Sorry to post to your thread, but I have a somewhat related question. My Gigabyte 780 Ti GHz was a disaster and I am on the lookout for a new graphics card. I was about to pull the trigger on the EVGA 780 Superclocked ACX card, but started looking into AMD options. I saw that Powercolor makes a 290x that was in my price range as well. I have been doing research and was still wondering if the R9 290x was good reliability wise? Is there any reason to go for the 780 over the R9 290?
