{Help me out!} graphics card debate...

For FFXIV wise there is quite a few complaints on Nvidia drivers not working properly with FFXIV thou.

The R9 290 received a lot of attention it is on the same league as the GTX 780 but costing much lesser. I owned the Gigabyte Windforce R9 290 OC. Runs smoothly on 1440p resolution at max settings.

Yeah I remember the r9 290 coming out a few days after I bought the 280x. It seemed to hit a sweet spot between price point versus performance on benchmark tests. Was pretty bummed about it. But I guess that's how it goes with technology, always something new to replace the old, kinda like chasing the carrot in mmos really
