the 270x does a lot more for a little price premium. I am a nvidia fan boy but between the 270x and the 750ti, i would choose 270x

I had seen a video recently (last night) concerning PSUs by a guy with an OC'd single GPU rig. He was using a 500W 80+Gold, and while I still think a higher wattage would be helpful when doing a lot of gaming, 500W would do you just fine. NewEgg has several 5-600W PSUs 80+Gold starting at $60 USD.

For an AMD GPU, the R9 270/270X should be just fine. My R7 260X works very well for the games that I run on a QHD monitor. (Don't care about actual FPS, but with the Omega driver, hasn't had any stuttering in Skyrim at max■) If you do go AMD, The R9 270X (and my R7 260X) will have FreeSync on the next driver release.

[Correction: Skyrim settings are on High with AA/AF tweaked, options enabled and some sliders set to about 80%]

what fps are you getting running a 270x at qhd?

what fps are you getting running a 270x at qhd?

As I said, I don't care much about the FPS, just that there isn't any noticeable, to me, stuttering, but I did just install Skyrim Performance Monitor from Nexus, and ran from the top of a cleared Inalta's Tower up to and through a just discovered Brittleshin Pass. (Killed everything, though there wasn't much, and looted most.)

Asus R7 260X Factory OC: (max/min/avg)
FPS: 60/18/54 - The Realistic flames mod on the scene break is a killer. Actual gameplay saw a min of 48
GPU%: 100/1/66
GPU C: 83/61/78
vRAM: 1306/249/1163

CPU%: 18/1/9 - i7 - 4770S (yes, the 65W SKU)

Skyrim HD - 2K Textures (mods and 3 HighResTexturePackxx plugins)

Monitor: AOC Q2770PQU (Was a shell-shocker for just under $500, while there were some quirks with the DP connection, the Omega driver has smoothed those out)

PS: The R7 is going into my next build, eventually

And when I said on Max, I was wrong, I hadn't been in the options in a long time:
AA:4x
AF:16x
Texture & Radial Blur: Meximum
Item Fade distance is max
Everything else set to High or is checked

Gonna see what this looks like at Ultra everything (There was significant pauses and stutters at ultra, mostly in the wide open outdoors, but some in Inalta and Brittleshins. Going back to High, and increase some sliders to what they were.)

270/270x or an R7 265. From Nvidia, the gtx 750 Ti

Budget for gpu and psu?

What if i get a gtx 760 instead with a 550w psu? Is the gtx 760 worth buying now? Note: In my country the r9 270x,gtx760 costs about the same but the gtx 750ti has a very less price. But i have the money to buy gtx 760 so should i buy it or is there any alternative which is available in india? Also please keep in mind that the gpu has to be compaitable with my curent specs. Thanks

This is the cheapest and lowest power PSU I'd use with a 270X. http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-eco-500-watts-psu/p/itmddqq8dzqzkzdy?pid=PSUDDQPPZZYAGRWT&srno=b_2&ref=52b29929-8ca0-446f-9bca-1c5004b6cdbf at 3800Rs. If you used a GTX750ti or GTX960 instead, you could use this http://www.flipkart.com/antec-vp450p-450-watts-psu/p/itmda3ncpuga3hpu?pid=PSUDA3NCT4Z4SKKR&srno=b_1&ref=0881e476-7b33-4d5d-ae0f-a80c8c5569f2 instead for 2650Rs

This is a good 750ti http://www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-nvidia-gtx-750-ti-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itme5e3uyfqgbtuk?pid=GRCE5E3SK53E6FHX&srno=b_42&ref=bc9ef6d1-2034-4ac6-b314-615850034f12 at 11375 Rs

This is the cheapest 270X http://www.flipkart.com/xfx-amd-ati-r9-270x-2-gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdsgmywymggbem?pid=GRCDSGMYWYMGGBEM&srno=b_27&ref=204f4b42-f032-4652-8fb4-11fb4da65346 at 15790 Rs.

But this http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-geforce-gtx-960-2-gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itme44qbdszr6e9h?pid=GRCE44Q9JFXH6ZPU&srno=b_19&ref=516d71ae-ffc3-4a20-81fb-55b6143053b8 is only 17717 Rs.

A 500w PSU is enough for almost all single GPU cards. Don't worry about having problems; it is enough. Also, its not worth geting a GTX 760 when you could get the newer 960. I would say to just stick with an R9 270 and the 500w PSU. You'll be fine.
