R9 270 vs GTX 660

[prudhvirazz]

Which one should I choose for my new build? Prices difference is only 5$.

FX 6300
GA 970A D3P

I mostly play WOW. But I also play games like BF, FC etc. I have no requirement of ultra settings. I need to play at high settings at 1080p resolution.

Asus is my preferred brand.

As a Nvidia owner, I'd still buy the 270 in this case.

Thanks. It would be great if you can enlighten me on why 270 is better than 660? It will make my decision easier.

I am a Nvidia owner and I'm gonna switch to AMD unless Nvidia can make improvements fast in their drivers so as to beat the AMD ones.

Thanks, that was very helpful for me! Deciding between GTX 660 and R9 270 for a PC I'm building for a friend.
