Gtx 760 or r9 270x for gaming?

[SGJguille]

Hi everybody! I'm new to the forums and I recently built my new PC, which has the following parts:

fx 8320 stock
m5a99x evo r2.0
8gb ram kingston 1333
sentey psu 850w 80+

and my question is the following:
Should i pick up an:

gtx 760 twin frozr

or

r9 270x toxic/vapor sapphire

Are this GPUs still powerful for upcoming games?

both those cards should be fine for 1080p for a while.

to correct whitesnake, the r9 280 is def better than the gtx 760.it's somwhere in between the gtx 760 and 770; the r9 720x and gtx 760 are pretty much on par
I had a gtx 7690 myself and I could run bf4 on ultra without AA, and most other games on high/ultra.

Do you think the r9 270x will be enough for the next 3 years, going down to medium quality if nessesary?

noone can say that, I'm guessing yes, but maybe to make sure, get something a bit more powerfull, an r9 280x is relatively cheap nowadays and will give you just that little extra

the 760 is better than the 270x. the 280 is about the same as the 760 but has more vram. the 760 will run slightly cooler than the 280.

how is the 280 about the same as the 760?
the r9 270x is about the same as the 760. or am I wrong here, from allt he benchmarks i've seen and from what I've seen ont he forum the r9 280 is somewhere in betweent he 760 and 770

depends on the game and what each card is clocked at. generally the 760 overclocks a little better so it will match the 280 but do this with lower temps and less power consumption. i personally would still rather have the 280.
