Shopping for a new enthusiast GPU? Assuming you want the best value, choosing between the and the isn't that hard at the moment.

The former comes with all the bells and whistles for $300 while the latter costs an extra $40 to $50, and their performance is no mystery considering they are rebadged versions of 2012's $400 and $470, respectively. When we tested those cards a couple of years ago, the was 7% faster at 1920x1200 and 11% faster at 2560x1600, while the standard 7970 matched the GTX 680's performance. Given that the GHz Edition was not only faster than the GTX 680 but also 18% cheaper, it won our recommendation as the best value $400+ graphics card. Besides product names, fairly little has changed since then. Today the HD 7970 GHz Edition is called the R9 280X and costs $100 less than its initial incarnation.

Likewise, the GTX 680 was also reborn as the GTX 770, though Nvidia at least went to some trouble to disguise that fact by employing significantly faster GDDR5 memory and a slightly higher core clock speed, netting between 5 and 10% more performance. Even so, because R9 280X is cheaper, we feel it's a better value. Should you agree, your purchasing decision will be more about sifting through more than a dozen competing brands.

MSI GTX670 Power Edition Among overclockers, they call this card “The Goat Eater.” I’m not so sure why, but it’s probably a name deserving of such a beast. Maybe beasts eat goats but the point is that the MSI GTX670 Power Edition is one of the best mainstream cards you can buy today. At stock speeds it’s in the same league as the AMD Radeon HD7970 and once overclocked it can stay on the tailpipes of the GTX680 fairly easily. Its a fitting beginning to the high-end segment and a tribute to the Geforce 600 family, which is slowly being replaced by Nvidia. For around R4700 its one of the best cards you can buy and it comes bundled with Metro: Last Light. On average, it’s also R500 – R800 cheaper than most Radeon HD7970 cards. However, the superior Radeon’s capabilities at high resolutions and the Never Settle game bundle may be the bigger attraction.

AMD Radeon HD7970 GHz Edition and Nvidia Geforce GTX770 Its becoming increasingly difficult to justify buying a GTX680 when it’s successor, the GTX770, is the same price or lower and outperforms it with an average 15% lead in most benchmarks and games. The GTX770 is what the GTX680 should have been. It overclocks better and higher, it runs cooler, it has better boost controls and some cards come with the sexy cooler also found on the GTX780 and the GTX Titan.

The only card that can stand up to it is the Radeon HD7970 GHz Edition. The price war that’s now going on in the R5000 – R6000 price bracket is heating up to extreme levels.

While AMD’s flagship has seen several price cuts already, the GTX770 is brand new and ends up being the same price. At resolutions like 2560 x 1440, these cards are what you need. Its just a pity the GTX770 still has a 256-bit memory bus. It could crush the Radeon easily, but Nvidia has chosen to profit off the card’s cheaper build materials instead of aiming for outright power. King of the Hill: Nvidia Geforce GTX780 • Nvidia Geforce GTX780 ± R9445. Nvidia Geforce GTX690 Nvidia’s dual-GPU cards approach something of a legendary status.

Not only are they for the elite, they’re also usually the last and final word in high-end performance. In previous years the dual-GPU products from both AMD and Nvidia had terrible stuttering issues, high idle power consumption, produced too much heat and were not as efficient as two similar single cards in SLI.

The GTX690 changed all that. Not only did it fix frame rate issues for Nvidia and introduce frame metering for smoother gameplay, it also used much less power at idle and at load than its predecessor, the GTX590.

Its brutally effective and its size means that it can still fit in a variety of chassis – some people even fit it into ITX enclosures. If its games you want along with the bragging rights, this is the better card to buy today. More Hardware news.
