Sapphire r9 290 tri-x or Gtx770

Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X is waaay better than GTX770...

@op look at the benchmarks
sapphire r9 290 tri-x performs similar to gtx 780

280x is faster than 770, let alone a 290x.

^^ R9 280X = GTX 770, I think.

But as far as OP's question is concerned, R9 290 > GTX 770.

^^^ Yes @OP if you are concern about heat then go for 770 but performance wise 290 is way better.

yeah 280x ang gtx 770 perform the same.. in some games the 280x takes lead while in other 770.
Overall you can't say one is better than the other performance wise.

290 all the way. sapphire tri-x makes r9 290 much cooler also.
