R7 260X or 750TI for an AMD processor?

ABHIonPC · Jul 30, 2014

I have an FX 6300. Just wanted to know which GPU would me be better? I dont intend on spending any more for a superior GPU. So out of these two, which one should i go for?

I play BF3 and Watch Dogs.

Post your full specs please.

Novuake · Jul 30, 2014

A R9 270 makes more sense than a R7 260X, since its only 15$ more than a GTX750ti.

Anyway, as posted above, what are your specs?
What resolution do you game at?

EasyLover · Jul 30, 2014

For watch dogs, both cards won't do you a good job. Better aim for R9 270x for better gaming experience. which Motherboard and PSU do you have?

RobCrezz · Jul 30, 2014

The 750 Ti is better.

Edit: edited as I was incorrect about the 260x.

RobCrezz :

No, its not... :/

Here are my specs
AMD FX 6300
Gigabyte 970A-DS3
Kingston HyperX 8GB 4x2
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Windows 8.1 64 bit
EVGA 500W PSU

Novuake :

Yeah, sorry, you are correct. Was thinking of the 265.

i have GTX 750 TI OC and can easily play Watch Dogs 1080p High FXAA with WorseMOD.
Core i5 2400
4gb ram ( is an issue)
GTX 750 ti OC

Usman Sajid :

Your specs are with Intel i5. Intel CPUs are much stronger in performance than AMD. i5 is mostly recommended for gaming rigs regardless of cpu generation.

EasyLover · Jul 30, 2014

OP: Consider buying R9 270x. R9 270x is starting at near about $159 whereas 750Ti is starting at near about $114. R9 270's starting price is near about $139. See if you can manage any of them.

ABHIonPC · Jul 30, 2014

Where I live the R9 270X is almost 100$ more.

ABHIonPC :

I avoid recommending the GTX 750 Ti because its pretty badly priced here in the US, but if its priced well in your region by all means go with that. Just don't pay more for it than you'd pay for a Radeon R7 265 in the same region, unless you need the extra power efficiency. Its not worth paying more for based solely on performance.

It is indeed a bit faster than the R7 260X.

EasyLover · Jul 31, 2014

In which region do you live? What is the price like there and what is your budget please?

ABHIonPC · Jul 31, 2014

Well I live in the Middle East in a country called Oman.

The prices are higher here than in US.
For example the R7 260X is almost $160.

Because of the high prices my budget is only around $600 including OS (Windows 8 64Bit)

EasyLover · Jul 31, 2014

Oki. in that case your best bet is GTX 750Ti.

ABHIonPC · Jul 31, 2014

EasyLover :

Over the R7 260X?

RobCrezz · Jul 31, 2014

ABHIonPC :

Yes, the 750 Ti is better.

EasyLover · Jul 31, 2014

Yes. GTX 750/750Ti beats or comes at par with (approx) GTX 650 and 650Ti. 650Ti is more powerful than R7 260X. Plus with GTX 750Ti, you won't need a higher watts PSU as 750 only draws power from PCI slot on the motherboard i.e 75W.

If 750Ti is expensive then you have no choice other than R7 260X.

EasyLover · Jul 31, 2014

check the benchmark results for both cards:

EasyLover :

Is the Zotac Edition good? MSI is not available here. Left with the Asus, EVGA, Zotac.

RobCrezz · Jul 31, 2014

ABHIonPC :

Assuming they are all 2GB, go with whichever is the cheapest IMO, all 3 of them should be fine.

EasyLover · Jul 31, 2014

Brand wise choose between evga and asus. My choice is evga

PCBuilderMonster · Jul 31, 2014

GTX 750 Ti or R9 270 (Non X) For the GTX 750 Ti, go with MSI. For R9 270, Sapphire and Gigabyte are good.

Obnoxious · Jul 31, 2014

The GTX 750 Ti is a solid card in terms of price, energy-efficiency and performance. However the R9 270 is slightly better than it, but not by far. The R9 270x performs the same as the R9 270, it's only clocked a mere 100MHz higher; I'd go with the R9 270 over the R9 270x if it's cheaper. There isn't a much performance difference between the R9 270 and R9 270x at all.

The GTX 750 Ti and the R9 270/R9 270x will provide you around the same performance. It's your choice which you decide to purchase.

All the best.
