R7 265 or the GTX 750 TI

[crex573]

Hey guys, should I go with the R7 265 or the GTX 750 TI? This is my build.

Case: Rosewill Galaxy-01 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147183
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970-DS3P

PSU: Corsair CX500

Processor: AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core

RAM: G.Skill Ares 8GB (2 x 4GB)

HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB

I will mainly be playing Tomb Raider and Killing Floor 2 with friends. In benchmarks it seems like the 265 has the edge over the 750 TI. But, from what I can see the 750 TI is more recommended. I'm just stuck between a rock and a hard place. They are within a $10 price difference on newer, so yeah. Please help!!!

yes, 265 is 20 to 30% faster

I agree the 265 is going to be faster but up to 30% isn't all that likely. Some of the higher clocked 750ti's with the external power connectors are nearly as fast as the GTX 570 which in my experience (owned them both) was directly comparable with the AMD 7850/r7 265.

If you look closely enough and hunt for a while most times you can find a r9 270 for about the same price as the cards you have listed while offering superior performance.

Just for example, please shop where is most affordable.
