Help with GPU pro/con between these two for my system

like the post says! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%204017%20600007782%20600286741%20600007787%20600007818%20600374082%20600474278%20600497128%20600031507%20600029797%20600029796%204027%204115%204114&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=48%7C14-487-024%5E14-487-024-TS%2C14-150-686%5E14-150-686-04%23&percm=14-487-024%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24%3B14-150-686%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24

Windows 7 Ult 64 bit
AMD Phenom II X4 denab 3.0GHz
8Gb RAM
750 watt PSU
Asrock 970 extreme 3

I'll be getting RAM and a new CPU eventually too so I'm good on that advice.

get the r9 270 not 270x, your paying over 40$ for an overclock you can do yourself in 1min.

Pros 270= Cheaper, Faster than the 750ti,
Cons= Higher TDP, doesnt have phyx

 

[okcnaline]

The R9 is better, but of course, with worse TDW.

 

[Kyle Lanning]

TDW?

 

[Kyle Lanning]

the 270x is only 149. I always appreciate everyone's help on here, but could I have a little more detail about why which one is better? Forget the money aspect of those two and just go on specs and go as in depth as you would like.

 

[Kyle Lanning]

Also thanks for showing me NCIXUS.com! Cool!

is 149 after rebates so your not actually paying 149$, never trust rebates, is hit or miss most of the time.
here are some benchmarks for both,

http://anandtech.com/bench/product/1080?vs=1130

the 270 is faster due to the fact that its specs are superior is every category, bandwidth, Pixel Fillrate, Bus width

 

[Kyle Lanning]

I've always had great luck with rebates. Also I may not be buying it myself. So again, please, nerd out on the performance of the both of them to me

 

[Kyle Lanning]

Plus it's hard to find a place to compare benchmarks for the two because the 750ti is superclocked

 

[Kyle Lanning]

I totally trust the advice I get on here I just like lots of info

here is as in depth as it can get

http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=2073&gid2=1985&compare=geforce-gtx-750-ti-evga-superclocked-2gb-edition-vs-radeon-r9-270x-xfx-double-d-black-edition

you can see the 270x got higher memory speed (1450 compared to 1350), twice the memory bus (256 compared to 128), more than twice the memory bandwidth (185.6 gb/sec vs 86.4 gb/sec), twice the spus (1280 vs 640), twice the tmu (80 vs 40), twice the ROP (32 vs 16).

the gtx 750 ti superclocked is only as fast as the 650 ti boost which is the amd counterpart of a hd 7850 - the r9 270x is a rebadge hd 7870 ghz edition which is a tier better than the 7850.

in terms of game performance the r9 270x provide you and average 10 FPS more in 1080p gaming compared to a gtx 750 ti superclocked.

(had a 650ti boost twin frozr and was playing nba 2k15 at all maxed out and features enabled and with 2x msaa and i was getting 40 fps so i changed to a r9 270x with the same settings i get 60+ fps)

a normal gtx 750 ti would be outperformed by a 650 ti boost twin frozr but the superclocked edition would certainly match it

Bookmarked that site too. Thank you so much for all the info guys!

 

[Raiin]

lol that site, Stream processors and Cuda Cores cant be compare, there 2 different things, apple and oranges, the same for the frequency, there both different architectures.

here is serious review
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7764/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-and-gtx-750-review-maxwell

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7503/the-amd-radeon-r9-270x-270-review-feat-asus-his

OP it doesnt matter if the 750ti is superclocked or not there the same card regardless, Nvidia Gpus have something called GPU boost that overclocks itself depending on Heat.

yeah i know the site has some unreliable data sometimes, but i'm pretty sure the 270x will be a lot better than a gtx 750ti no matter what version or how superclocked it is. also the about the 270 vs 270x comment - i agree on getting the 270 over the 270x and just overclock it to 1000 mhz core clock and you got yourself a 270x that is the only difference. (r9 270 = hd 7870 , r9 270x = 7870 ghz edition).

This is obviously a no brainer right?

 

[Sig2525]

the r9 280 is faster so yeah get the r9 280
