i'm kind of doing this question for a friend because she's kind of mad right now. So recently i swapped my asus gtx 970 to my brother's sapphire r9 270x 4gb. He is a little far, so while i waited his card, a friend lent me an evga gtx 960 2gb. she just keep saying to me that after using the 960 i would get used to it and wouldn't want the r9 270x that is going to feel slow and then i was going to say to her she was right and i did a bad move swapping cards with my brother. also i would beg her to keep her card and she would say no with a smile. but the truth is the r9 270x has better fps in most of my games and on high settings. this is really weird because on youtube every test said the gtx 960 is better (i was freaking out). Does it have anything to do that the r9 270x is 4gb while the gtx 960 is 2gb?
and i'm not complaining (i'm happy)

What kind of games were you running? Some games are more optimized for AMD, some for nVidia.
