Hello I have purchased a GTX 760 SC/ACX, and just noticed a sapphire dual-x R9 280X on sale, is it worth returning the 760 and purchasing the R9 280X?

It depends on how much money you will be out off doing that, the 280X is a better card but the 760 is a good card as well.

On Tom's gpu hierarchy chart, the GTX760 and R9-280X are in adjacent tiers, with the 280X being slightly stronger. I doubt that you would be able to detect any difference in actual usage without a synthetic benchmark.
I doubt that it would be worth your effort, even with an even swap.
If you prefer amd drivers, perhaps, but most seem to prefer the nvidia graphics drivers.

The 280x is a much better card than the 760. The 280x is on par with the 770, which is about 15-20% faster than the 760.

That said, I don't think it would be worth it to return the 760, pay shipping and restock fee AND the additional money for the 280x. Be happy with the 760, I love mine :)
