The GTX760 is much better value and performance option right now over the R9 270X. The price of the R9 is artificially inflated due to the cryptocurrency mining rush.

Performance-wise, the GTX 760 is a rebrand of the GTX 670. The R9 270X is a rebrand of the HD7870 (Tahiti) models. Which only slightly outperform the GTX 660Ti.

GTX 760=GTX 670 > R9 270X=HD 7870(Tahiti) > GTX 660Ti

@Teejers OK first off the 270x is an overclocked 7870 (Pitcairn) basically what a 770 is to a 680. Second the 760 is not a rebrand of the 670 and it performs less than a 670 although not by much. Please, please know what you are talking about before replying

@fudungi there was nothing listed on the newegg page about free games for the r9 series so I took that to mean there were no games with it. If you could please link me to a page that proves otherwise I'd appreciate it. Last I heard you didn't get anything with the r9/r7 cards it was just with the 7xxx series. But even the free games you got with them tended to not be brand new high end games like assassins creed. I believe their best game was far cry 3 but you can pick that up for less than ten bucks most of the time

If it helps at all with my msi 270 I got i usually get 60-70 fps in bf4 when It gets crazy it can drop to 45 but it usually stays over 50 fps which is really good performace for the price. I am playing 1920x1080 with ultra preset 2x msaa. can play maps like operation locker with 4x msaa and still get 60-70 with no drops at all. I dont know much about the 760 just giving some input on what I am getting i battlefield 4

op is deciding between the 760 and the 270x. 270x != 270
