Upgrading to R9 270x , is it worth on my system ? and brand ?
My Build Specs -

My build -
Phenom ii x4 960T @ 3.7 with 6 cores
2 x Gtx 550 ti in SLI
8 GB G skill Ripjaws ddr3
Corsair TX 750w PSU
Cooler master HAF 912 advanced case
MSI 970a g46 sli/xfire Motherboard


One guy here in forums said that gtx 550 ti SLI is ahead in performance compared to R9 270x.
Is it true ? but all other benchmarks and HWcompare.com shows its way ahead of 550 ti.
Just want to confirm its rank.

Also i heard many people saying that Sapphire has good quality radeon gpus , is it true ? I can't believe @ such low cost that quality is comparable to even msi or gigabyte , these 2 are my favourites .Should i go with Sapphire ? it is 22$ cheaper than msi one. But my city doesn't has any sapphire RMA centre.

Sapphire is the biggest producer of AMD cards and a well renowned brand and as far as reliability every brand has the same warranty for that.
I hope this helps.

I am not asking if some brand's model is fatter or overclocked ; I was asking for reliability , good quality and good lifetime without any problems. As you can see I have a decent power supply and I don't think any problems would be there. Is sapphire that reliable with good quality ??

The R9 270x is faster than those two cards combined, maybe by around 20 percent. It also has a big advantage being a single card rather than having to deal with the problem there are with SLI and crossfire so its definitely worth it you can go for any brand all brands are more or less have similar performance the fastest would be sapphire tri x.
