Who ever gives me the most power. For Notebooks its definetly Intel+Nvidia though and that held true for pretty much the last years. The GTX 780m is unrivaled when it comes to Notebooks

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!

Problem is software that uses CUDA. I'd have to get newer versions if I were to get a 280x so I can take advantage of it. It stinks because pricewise a third party factory OC'd 280x is cheaper and can looks to be between the GTX 770 and 780 in performance

OpenCL is used more at this point.  And honestly, if you want CUDA:  Get a 400 or 500 series card.  A 580 absolutely destroys a 680 at that stuff...
