Gigabyte GTX 760 vs Gigabyte R9 270x once again

Yaspop · Jul 15, 2014

Hi there,
Currently I have 300$ for the graphics card and I cannot pay one more dollar in it's budget,
I have two choices for the GPU, I also don't have a powersupply,
Should I get the Gigabyte R9 270x (243$) + the needed powersupply or the Gigabyte GTX 760 2GB and wait for 3 months to actually use it and have the psu & does the gtx 760 deserve waiting? (I mean the performance)

i would go for Radeon 270, definitely cheaper
you can adjust the clock speed to match 270x

Before rebates: $299.98
R9 280 overclocked will be much better than R9 270 OC.

Though the gtx 760 has the edge theirs not a large difference between them

Suztera's combo looks good. The R9 280 is on par or maybe even slightly better than the 760 and overclocks really well

Ok, where are you from and which store are you buying from (provide a link, preferably) ?

Yaspop · Jul 15, 2014

Well, I am from Egypt ,
The store is http://www.egprices.com/en/

Scremin34Egl · Jul 15, 2014

Yaspop :

That's about 2144 Egyptian pounds ?

I think the R9 270x is the best option then

One dollar = 7.1 EGP

Yaspop · Jul 15, 2014

I can afford the Gigabyte edition,
But there's no much difference between the 760 and 270x right?

Scremin34Egl · Jul 15, 2014

Yaspop :

At most like 9 to 10 percent

I don't think you should torture yourself for 3 months just to get it

You can game pretty much every modern game even now on high+ settings with a stable 50-80 framerate at 1080p with a 270X, in terms of longevity however, that depends on what you're looking to get out of the card. The next gen stuff is very very VRAM whoring (Even on 1080p) and dependent if you take a look at the horribly ported Watch Dogs, and if that's the staple of next-gen console ports, you never know.

Maybe the patient game and holding off for the much better 280 with a psu would suffice. I mean, if you have a rig that's good enough for now, to run anything even less than decently, I'd wait. If this is a new gaming rig altogether grabbing it right now would not be such a bad idea

Good luck & Have fun with your purchases, anything 270X and up will be very enjoyable for you

Thanks Horc, I'll get the r9 270x cause I have only this year for gaming
Gotta study next year to be in a good college
