r9 270x or rx 460 2gb

[chaning]

hello everyone
i wanted to upgrade from r7 260x to one of these graphic cards
desired res is 1080 and nothing higher
lower is accepted for 60fps
games i play are dx11 and dx12
i think in dx11 gtx 660 ti and 760 are close and better than r9 270x
and in dx12 r9 270x is better than 760 but i dont know if 660 ti peforms like 760 in dx12 (like it did in dx11)
r9 270x and gtx 660 ti are the same price where i live nothing interesting is is this price
rx 460 2gb is but its worst than those cards if im not wrong ??!!! guys i find a well priced (second hand) rx 460 2gb is it good? better than r9 ?
anddddd right now gtx 660 ti is available if you think r9 is better ( i think ) i have to wait to find one
i5 2400
12gb ram
580w psu
thanks

i bought the rx 460 2gb and now im sure r9 270x is faster and more powerfull

the 270 is more modern but really not much between them https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/R9_270X_Gaming/24.html

Agreed - the performance difference between the 660Ti and the R9 270x is slight, and will vary from one game to another, but overall, they're about equal.

If the prices are the same, and the 660Ti is the only one available, I'd say go for it. The 660Ti also has the advantage of using a little less power (150W) than the R9 270x (180W)

I know that there are some variants of the 660Ti that have 3GB. If you can get one of these, that might be better if the price is about the same.

how about dx12 ? will gtx 660 ti perfom like r9 270x in dx12 games ?

I would guess that the R9 270x would have an edge, most likely. It would be best to research performance benchmarks of those two cards. Still, it may only be a difference of a few fps.

like our friend said they are close in dx11
there is no dx12 benchmark for cards like 660 ti but there are some gtx 760s benchs
if 660 ti and 760 are close in dx11 they could be close in dx 12 ?!!

The 660 Ti has the edge based upon the 18 game test suite average over at techpowerup

The 270x was not a well reviewed board

hello again people
i just find a rx 460 2gb for the same price i just dont know if its better than those two card in games ?!!
i dont care about the power consumption just fps matters 😀

Should be in about the same ballpark. Again, if there's a difference, it's probably not going to be by much, and will likely vary a little, better in some games, worse than others.
