HD 290 Crossfire or GTX 780 SLI for 1440p?

I dont think theres going to be much difference to look at, in the ops shoes i would be looking at getting a second hand 780 for sli but if from scratch then proberly the 290's as for 1400p i would find the 4gb of ram a bit of a deal breaker.
 
From reading posts on here of overclocked 290's they're not even with a 780 as the R290 pulls quite a big advantage when clocked.

I bought my 780 when it was cheap, same card is now £40 more expensive and its only a few weeks old do I won't loose too much on it.

Remember I want as much performance as possible.
An R290 cannot beat a GTX 780...
 
BF4+ Mantle, a stock R290 will probably beat an oc'ed 780 but that's just one title.
Mantle means nothing to me till I see some proper hard numbers from review sites & owner reviews..

R290 will beat a 780 in some, the 780 will beat a 290 in others.
Yes there just about 100% neck & neck at the same clocks
