Check out how the R9 290 and GTX 780 compare when pitted against each other head to head. You can get both of these cards for under £250 now because of recent price drops. Personally I feel these cards trade blow, but there are pros and cons to getting either one. But for now I will be comparing stock and maximum obtainable overclock results on a few well know benchmarks.
