All three are in my budget. Which one should I go for?

I'd like to go with the R7 260X because it's the cheapest of the three and I've had bad experience with NVIDIA in the past. But I will consider the other two cards if they perform significantly better than the 260X. I've seen quite a few benchmarks and from those it's evident that the 260X trails both of these in most games but I'm hopeful that MANTLE will change that in the future.

So what do you guys suggest? Is MANTLE a considerable factor in choosing the Graphics card or will the NVIDIA cards still be a better choice?

PS: Pardon my English. It's not my first language.

Hey

Mantle is very usefull untill you don't 4K games ( I guess you won't! )
AMD cards are awesome just like nvidias, though, 750 ti is the new ( technology with maxwell ) that has amazing power consumption/performance ratio!

You should definitelly check that one the most, 260x is a good card but at that price you will get better performance / power consumption and it will last longer with a 750 ti!!

I recommend the 750 ti :)

@RulesSpew
But the 750 Ti costs around 1–1.5k more than the 260X. Is it worth spending the extra cash?

BTW, I won't go 4k LOL.

@IDontUnderstand
Well, I'm from India and here the 260X is available for 10–12k and 750 Ti & 650 Ti BOOST are available for 12.5–13.5k.
