im looking to upgrade my graphics card.

i have an Intel I5 4460 3.2GHz CPU, an existing R7 260X 2GB, 8GB DDR3 RAM, and im getting a 750W power supply. Question is, which card do i buy?

Im looking at the R9 280X 3GB or the GTX 960 4Gb.

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
280x is the better performing card. So I would buy it given the opportunity. I would also take a look at the 380x which is better than both.

nVidia usually runs cooler, draws less power, and has nicer driver utilities.

But ATI is usually cheaper.

I'd go for Green, but ultimately the choice is yours.
