i have SAPPHIRE HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 and want to upgrade to Sapphire R9-270X Dual-X Boost OC 4GB GDDR5 256 Bit..is it worth it?

No, its the same card essentially. Only marginal performance increases there.

They are both in the same tier. They recommend jumping up 3 tiers ie to 290 or 290x or gtx 780 or 970

Hello...Performance wise here they look very similar... the 4 gb will allow better multi-Monitor and Larger resolution support.

But I agree with the above Poster... I would spend $$$ on Different Models.
