270x Toxic or GTX 760

Atreyix · Jun 4, 2014

I am currently looking at graphics cards and being as I know that the 760 beats the normal 270x in almost every scenario, What about the 270x TOXIC vs a 760? How much difference is there between performance IN GENERAL?

BlankInsanity · Jun 4, 2014

Well your making the game unfair already, a non-reference 270x vs a reference 760? well ofc the 270x toxic is going to win. If you find a non-reference 760 like EVGA, MSI or Gigabyte then the 760 takes the crown

Atreyix · Jun 4, 2014

Sorry, I was should of added, I was looking at a MSI 760, and the Sapphire 270x. Herpa derp. So your saying, the 760 still would be better? By what margin?

damric · Jun 4, 2014

Not enough margin to matter. Just pick your favorite flavor, red or green.

Atreyix · Jun 4, 2014

Right on, so

Toxic being at $230: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202047&cm_re=270x_toxic-_-14-202-047-_-Product

and

GTX 760 being at $250: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745&cm_re=msi_760-_-14-127-745-_-Product

The extra $20 dollars Isn't worth the 760? XD

Go either really. If you are looking at the toxic i presume you like the aesthetic of it than the MSI twin Frozr cooler, then you can choose that.
The R9 270X toxic will trade blows with the GTX 760, so it will depends on what games favour which gpu.

Go with the GTX 760. It has several features that Radeon cards do not have.

damric · Jun 4, 2014

Ugh 2 free games, 1 free game. I like the MSI cooler better, but...I think the Sapphire wins for best value. I hate Sapphire, yet I have owned many Saphhire GPUs for the very reason of aggressive pricing.

Joseph DeGarmo :

Like Tress FX, TrueAudio, and Mantle?

Atreyix · Jun 4, 2014

One last thing... Which would OC better?... Probably the TOXIC?

Joseph DeGarmo · Jun 4, 2014

damric :

Fixed.

damric :

No,
Like:
- Shadowplay
- G-Sync
- PhysX
- TXAA
- hardware streaming (uses same NVENC encoder Shadowplay uses. Useful for local Steam streaming)

Of the above most people care about Shadowplay but G-Sync is a huge deal if you'll be updating your monitor in the lifetime of your video card.

damric · Jun 4, 2014

No one in their right mind is going to buy a G-synch monitor when you can use FREE-SYNCH

But anyways, the Sapphire is already binned high so if you want to overclock anyway get the MSI.

damric :

You mean this?

That's the one.

If your into OCing alot the Hawk Edition might get your interest, a little pricey though.

the price at amazon seemed a bit odd to me, should be $260, the seller seems legit judging by their number of rating but who knows. Your call

Atreyix · Jun 4, 2014

If I could find a reputable retail site that sells the hawk at a reasonable price "new" I would buy that. BUT, there isn't one that I have found XD. So In end result, I'm thinking I'm going to go with the TOXIC. Only because, My MOBO only supports Crossfire, and games in the future that are featuring AMD have my attention.

Thanks everyone!!

damric · Jun 4, 2014

Fair enough. Enjoy it.

Even the fastest factory overclocked 270X is going to lose by a significant margin to even a stock GTX 760. The MSI 270X Hawk comes out of the box at 1140 MHz.
