R9 270x vs GTX 760 ~ GPU-Z Screenshot

I've marked the difference. Why R9 270x has no "boost" section but there is "shaders" and that too grayed out? I know CUDA and Physx are Nvidia terms, isn't open CL an AMD term? PCI-e is backward compatible, that's ok..

Solely depends on the manufacturer who made the R9 you have. The HIS IceQ X2 R9 270x comes with a Boost clock of 1050.

Ok, I'm not gonna believe in the "spec comparing" GPU Boss website. And I'm not comparing those two for buying/upgrading. My question is that R9 270x doesn't have any boost clock?

I never said it wasnt important, I said the GTX 760 is "Better Overall" the boost also helps in gaming.

Both cards are great, but look at the more important stuff. The GTX 760 has higher clock, higher memory, more texture fillrate, and is just better overall. The R9 270x however supports mantle and is great for gaming as well.
