensive either.

[Yeah exactly. Aftermarket coolers are easily available for cards like r9 290x and not that costly too.
