Unfortunately with the recent death of my 6950, I'm left needing a new graphics card, the 280 and the 760 appear to be about the same speed, I quite like the sound of some of the nvidia features like shadowplay and physx but will the 280's extra VRAM help extend it's life especially at 1440p?
I've been leaning towards one of these two cards at the moment but the lack of reviews for non x 280's makes me unsure of which will be quieter under everyday use

The budget can be stretched a higher if there are any cards that would offer substantially greater performance without costing far more
Performance is the main priority, with noise second, I don't care about power consumption at all if I'm honest
Thank you for your help so far
