When overclocked, the 780 is consistently faster.
Apparently there's not a whole lot over overclock room with the 290x, with the reference card anyway. The 290x is a lot cheaper tough.

Damn. No time to watch that at the moment. What's the average stock voltage of the 290x? If it ain't overclock friendly because of voltage ceilings, that's a deal breaker.
EDIT: I just realized it's still using the 8-pin + 6-pin connection, so 300W is the max TDP. I would've expected two 8-pins this time around for a flagship card. Water coolers would've been able to pull ridiculous amounts of power from it. Not impressed. This is just a cheaper option for what's already out there. Sadly, it's what I was expecting subconsciously. I'll go ahead and say that Maxwell will be incremental and expensive as well, regardless of new architecture and technology that's still too young to translate to raw performance.
