The 760 has more performance needed to run compared to a 270x.

The main point I was disagreeing with was the 750Ti bottlenecking, and calling it severe. It will be a very marginal loss.


Well, at stock speeds it *did* severely bottleneck my GTX 750 Ti in many games. Warframe went from 30-40 fps on my Phenom II to 90+ fps on my current CPU. Guild Wars 2 jumped from 20-30 fps to 50+ fps. Dragon Age went from 45+ fps to 150+ fps. Minecraft went from 30+ fps to 200+ fps. Borderlands 2 went from 20-40 fps up to 60-70 fps.

Im going to have to disagree here.
I have a 965, which is only marginally better compared to the 955 and I can run a 760 with zero bottleneck at 3.8-4GHz.
A modest OC to around the same speeds, or around 3.7 should alleviate any bottlenecks with the 270x as its just behind the 760 in performance.

Even if there was a bottleneck, it would only be 2-5FPS loss at most. Its a very very small bottleneck. The Phenom II lineup is still holding its own years after launch.


Not sure why you're disagreeing... I said he might get rid of the bottleneck in most games with an OC, and you apparently confirmed the same thing. I was clearly talking about stock speeds.

There will be a bottleneck. I used to have the same CPU, and it bottlenecked by GTX 750 Ti severely in some games. Since the R9 270X is stronger, its performance will be held back even more.

Depending on your motherboard, with an aftermarket cooler you may be able to OC the Phenom II 955 enough to minimize the bottleneck in most games.
