i do know the r9 270x's are basically just renamed 7870s but based on some reviews and benchmarks i read the r9 270x, (the asus one anyways) actually does a LITTLE bit better, and has the dx 11.2 and what not, just some features the 7870 doesnt have that im aware of anyways.
the link for the asus r9 270x = http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
link for asus 7870 = http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
right now the r9 270x is only $10 more but the 7870 is on sale but will probably go back up to $230 soon. i want some help deciding which will be better in the long run for the new games coming out like bf4, witcher 3, titan fall etc. and if it helps/matters my case is a thermal take commander and i have a corsair cx 600w psu, 8gb ram.

i think i changed what i want now actually. i was looking at benchmarks and i think i will either go with a radeon hd 7950 (asus or sapphire version) or a gtx 760 (asus version). they are pricier but i am going to wait until the next newegg sale for the new gpu. i am currently rocking a 5750 so anything would be an upgrade really. but with these two new card choices will they still fit fine in my thermaltake commander?

but with the 7950 it is a 3gb 384 bit vs. 760 with 2 gb 256 bit. does that difference really matter? and the 7950 comes with the never settle forever bundle with 3 games vs 760 with only 1. is the difference that big that it is well worth the 760 even with lower specs? http://anandtech.com/bench/product/855?vs=854 here is a benchmark between the two for a quick reference. and i dont know if i posted before but if it helps i have a fx-6300, 8gb ram, 600w psu. and the same commander case.

so from bringing my dead post back to life and after alot of looking around at prices, benchmarks and what not i have come with 3 choices, the 270x, the geforce 760 and the 280x. knowing the new games that are starting to come out and are being made the majority are leaning towards amd cards like bf4 and the new mantle feature with amd. the r9 280x is out of my comfort zone with the price and 760 is where im comfortable with the price but the r9 270x is a bit weak. from the benchmarks i seen the 270x is at the adequate level of performance but im looking for something that will last another little blowing games out of the water before having to tone it down. and im hoping you guys can inform me that geforce cards are still going to be strong and not too far behind the amd cards i will be happy to go with the 760. but so far im convinced with a 270x or wait for a sale on 290x. and it would help alot if you guys posted a link to a trusted benchmark page with these 3 cards. its hard to find a good benchmark with lats light, skyrim, bf4 MULTIPLAYER. it ticks me off when benchmarks do bf4 single player. i know its more accurate but who buys battlefield for single player? thanks

did you ever try ultra? the card i have now is a hd 5750 and i can play bf4 high with 30fps average. but i play on medium so i dont dip down as far. i want to be able to play highest quality 1080p on every game thats out. and it seems that a 760 can do it. but id like 40fps average and not dip down 30 in heavy gameplay.

i doubt it wouldnt stay at 40 fps. my friend owns bf4. so i dunno i cant test it right now. i just play when he logs on on my pc.u should be more than fine on the 760
i think ur gonna do fine either way 760 or 7950 or 7970 or 280x. all are good cards. if u wanna hold off to blackfriday id recommand that. the 760 is good,
but the 280x can offer afew fps more. but also cost more currently. but who knows blackfriday might change that
.
easy answer if u can wait get the 280x if comes on sale. if not get the 760 or a 7950 or 7970

well 4 gig versions are a waste of money since the 760 cant really utilize all that vram. not quite fast enought. also u pay a premium for little performance increase.
id say the gigabyte 760 oc has a factory overclock and overclocks well and with the wind-force cooler fans is well chilled and temps dont go too high.

so looking for some 760s i found two that i cant tell if they are the same. i think the gigabyte would fit but it would be a pretty tight fit anyways considering my case is only like 7.5 inches wide and the gigabyte card is 5.06" and the cords plug in the side and what not.
but here is one evga superclock: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
and here is another: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
and here is the gigabyte: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
my questions are 1: what is the differance between the two evga? i cant tell for myself and 2: would the gigabyte still fit? i think it will but i want to be sure before i order. my case says its 8" on the website but when i put a ruler up to its only about 7.5". and 3: which is the best and will give me the most fps on 1080p ultra on games like bf4, metro last light, etc..
ps. my amd choice is a vapor x 7950 if i go back to that.
