Hi everyone. I'm going ot buy one of these two video cards, and I would know which has the better performance/price ratio.
I founded R7 260x at 120£ (more or less 190$) and R9 270x at 160£ (265$). I'm going to play on a 1080p screen with a i7 2600K and 750W psu. I want know if R9 is worth of 40£ more than R7. I don't mind to play all at ultra, if i play at high it goes well, and so I prefer save 40£, but, of course, if the R9 perform so much more than R7 I think i'll buy it! I don't want change the card again in a couple of years because it doesn't be enought to new games!
It seems also that R7 has also True Audio...

Thanks a lot!
 


It is totally up to you but there is texel rate 30% but 82% difference on pixel rate really making the 270X close to 50% faster than the 260X as seen in the link I posted before. Confirmed here the 270X has 154% the performance of 260X http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/R7_260X/26.html
