Hi Guys I want to upgrade to a new graphics card, still using my old trusty gtx 470, I recently upgraded my motherboard and cpu so I want something to go with it.

My specs are:
Thermaltake Litepower 500W
Msi 970A-G46 rev2
AMD FX-6300 Black Edition
Corsair Dominator 4x2GB 1600Mhz RAM

So my question is a ASUS Gtx 760 or ASUS R9 270x Direct CU 2 TOP going to be a better choice for me. I was thinking the R9 because as far as i know it would run much better with a amd processor and mantle. I would love to be able to play bf4 on high-ultra, as my gtx 470 could do medium-high without aa and the fancy things turned off. Thanks for the input Guys!!

Therefore, if he wants to play bf4 on high-ultra, the 270x is better.

GTX 760 turns in better performance...but only slightly better. And while it shows 25% more FPS in BF3 and BioShock Infinite, it costs 40% more ($280USD for the GTX, $200USD for the 270X).

So, if you can easily afford the $280, go for the GTX. But if your wallet is going to scream at the extra $80, consider saving the money. Paying 40% more for only a 25% performance upgrade doesn't seem like a bargain to me.

He mentioned bf4, therefore the 270x would be the better option. (y)

A amd cpu runs the same with either amd or nvidia gpu, same with the gpu in a amd or intel system.

The 760 will run BF$ very well. The difference to me is the price between the two.

Price/Perfomance.
