**NEW AMD Radeon Driver, EXTREME boost for game.

[Fiorana]

Or you have a GTX 780 for about 500 and an AMD R9 290X for about 600 and the 780 is around 20% faster... owait. Also boards aren't all that different in price, and most will support both Multi GPU systems. Not to mention, you don't need to do things like CAD to see the difference in Intel/AMD CPUs.

AMD prices on the 280X and up are all out of whack right now, they're supposed to be a lot cheaper but people are eating them up for crypto currency mining so the retailers jacked the price up, they're more than a $100 over MSRP right now. Other than that I don't know what reviews you're looking at but AMD's 290x is just as fast as a 780Ti.
