Hi!
I am building my own PC and with everything else chosen, I still can't decide on the GPU. I'll go with i5-4440, ASRock B85 PRO4 LGA1150 ATX, 8GB RAM and a 450 W Corsair power supply.
The decision I have to make is between:
R9 270 (probably Sapphire's) for 700 PLN = 140 GBP = 230 USD
GTX 660 (probably MSI's) for 650 PLN = 130 GBP = 215 USD
The decision is made more difficult by Assassin's Creed 4 being bundled with the already cheaper 660. On the other hand, however, the nVidia card is actually older and a bit less efficient. I'd love a free game I actually want to play and some money saved, but I'm afraid the GTX 660 will become obsolete quicker. I don't mind a few frames per second of difference, it's more about compatibility or driver support in the future, stuff like that.
Which one would you reccomend to go with?
EDIT: Another thing that confuses me even more is: Mantle, which improves ATI GPU's performance; And the newest 334.89 nVidia drivers, which also boost the performance quite a bit (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-driver-geforce-334.89,26068.html).
