So two graphics cards separated by over £300 in price and 3 years in development time. I'm sure we all already know the winner but in this video my AMD R9 290 Reference design card will go head to head with my Nvidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition.
******************** Improtant Notice ************************
This is not meant to be a fair comparison, just a video for observation reasons only.
The R9 290 would be better matched against the GTX 780 but that is not the point of the video.
The point of the video is to observe the difference between two cards that are 3 years apart and are more than double the difference in price
