Anandtech Benchmark : GTX 770 vs R9 280X
Anandtech Benchmark :GTX 770 vs R9 290
R9 290 kills it in every game .

Depends on when these benchmarks were made...

A card that has higher memory bandwidth simply run game at higher detail . I speak from my experience with Dolphin
I don't think a better driver can make 45% gap close to zero . As if AMD can't make better driver...
I don't have Kepler card so I don't know . I admit recent NVidia driver gave huge improvement in PC games but I don't notice any difference in Dolphin

Nope. More Recent benchmarks shows the R9-290 beating it consistently. If we factor in Crossfire vs SLI (Which we don't need to because Dolphin doesn't use it but whatever) then it's a slaughter.

SLI , Crossfire , Dual GPU are all useless for Dolphin

Why do people repeat what was said right after it was said?

Because someone didn't read the original post and therefore it was restated.
