Ati 7870 or Nvidia Gtx 760 vs ATI Radeon R9 270X (O.C edition)

mandeep148 · Jun 19, 2014

my budget is around 15k in indian Ruppees, and Ati 7870 is about, almost fit in budget, but if spending more 3k for Nvidia Gtx 760, is that worth to buy?
how much difference of Performance,
Ati 7870: 15000 INR
R9 2770x (o.c): 14500 INR
Nvidia Gtx 760: 18000 INR
3000 Difference, i can expand my budget but if just for 2 4 fps, should i buy Nvidia 760 or 7870 Still better?

They will both have similar performance.

Cheaper and better

7870=R9 270x
Gtx760<R9 280.
The 760 is faster than the 7870.
Reasons to consider 760-It is power efficient than the 7870 but the 760 is not that that much powerful than the 7870. But the fps diff. would not be 2-4 fps. See here:http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-280x-r9-270x-r7-260x,3635-11.html
I'd suggest getting a 280 if u can afford it.

terry4536 · Jun 19, 2014

The next step up in performance would be the R9-280X.

This hierarchy chart will show you the relative performance.

wah, you guys so helpful.
but i can expand my budget more than 17k

like i said ATi 7870: 15000 INR
R9 2770x (o.c): 14500 INR
Nvidia Gtx 760: 17-18000 INR
what to do

sourodip · Jun 19, 2014

If u can't expand your budget more than 18k, then get the 760. And if u cannot afford the 760, then get the 270x.

mandeep148 · Jun 19, 2014

and guys what mean by ati r9 270x O.c with boost Edition? can someone tell me this link http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-radeon-r9-270x-boost-oc-2-gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdtp5j69ssu9gj?pid=GRCDTP5J69SSU9GJ&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=270x&ref=1d31b910-efbf-41de-8a31-927c77147045 its much CHeaper, due to OC edition its better?

Alpha3031 · Jun 19, 2014

Are you doing an entire build or just upgrading graphics. what is your current build?

sourodip · Jun 19, 2014

Here's a 280-http://www.flipkart.com/msi-amd-r9-280-gaming-3-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdv8qbuge7gy7x?pid=GRCDV8QBUGZ8Y3FK&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=R9+280&ref=6faf534d-143b-4636-97dd-21d674d34b66

I think you can get a 280 around Rs.18000 from local stores.
Where are u from? Which city?

mandeep148 · Jun 19, 2014

Alpha3031 :

mandeep148 · Jun 19, 2014

sourodip :

actually i was saying my budget according to Flipkart, in my area its more expensive about 4k more cost, Gtx 760 i m getting locally 20k but in Flipkart 17k.
i live in Ludhiana,Punjab,India

sourodip · Jun 19, 2014

If u can afford the 760 then get it or if u can spend some more,then get the 280.
If u want to save some money and buy some extra memory,then get the 270x.

terry4536 · Jun 19, 2014

Pick the one you like. Either will be fine. There is no need to break the bank.

mandeep148 · Jun 19, 2014

Guys sorry for silly question..
But is amd r9 270x oc with boost edition better than normal version?

terry4536 · Jun 19, 2014

It has a little more performance.

sourodip · Jun 19, 2014

The boost edition is 500-1000rs. more than the normal version. It's just the clock speed, performance gain is not so much maybe say a boost of 7-8 fps.

the_count707 · Jun 19, 2014

Go for a 270 non X and overclock it, they can easily achieve beyond 270X speeds for cheaper.

sourodip · Jun 19, 2014

The 270 non-x and 270x are very closely priced in india.

terry4536 · Jun 19, 2014

I think I would recommend the GTX 760 over the R9-270 or 270X. That card seems to have some problems. There are many posts on this forum about it. I think the problems are mainly due to inexperienced users. But I don't think it is worth the headaches. The GTX 760 seems relatively problem free.

sourodip · Jun 19, 2014

760 is way better and is the best among the three(as is aid earlier) only if u can afford it.

Alpha3031 · Jun 19, 2014

Again, most of the problems were because of the reference cooler. There don't seem to be any reported specifically for the sapphire vapor X. If he can afford a 760, he can a 280.

terry4536 · Jun 19, 2014

That isn't what I'm taking about. There are many cases of freezing problems on the R9-270X regardless of manufacturer that are in no way related to temperature .

mandeep148 · Jun 19, 2014

I think I should go for 760 as you guys said. You all guys helped me so much.
In this forum there must be rep+ system. I mean many guys helped me and I need to select one answer which makes cruel. Lol
