So I have been looking around Toms and Google with the same question but I just cant find a good enough solution. Anyways, I'm building my first rig and was debating between these two vid cards, even though I already ordered a Sapphire R9 270X 4gb, I was wondering if it would be best just to get a 760 instead. Maybe other suggestions? I kinda want to stay in the range of >~$250-260

I am planning to run SLI/Xfire in the future, just not now and main use is pretty much gaming and multiple monitors

Other info:
CPU - AMD FX-8350
Ram - G.Skill Sniper 2x4 8gb 1866
MoBo - ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 (Tom's Harware Smart Buy Award :D)
 
Solution
Well the 760 is about 15% faster plus sli works smoother than crossfire. I'd get the 760 instead but I also prefer nvidia due to physx, geforce experience and other features

Nooby question: Does Nvidia have like an Eyefinity kinda thing?

I've never used any Radeon stuff and my first "ok" GPU for anything is my current laptop with a 670MX, is it the same/alike Nvidia Control Panel?
