R9 270x 2GB VS GTX 960 2 GB

[Ricardo Cancino]

Hi everybody, I'm looking for some advice to upgrade my GPU, I find a good deal here in Mexico for GPU's that I can afford:

The Gigabyte R9 270x Windforce 3X 2 GB for $224.00 Dlls.

and the Gigabyte GTX 960 2GB for $240.00 Dlls.

I have been reading that the 960 is slightly better than the 270x, I'm planning on playing only at 1920x1080 max. I will like to keep it stock, no overclooking, maybe later.

wich one will you recomend?

also I want to know if my current pc will be able to handle any of those GPUs

My specs are:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU : AMD FX-6300 3.5 Ghz
RAM: 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 669MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-78LMT-USB3 (Socket M2) 34 °C
Graphics: SONY TV *01 (1920x1080@60Hz): AMD Radeon R7 250 2 GB Sapphire
Storage:1 TB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 ATA Device (SATA)
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 with two 95mm Cooling fans
PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 550W

Thanks in advantage

If you can swing the 960, I would go with that to get a little more horsepower under the hood. If not, the 270 will be almost as good. Your system will be fine for either card.

960 competes more with AMD 280 series. If you can afford it go for 960.
