I want to upgrade my GPU now.I have these options in mind R7 260X , GTX 560 NonTi OC Edition , AMD 6950. I play Open world games and i don't want to upgrade my GPU for the next 3/4 years. Consider your suggestions based on New games compatibility and synchronization with newer game engines! Thanks.

PS: I know 560 OC & 6950 are both 256bit card and both ruled the reign in past years.

The R7 260X and GTX 560 non-TI perform about the same, and the HD 6950 is comparable as well. However, the GTX 560 takes quite a bit more power to run, and the HD 6950 takes way too much power.

The R7 260X is your only real option out of those 3. It already doubles the power consumption of your current card. The 560 would triple consumption, and the 6950 would quadruple it. That's really not worth the risk at all on your current power supply.

Get the R7 260X.

Those were my thoughts exactly but I couldn't think of a way to word it without seeming condensending.
