So, I'm having a hard time deciding which graphics card to buy.
I was looking at buying a Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X. Its quite cheap and offers a good overclocking headroom, low noise levels and a black PCB and cooler that will fit perfectly in my system.
But the Leadtek GTX 760 is around $30-$40 more. Its a reference design and cooler and likely don't have much overclocking potential. I could also put an after market Arctic Accelero on it, but will make the price difference even bigger, with no guarantee that it will help with overclocking.
Keep in mind that I'm not in the US, and prices are very different.
I'm not going for the 7870 because the price difference is small and I don't really care about the games offered.
Is the GTX 760 really worth the additional price, especially for a reference design? I think an overclocked 270X will offer better performance.
