What are the prices for both where you live?

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

well , from india , and budget is 20,000 INR(325$) max

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

290 $ for r9 270x

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

250 $ for r9 270

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

and nvidia 660 ti for 340 $

a1blaster · Feb 16, 2014

get 760 instead...760 and 660 ti are priced similarly and 760 performs slightly better...
your 450W psu is enough for 760

AnEwG · Feb 16, 2014

GTX 760 is a little more expensive in India actually. Do you care much for PhysX?
See if that is going to help you decide:

Note that for less than 20000 Rs you can get a good brand R9 270x (MSI or Sapphire), the closest GTX 660 ti to 20000 Rs is made by Gainward.
Also what resolution will you be gaming at?

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

its 720p , well just checked out 760 , and it requires 600w

, will it really gonna work ? with 450w

Whammy · Feb 16, 2014

Theres no way the 760 needs a 600w psu. I would personally go for the 270x over the 660ti, just because I have one and I can play bf4 on Ultra 1080p at 60+ fps. But that's just my opinion.

AnEwG · Feb 16, 2014

At 720p you Don't need that much GPU Power, both the GTX 760 and R9 270x are an overkill. The r7 260x would be great for this resolution.

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

And just the final qustion , is it really gona work with cm thunder 450w , the r9 270x

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

See , im not joking, it really requires 600x smps

AnEwG · Feb 16, 2014

You don't need the R9 270x! That is an overkill at your resolution!

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

Really , then what tooo get , !!!!!!!

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

Just checked it , the exact resolution is 1600x1200

OMGninjakiller · Feb 16, 2014

mohit_sr :

So is that the resolution you will be playing at?

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

Yep , could i run r9 270x with cm thunder 450x

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

450 w smps *

OMGninjakiller · Feb 16, 2014

mohit_sr :

Well, what model of r9 270x are you looking to buy (e.g MSI, Sapphire e.t.c)

AnEwG · Feb 16, 2014

If that is your native resolution then then you should get the R9 270x, I think the MSI HAWK edition is a few Rs less than your budget and I heard good things about it. You are one of the few here who have 4:3 aspect ratio monitors (just like me).
Your power supply should be fine powering the R9 270x, it has a combined amperage of 30 amp on the +12v rail, while the card needs a minimum of 28A.

OMGninjakiller · Feb 16, 2014

AnEwG :

I just looked at the r9 270x and it seems that the card needs 2 6pin pci-e power connectors, his PSU only has 1

mohit_sr · Feb 16, 2014

I can use a adapter which i will get with. 270x

AnEwG · Feb 16, 2014

He can get a molex adapter. I would have advised him to get a better psu but I think he has stated in his first post that this is not possible since he just got that one.

really confused what to buy b/w r9 270x or nvida 660ti
