so i have MSI r9 270x GPU and i want to upgrade my reg. for a better performance so have a friend who have that asus GTX 960 and want to exchange his card for mine.....and i pay about 60$ should i trade? or it's not worth it! thanks
NOTE: my card the r9 270x is used for 1 year and warranty left 2 years
his card the GTX 960 is new but without warranty
my REG.:|Proccesor: intel core i5-4690 @ 3.7 GHz |GPU: MSI R9 270x Gaming edition 2GB |Motherboard: Asus Z87-K | RAM: Kingston 1333 12GB | HDD: Seagate 2TB 7200RPM | PSU: Corsair VS 550W |CASE: ZALMAN Z3 PLUS white
 
the 270x is being rebranded as the 370x... but i dont see any reviews up yet to compare to the gtx960. otherwise the 370x is roughly equal to a gtx950. the gtx960 overall in games would be about 10% faster than your current card. if you feel a quieter, smaller, much more efficient gpu that is 10% faster is worth $60 then do it. i personally would save up for something like a r9-390 or a gtx970 though if you want to notice a huge difference.

i am from egypt the currency here is Egyptian pound....1 dollar = 7.83EGP so the new asus GTX 960 card here is 2100 EGP = 268$ and the new r9 270x = 1600EGP = 204$ so i would pay 500 EGP = 64$ for the GTX 960 like a new no warranty....when my r9 270x is 1 year used 2 years warranty left
so what do you think after these details again..i am sorry
