Radeon R9 290X  vs GeForce GTX 780 

nvidia cards in general performed much better in battlefield 3 than the amd cards did but things have changed dramatically with battlefield 4

Jack you're a fucking idiot. Don't ever come onto a thread talking about garbage ass BF4. The Witcher 2 still has the best looking visuals and it's piggy backing Nvidia. WTF you going to say when The Witcher 3 comes out and is more visualy enhanced than any game on the market?

780 Poseidon is very, very better!

oh my god u don't know anything about tech do u?Fanboy this site is not good for gpu..on bf4 it says AMD GAMING EVOVOLED AAHAHHAHAH NVIDIA SUX!

Yes! I knew it! GTX 780 is at least 80% better than the crappy 290x. AMD losers haha!

290x is overpriced because there are shortages of that GPU for litecoin mining. 290x used to be $500.

the 290x is still overpriced, amd pls change :p

780 Lightning http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_780_Lightning/29.html 119 FPS - stock 136 FPS - OC R9 290x OC: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Powercolor/R9_290X_OC/29.html 117 FPS - stock 129 FPS - OC By the way, battlefield 3 is an AMD "Gaming Evolved" game which favors AMD hardware.

how come this still not FIX ? look RESULT is R9 290X 9.6 and GTX780 8.9

Well clearly what you have to do is throw the computer into a bath also make sure its plugged in then it will cool down because thats how computers work :D

How the gtx 780 is better any ways? And it doesn't run at 200 degrees.

Currently, the r9 290x is so much more expensive than the 780 (due to inflation after a shit tonne of the r9 290xs' were bought at release by bitcoin miners). It's probably safe to say, AT THIS CURRENT POINT IN TIME WHEN I POST THIS, that the 780 has better price:performance ratio... But the r9 290x is still way faster lol

The 290X is the better option, period.

WTF is this?

so the 290X is the better option if you are running higher than 1080. But for 1080 users the GTX 780 beats it??

FAKE, GpuBoss nvidia fanboy...

All our benchmarks have sources listed underneath. The Bioshock benchmark comes from AnandTech: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7457/the-radeon-r9-290x-review/10

true

I understand the performance differences grow on higher resolutions. The fact is, no other review website that I could find, has the GTX 780 winning in Bioshock Infinite against a R9 290x at 1080p .

I'm sorry to hear that Jay. We are currently working on making changes to our system to collect more benchmarks at a higher resolution, which is where the R9 290X excels against other graphics cards, and will provide a more well rounded comparison at higher resolutions. It's not our intention to manipulate any data (we don't benefit either way), but we are aware of the issue and are working on it.

I work in the tech industry and often used this site as a quick and easy way to help customers decide which card is best. After reading this comparison, I will never use GPU boss or any of the other comparison sites like it again. This is a disgusting misstatement of basic objective tests that have been done on these two cards on many websites.

Have faith in AMD, the card beats the 1000$ card with closed eyes Rome 2 http://www.anandtech.com/show/7481/the-amd-radeon-r9-290-review/10 Hitman Absolution http://www.anandtech.com/show/7481/the-amd-radeon-r9-290-review/11 Company of Heroes 2 http://www.anandtech.com/show/7481/the-amd-radeon-r9-290-review/5 Grid 2 http://www.anandtech.com/show/7481/the-amd-radeon-r9-290-review/12 Metro last light http://www.anandtech.com/show/7481/the-amd-radeon-r9-290-review/4 GTX 780 won on BF3 res 1920 x 1080 and Bioshock Infinite same res ( higher res 290x owned them !!)

Price/performance ratio is on the red side, so the right choice is R9. But if someone wants performace without doubt, I will choose green.

I think it is... http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html I had high hopes for the 290x as well. But it looks like its again, another sub par product built to compete with the best in the business.

yep
