You sure there mate?
Also AMD is always behind with technology it seems, only reason AMD is good on battlefield is because "M-MUH MANTLE AMD SHILLING AND BENCHMARKS" and purposfully limited Nvidia cards. And then Nvidia released new drivers that bypassed it and suddenly a GTX680 surpasses the latest AMD card on it.
Well done bellends.
Nvidia is better for your wallet and better in performance anyways so.
Best buy would be Nvidia.

But yes, Corin is quite silly.
The 290 also doubles as a room heater and if you wire it up to the house with watercooling you no longer need a boiler, not to mention my housemates one is noisey as fuck with stock cooler (I think his is a saphire).
Down here it's like a £50 difference between the 780 and the 290 but I'd rather pay an extra £50, have better drivers and not have a wind tunnel in my room.
It's 30c here, it's hot enough in the UK.
Also I think IppE is right, power consumption is lower but I don't pay the electric bill so I don't care too much.
Alright. Lets the argument battle begin shall we?
Now you friend use A REFERENCE design of 290. NO !@#*!@$*!@#!@ ITS HOT AND NOISY BECASUE EVERY (good ) REVIEW WEBSITE POINT THIS OUT.... * FACE PALM*
Hmm amd behind? Hmmm... are you stuck in time or so? I dont believe amd is behind, maybe a little late to the high end party of video cards, but hell they will come there. Even though their CPU is now outdated by the high end intel stuff(hold up there. Eventhough outdated doesn't mean they suck. It still function pretty good). Their doing pretty good in terms of technology in to the APU. The kavari stuff... Google it xD.
Now lets get the reference card out of the blue and we use non reference benchmarks and let see how 290 (And 290X also 280X) fair against other non reference 700 series, mainlyt he 780 770 and 760.
So i keep it short. So its easy. I took the images form.. The obvious titan black review because its the latest and everything is in it. If you are looking for indvidual review sources is below. If you want to read through. If not. then get back to your cave where you came from
. Allong with all the myths and stuff with you
. :
For the benchmark snobs folks:
Reference R290 heat, power, and noise charts:

Also: AMD DRIVERS ARENT BAD. THEY ARE JUST AS GOOD AS NVIDIA. NOW GET OUT WHEN YOU SAY ITS BAD. BECAUSE YOU ARE STUCK IN TIME.
i love caps. heh.
And for the volks say nvidia drivers crash allot. CLEAN INSTALL THAT DRIVER AND REDO IT. I HAD NEVER BSOD ( BLUE SCREEN) AND OR PROBLEMS WITH NIVIDA DRIVER AND OR AMD. IF YOU KEEP SAYING IT CRASHES, GET OUT AS WELL.
Lots of joy put in here
A youtube video just pop up in my subscriptionbox. Its a non reference comparison of R9 290X:
Im a tad bit of a Nvidia Fanboy, But Ive had issues with both sides. Its not Always the driver at fault. Sometimes its your Own System Configuration.
Or something else on your system that is out of date.
Ive had Nvidia Drivers give me hell.
And the same goes for AMD on a friends system.
Best just buy the card....
Thats in your Budget
That Performs how YOU want in the games YOU play...
and has the features YOU care about
Nvidia - 3D - Geforce Experience - Shadowplay - Shield
AMD - Eyefinity - Mantle - Raptor (GFE)
Etc...

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8270/amd-q2-2014-quarterly-earnings-analysis To most people its just as obvious Intel CPU's are superior to AMD CPU's just as nVidia GPU's are superior to AMD GPU's.
However, the superiority of nVidia GPU's are AMD GPU's aren't nearly as substantial as Intel's CPU's over AMD. The real problem with AMD GPU's are with OEM's, software quality and product cycle alignment with nVidia.
Unlike AMD CPU's, AMD GPU's are exceptionally well engineered, just as well as nVidia's, albeit entirely different approaches. This makes AMD GPU's superior for datamining (Bitcoin, etc) where a competing nVidia GPU would need to be TESLA-based, and even then not as effective at mass execution. But the downside is AMD's less powerful but more plentiful cores are no competition to nVidia's more powerful but less plentiful core's in raw texel throughput, making them better for gaming.
Which is interesting when you consider AMD GPU's are in all the game consoles. The answer to that: they're cheaper. Just like their CPU's. Console OEM's would never hit their price target using Intel CPU's and nVidia GPU's. That approach is why the original XBOX wasn't as successful as the XBOX 360. It was just too expensive compared to the PS2 and Gamecube, and even at that price Microsoft lost tons of money on it, somewhere in the order of $100/ea at launch
TL:DR... Stop with this non-sense... Both are fine in their respected way. Just dont use the reference design in any cards... Also do your research. Or overkill the research. Though have to admit picking right card is pretty hard... -.-"
Actual TL:DR: there is none...
Also: How to overkill a post. Heh Have fun reading. I would love to hear your comment on this.
I also hope people dont get me wrong on the GET OUT joke. Im proberly bad at jokes... Not a build commedian heh.. Edit1: MORE STUFF!
