They are pretty close performance wise. Depending on the game sometimes the 770 leads and sometimes the 280x leads. You really cant go wrong with either IMO. *If* the 280x prices return to the original suggest retail price (and it is going in that direction finally) it would be cheaper and be the better value card to choose.

I love my 280X though some seem to think otherwise lately.

I think they are pretty comparable, ya.

They are fairly equal at that resolution, though a nice OC'd 770 should be fairly faster than a OC'd 280x out of the box, before adding additional overclocking.

Of course this is within any reasonable margin of error, so I would personally go for the one that has the better pricing, features, warranty, etc. Maybe look at benchmarks for the specific games you play as well.
