I want to buy a gfx card that can run all the latest games like BF4, Crysis 3, Metro:LN, Farcry 3 etc. with their all eye candy on, like AA, AF, Textures, Tessellation, physx, etc., at ultra settings on 1080p resolution.
I want respectable frame rate of 50-60fps while playing these games at ultra settings.

I have few GPUs in mind and need some suggestion.
Shall i go for Asus R9 280x DC2 or Zotac GTX 770 or Asus 760 MARS or shall i wait for Asus R9 290x DC2 ?

post your budget bracket, at 1080p you wont be needing 290X to max out games with all bells and whistles.

R9 280x is enough.

Post your PC configuration 1st like what CPu and motherboard and PSU you're having.

if you are living in India, GTX770 bad idea as there is still no sign of any price-drop making its way out here, R9-280X enough for 1080P, if not in India, get GTX770 for $329 from anywhere, it OCs better than 280X and proved to have decent FPS gains over the latter across all games. check hardocp for reference.
