R9 270X vs GTX 760

[tjokrohw]

Some people say GTX 760 is better than R9 270X but some of my friends say R9 270X is better in some point.
(R9 270X has mantle tech)

So which one is better?
Is the difference big?

760 is better because it has better performance by about 5-10 frames in games. I personally love my 270x. It depends if you want to go with team red or team green. I would only get the 760 if it is $20-25 more at most, otherwise I'd stick to the 270x

The GTX760 is consirably faster.

Unfortunately right now there is no AMD card that directly competes with the GTX760.

13% on average.

The difference overall is not large, but the 760 is the better card. Mantle is not out yet and won't be implemented in many games when it actually does come out. Nvidia has better software and overall is less hassle, they just deliver for the most part. Each company has their own tech. AMD has better multimonitor and future mantle, while nvidia has gsync, physx and shadowplay. Each has more features but those are major ones.

Well can R9 270X handle all recent games at Ultra sets? (COD, BF4, FAR CRY3, BIOSHOCK INFINITE, etc)?
Are you satisfied with R9?

 

[woltej1]

At 1080p it will handle the demanding games at high and should max the rest. You need the 280x or 770 to max any games at 1080p. If you are running less than 1080p then a 270x will max it.

On Battlefield 4 i get more than 60 frames on ultra 1080p with vsync off and anti-aliasing deferred off, about 50-60 fps on max settings Bioshock Infinite 1080p. Not sure about Far Cry 3 and CoD

 

[tjokrohw]

If so.. Will GTX 760 maxed out any recent games?

 

[woltej1]

At 1080p the 760 will max out the majority of games and even the demanding ones with AA off. Only a few games will require high settings. If you game on anything less than 1080p then the 760 will max it no problem.

Should I get the R9 270X or 760 then if I want to get maxed settings in almost all recent games?

 

[woltej1]

I'd go with the 760, nvidia made better products this generation.

Is there any news of upcoming AMD cards that can compete with 760 in price range and power?

That's what the 270x is suppose to do is compete at that price. There were some rumors of a 280 non x being made but I think that's dead in the water.
