Hi guys,

I'm looking for a new graphics card for my gaming pc, I can't decide between the MSI R9 280X gamimg 3G and the MSI GeForce GTX 770 gaming 2GB.
They're both perfect for my budget, the R9 is even a bit cheaper but that doesn't really matter for me. They both have good specs, but I can't choose wich one is better. Can anyone help me decide? I wan't to use it for battlefield, call of duty, and all the other upcomming games.

Sorry if my english is bad.
Thanks for reading!
 
Having owned both, they are within 5% of one another (trading blows in different games). You will not notice the difference between the two. If it were me, I would go with whichever you can get cheaper. If they're the same price, go with the 3GB of vram and 380-bit bus.

Thanks alot! Always nice to hear it from people with experience
 
No problem.

In case you wanted some numbers, in BF4 @ 1080P, Ultra preset (FOV: 80), I get ~70 average FPS with the 280X (and a 4th gen i5/i7)

I had the 770 about 6 months ago, but IIRC, it was 5 FPS more, max in that game. And that was 6 months ago, before Mantle and other driver updates.
