What should i choose?

Anthony Frandi · Nov 30, 2013

between this 2 VGA :
a.MSI Geforce GTX 770 2048MB DDR5 - Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Gaming
and
b MSI Radeon HD R9-280X 3GB DDR5 384 Bit - Gaming
i see the review that both has quiet similar performance, but amd is much hotter
the point is what should i choose??? give me the answer with strong arguments.
this amd is $50 cheaper in my country.

i would say the GTX 770 and maybe a 4gb depends on what resolution u game at and what games u wanna play.

if u want proper advice fill out ur System Specs: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/account/specs

both cards give the same performance, go for the less expensive of the two.

The card doesn't get that hot :

although I would go with GTX 770, even with the $50 difference

Have you given any thought in getting a HD7970? The 280x is nothing more than a higher clocked 7970. Something like a Gigabyte Windforce HD7970 will give the same performance as a 280x with lower operating temperatures.

i think i will choose 280x, but the price is 770 a bit more expensive so it must be something more than 280x
