Grab the R9 270x or keep the 650 ti boost?

[magneezo]

The 270x looks to be a killer card and though its a rebranded 7870 I am quite impressed with its power and abilities. It pretty much wipes the floor on the 650 ti boost unless drivers can push more out of the 650. Wanting advice before I pull the 650 and exchange it. Thx!

A 650 Ti Boost is decent at the moment imo so I wouldn't worry too much.
How much were you thinking of spending?

Perhaps the $65 difference. Not much more. (paid $165 for 650tiboost R270x is $229)

That's not really much of an upgrade, you should probably wait and buy something that's more than just one step up in the future. The 650ti boost has comparable performance to the next gen consoles, so it should be good for a while.
