Yes it will. The 270 is faster, but it also costs more.

Yes, the 270 is fine for those games. Your APU is going to hold you back a bit though. Sadly, any decent upgrade will require a new motherboard as well.

So you reckon the 270 would play games like battle field call of duty, mine craft, and grand theft auto, ill be looking to play games of that description and without lag but i want good graphics like a ps4 or xbox one or as close to it, hope this helps abit more. What use think!?

I wouldn't bother downgrading your GPU but if you want to save money, why not purchase the HD 7850 for £70? It still beats the performance of the R7 260X, yet cheaper.

Any GPU will do the job, depends on what games you desire to run.

All the best. :) 


That is a pretty good deal.
