GTX 760 vs AMD R9 280

Just wanted to know which gpu would be better for mainly games like Rust and DayZ and League of Legends, but sometimes BF3 or Minecraft or Gary's Mid and games like that.

Have you looked at any reviews that show performance between the cards? That should make it pretty easy on what to get.

The R9 280 is rebranded HD7950. Get the 280. Its faster then the 760 by about 10fps in nearly all titles.

If you overclock the 280, you can take it into 280x territory.

AMD all the way. R9 280 is the way compared to GTX 760. Much better performances in every game and benchmarks. + it has Mantle support

The AMD "equivalent" of the 760 is the 270x.
The 280x is better compared to the 770.

That's performance, anyways. If you're comparing price brackets... the 280x is just barely more than the 760, so it's a no brainer.

Can you suggest a make of the R9 280 as on Amazon there are lots of them and I need to find the best one under £200
