Sapphire 7870 Ghz Edtion vs. MSI R9 270X

I want to get one of these two cards, but don't know which. Which has better performance and by how much? What are their price/performance ratios?

The 7870 has a slightly better priceerformance ratio, but the 270x is typically slightly faster, though not by much

the 270x is the next gen 7870 so it is more efficient and performs better, also has better driver support.

Will both be able to max out games like BF4 and CS:GO at 50+ FPS?

CS it should be able to max out, BF4 it won't if you game at 1080p. It will give high settings with AA off 50+fps on BF4 at 1080p.
