the 270x is slightly faster than the gtx660(non gk104 based oem 660) by about 6% on average depending on the game. the 270x is a tier below the 760 though, even the lowest level gk104 660ti is faster than the full pitcairn gpu found in the 7870/270x. the 670/760 is more comparable to the 7950/r9-280

If u can raise the budget, go for GTX 760 which is significantly better than R9 270x.
