I want a nvidia card for shadowplay and I've seen if I sold my 270x I could buy a gtx 760. Will this give me a performance boost or will it be the same? Also is it worth me doing it?

That's one of the worst reviews from GPUboss I've ever seen. The 760 from Anandtech is using FXAA which takes very little hit to the frame rates, while the other review is using normal 4x AA. No wonder why the Crysis 3 bench mark shows the 760 at nearly twice as high as the 270X/7870. Here is Toms review of the 270X

Notice at 1080 in Crysis 3 the 760 has a 6 FPS lead over the 270X, not twice as many. If you are going to compare equivalent cards, at least use the same review. Don't pick and choose what gets used. The Tom's article doesn't have a summary page, so I'll use Techpowerup's.

In their review, the 760 is about 10% faster. Big whoop. In Tom's review of the 285 the 270X came out 3% faster then the 760, possibly showing these cards will handle newer games better then the older games they originally tested with.

I personally wouldn't worry about selling one card and buying another if you'll at best get a 10% improvement. Not worth the hassle. Save up your money and buy something better enough to be noticed/felt.

I unselected the "best answer" as it REALLY wasn't. The OP is free to choose it again if s/he so feels. But I really feel s/he didn't have all the information. (You might want to wait a bit for more people to chime in, I'd prefer my answer not get picked as I don't want anyone claiming I'm trying to inflate my best answer score. But to give the best answer to such a biased "review" is so wrong.)

Well thanks for letting me know, I will be more careful next time I look at their reviews.
