Should I buy the Radeon R9 270X or the Radeon HD 7950? $170-220 budget.

[Ev1l]

Replacing my EVGA GTX 650 SC 2GB with something a bit stronger. I'm stuck deciding between the Radeon R9 270X and the Radeon HD 7950.

I currently use a 1360 x 768 resolution monitor.

The cards I am deciding between are:

The Club 3D Radeon HD 7950 Royalking.- $219

and the

The Club 3D Radeon R9 270X, - $219

I currently have a budget of approximately $170-220.

I'm looking for a video card that can run games such as BF 3,4 and etc, at about 60 fps or above at high / ultra settings.

Which card do you guys think will be the better pick? and which card would you guys recommend that I should buy?

either card is overkill at that res. make a choice. want the new attributes the new card has buy that one. if not buy the 7950. i think the 7950 is faster?.......................

Just a Edit, I will be upgrading to a 1920 x 1080p monitor in a couple of months. 120hz.

Reason I'm switching out the 650 for something a little better.

7950 is the faster card. Seeing as there is no money to be saved by going with the 270x, Getty the 7950.

Alright, thanks for the fast response.

 

[swifty_morgan]

what did the last guy say that I didn't?

 

[Ev1l]

Eh, both your answer an his answer were basically the same, so thanks for the fast response's.

How much fps do you think i'll be able to get outa the 7950 on ultra on BF4 once I get the new 1080p monitor?


3 AM right now, researching last min as I'm purchasing the new video card tomorrow.
