easily?
you would easily pay an extra $75 or 125$ if you buy a 770 which has more than 2GB of memory (the 280X has 3GB minimum) for this

it may be your preference, but I wouldn't call giving an extra $ for a practically equivalent card an "easy choice".
if u read what i wrote, in my location they cost the same.

3D vision (and stereoscopy in general) uses about 20% or so extra memory for the same load, pretty cool though especially because it is more supported in games than AMD's approach to 3D.
I am not saying there are no reasons to chose the 770 over the 280x, just surprised about the "easy choice" part and I am going to stop here before the conversation turns into this:

yeah
i want to avoid all that nvidia vs amd, we have it enough that was not the purpose of this thread.
Still i would not recommend purchasing the Phoebus, the hardware is cool the software is garbage.

You know i had the same experience with my EssenceSTX -- great hardware horrible software -- I wonder why this is. Their software support for their motherboards, in my experience, has been excellent. Their soundcards have had the opposite treatment.

Hah, got to love comments like this. Why would you take a card that have 2GB and more or less same performance as 280X?
Sometimes i really don't understand you.
2GB isn't the factor at my use, i prefer nvidia as i have vastly superior XP with them then with AMD, and they have 3D Vision which i use, AMD don't have anything that come close to 3D Vision... so yeah all of those make me choose 770 despite 2GB.
