Radeon R9 290X  vs GeForce GTX 780 

wanna say that to you when r9 3xx is comming out

Thats not what the 980 and 970 is saying to your pathetic 290x

Nivea is shit

im no WAY a fan boy of either amd or nvidia thats just stupid however INTEL I5 IS THE BEAST LOL , joking but im going intel i5 and this r9 cause its a beast that 780 bench mark is bollaxs lol

you guys need to start keeping these updated this might have been true when the original drivers were released. I highly suggest you run benchmarks monthly or bimonthly at the least. I also would not take benchmarks from other sites. List the benchmark date, driver, and system the benchmark was run on in the comparison. Id also have a discontinue date for cards so your not endlessly testing them. addition: also suggest showing the test environment and keeping the ambient air temps the same

again wrong with the performance numbers i'm sorry GPUboss

these states dont make no sense at all Gpuboss guys be serious. the r9 290x is clearly a way better card & u know it

GPU Boss is biased towards Nvidia. I bet Nvidia pays them to give BS comparisons.

Or open your case and shove a bunch of dry ice in there :D

Umm Raptr never force installs you idiot.....Ive been using AMD cards for awhile now and never has...Your whole write up blows. Everyone knows the 290x had issues when it first came out due to fan problems but that is solved now.....due some research before you comment. And for the record, I have used both AMD and NVIDIA and they both are great companies. Most users wont see a difference when gaming

AMD : our dream is to make a singe core gpu with perfomance like 770gtx. Thats right like Gtx 770..! mouhahaahahah! The GTX 780 ARE better! Dont cry AMD peseants and buy a couple of ten powers supply'es to make this horrible thing run. Oh and take care about how much playing games on this thing because maybe one day explode your house when this thing is close to the limits!

The best GPU you can buy at the moment is the SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X TRI-X OC R9 290X, period. And yes it is quieter, colder and faster than most 780tis out there.

Ridiculous nvidia fanboys. The gtx 780 ( stock ) and the r9 290x ( stock ) are very close together but the r9 290x is better. You can find the real results from a test in the internet. Congratulations, you are the first claim otherwise. Presumably with manipulated tests Sry for my bad english, its not my nativ language

I hate this bullshit. You get shit websites and gay ass fagot fanboys but fucking each other. AMD is always and always will be the bang 4 ur buck company for cpu's and graphics cards. Nvidia releases awesome cars as well but are not priced logically (i,e GTX TITAN). I like both companies and there awesome, The difference is I dont suck their dicks for money and kiss their ass like other pussy's.

You dont understand math, do you lol

are you taking us for fools gpuboss? are you paid or something?!

u mean Asus AMD

I have tried both reference cards at base frequencies. The R9 290X does run a but smoother that the GTX 780 is some areas such as benchmarks and highly demanding games. The main problem is that the R9 290X produces more heat and thus performance decreases. The GTX 780 on the other hand is much more stable throughout all games and benchmarks because NVIDIA's GK110 core is more energy efficient than AMD's Hawaii XT core. And in the end it all comes down to consistent performance. I mean who plays for just a half hour and calls it quits? Plus Catalyst forces Raptr, AMD Gaming Evolved or whatever it is to be installed where as NVIDIA GeForce Experience can be removed from the install list. To sum all this up, the higher cost of the GTX 780 equals consistent performance and lower heat generation.

BULL SHIT !

the reason why this nvidia card has more compute performace is because its literally overclocked from the factory and the amd card obviously dominated the 780 and the 780Ti and besides usually when the card is OC'd from factory they dont last as long GG nVidia but uh your always the loser lol

If thats not an option just make sure the computer is outside when it is raining..free liquid cooling.

I do have a 780 .. but I will move on to AMD side when it comes to GPU .. I think Mantle and Freesyn are the way to go.

its 400$ on ebay

what's the thing? He prefers GTX 780 from Nvidia and the Avatar picture is an Asus Nvidia card.

NVIDIA!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE NVIDIA!!!!!!
