Which one from this two cards is better? Will Mantle have impact on it? Gigabyte is about 30$ more expensive than MSI

NiCoM


The Windforce is running a Nvidia gpu, which tend to output less heat than its AMD counterpart, though it's also because of the massive cooler on the windforce, which isn't exactly a good thing because it could be more noisy,
The HAWK should run pretty silently, differences in heat aren't the most important thing on mid-end gpus since the difference tends to still be way lower than the max temp the card may reach (Nvidia 85 celcius, AMD 95 celcius).

So if you're not going to use Shadowplay, then i would just suggest the HAWK, if i should suggest anything else it...

as a standard the GTX 760 beats the R9 270X by a tiny bit. Though the HAWK vs the Windforce x3 would probaby even out the scores because of the high overclock on the HAWK card.

Strongly depends whether you want better performance in Thief, BF4 & more games to come (with Mantle), or want the ability to record everything you do in your games with a much smaller storage and performance impact compared to standard programs (with ShadowPlay). Because if you really want Shadowplay, then its worth paying $30 for.

But if you remove Mantle & Shadowplay from this, the R9 270X HAWK is the best at $30 less i would say. :)

But I read that on Windforce x3 are lower temperatures. I`m not interested in ShadowPlay. Maybe you recommend another GPU in similar price? Or MSI is the best pick?

So if you're not going to use Shadowplay, then i would just suggest the HAWK, if i should suggest anything else it would be a MSI GTX 770 if you want to spend a bit more, and a R9 270 (non-X) from ASUS or MSI which are almost the standard R9 270X (not HAWK) in performance at lower prices.

I would like to stay on level with GTX 760 and R9 270X. I can afford 300$ GPU, not more. But If I can spend less than it in the same performance, so why not. But I would like to know strict which I should take.

As I said, MSI r9 270x HAWK is about 30$ cheaper than for example Gigabyte GTX 760 OC. And I found on my local tech website that r9 270x is better than GTX 760

There is 10% different in performance not much and it seems like u are fond with r9 270x and i admit it has some nice features and can play mostly all games at good FPS
And by the way whats your budget.??

Well, if you have a 10% performance difference, and a 10% price difference, it's really up to what you want to pay.

And if you chose the GTX 760, then go for the MSI cooler.
