If you want to play both DX11 and DX12 exclusive games then you'd definitely want the 550Ti. If raw performance is what you want for games you'd actually be able to play, the 2xx series has a marginal lead. I know a GTX 295 is on par, with a minor lead over a GTX 480.

The only thing is the 285 is gonna run a lot hotter with almost double the 550Ti TDP

Rule of thumb though, always go with the newer architecture~

I've in mind one of these two. If you know a better model i can check prices. I am from Argentina and not much variety to choose from. I will not play many games. But I want to run well without problems. Newest serious the game would play bf3 at most. Hope you understand me.

I personally like the R7-265, only it's price at the moment in the budget build theater makes me overlook it. Though a noted drop in performance for the 260, you spend half the money and could crossfire them for the same price with better gains that the 265. Although I tout the always buy a single powerful GPU, it wouldn't apply when the difference per dollar is as skewed as between these two cards.
