I'm not sure about which one to get. The salesman told me that there was no STRONG differences or performance advantages of 270 on 260X. In price, hell it's a difference, like 75USD. And I know R9 series surpasses R7. But what do you think guys? Any help would be very appreciated.

I have the 270 and i would say the 260x is like a 750ti thats what i read when i was looking which one to buy. I went for the 270 because the fps difference is quite significant. Like 10 to 15 fps in some games. I mostly play bf3 and 4 so i needed something powerful however if you dont play any gpu intensive games go for the 260x if you want performance 270 is awesome. Differences in specs are higher bit interface much more stream proccesors and other in-depth specs.

Except for that memory bandwidth and stream processors, R7 260X offers better performance.

None taken but it seems like you did not read it the way I wanted it to be read. So again my fault. Tahiti Le here refers to HD 7870 (XT) based cards not R9 270. :)

I understand that,not my point,but anyway,in the end it doesn't make such a huge difference.
