Is it worth upgrading from a msi 560ti 1gb to a sapphire r9 270x 2gb? Will I see a drastic increase in performance?

Specs:
phenom II x4 955
asus m4a79xtd evo
560ti
650w psu
6gb ripjaws
24" and 32" Lcd that I swap around

Thank you for saving me guys, as I had one on hold. I really thought the upgrade would be quite noticeable and worth it, guess not(newbie). I suppose now that I know, I will wait until the Christmas Sale or Boxing Day for an upgrade.
Now, if it were up to you guys, what would be the best bang for the buck card to replace my 560ti? 280x? 770? I'm not going to cough up $500 + and I have a budget, but something that's the best entry level fit to replace the 560 that will yield a very nice performance gain.

Very much appreciated again guys, thanks.

I also have a 560 Ti and will be upgrading in the near future. I think either the 770 or the 280x would be the best bet.

You may want to consider that your CPU+Mobo could bottleneck a significant GPU upgrade, but you will still see a big performance improvement.
