GTX 770 4GB vs. R9 290 vs. GTX 780
Hi. I'm building my first pc and am having the hardest time picking a GPU. I'll mostly be playing games like BF4, Crysis 3, and Watch Dogs. I've done a ton of research and have narrowed my options down to 3.
Sorry, I've already googled the crap out of this question, but all the answers seem to reference old prices. Here's my options:
GTX 770 4GB -$348 ($300 for the 2GB)
R9 290 Tri-X -$403
GTX 780 -$450
I understand Radeon cards tend to be a bit less "stable". That's why I'd rather go for a 770 than a 280x. But for a 290, I'm willing to take the risk. The Tri-x seems to do the best job at cooling and noise reducing. The common black screen crash is what worries me. Should I even be worried about that? I'd appreciate responses from actual 290 Tri-X owners.
My budget is $400, but if I have to give up another $50 for a good deal, I will. I just don't know which of the 3 is the best deal.
Please help.
