I've been Nvidia on my own machines though I'm looking to replace my GTX 470 and not sure what I'd like to do yet.

Probably between the R9 280x and if I can find a cheaper used GTX 680 or if Nvidia lowers the price of the GTX 770's to match the 280x.


Honestly you would be silly to consider a 770 for anything as  expensive as a 280X.  The 280X is just as strong and has 50% more VRAM (And this is actually used).  In fact, they both use about the same amount of power too.  So IMO, the 770 should cost less!

You want an Nvidia card to cost less than its AMD counterpart?

In what world do you live?


Do I want a card that performs the same as its "Counterpart" in every fashion, except that it has less RAM and less overclocking headroom; to cost less?!   

 

Yes, it should!  I live in the sane world.  But unfortunately the real world is crazy...
