Looking for mid-tier graphics card

[Mars72]

I have the XFX R7-260X from here against the EVGA GTX 750 Ti from here in my eye of possible graphics cards.

Which is one is a better bang for my buck? I would be open to other candidates but won't exceed a budget of $200.

If it helps, I'm upgrading from an XFX Radeon HD 6570 2GB DDR3 card.

Here's a 270X that's well in your price range: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-2xDVI-Graphics-GV-R927XOC-2GD/dp/B00FONITCE/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1402699783&sr=1-6&keywords=graphics+card

^ Yes! ^ AMD dropped some prices recently. It is a good opportunity to get a nicer card for the same cost.

The AMD Radeon R9 270X graphics card is the best you'll get for $200 at the moment. In fact, it is already considered high-end, designed to compete with the more expensive NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 graphics card. Although, if you could save $60 more, I would highly recommend the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 graphics card over the AMD Radeon R9 270X graphics card.

Thank you very much. Do you have any experience with the card personally or from a friend?

I hear drivers for the R9 series are pretty trashy though

No personal experience with it honestly, although I do have more experience with AMD GPUs than NVIDIA GPUs. I'm really going off of the solid reviews of the card, as well as the good benchmarks for the price that it received.

Drivers are...a bit off at the moment, but I hear AMD is working on that. Folks also claim that the Beta drivers that are available now seem to work better, so we'll see I guess.
