upgrade hd 7770

[substance26josh]

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my current GPU (HD 7770) have been looking at R9 270X 2GB,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Toxic-1100MHz-Express-Graphics/dp/B00FOQZZ6Y/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

But not sure if this is a worthwhile upgrade i would like to keep it for a year or two,

Also not sure what NVIDIA has for sale in a similar range?

PC Spec as follows:

RAM: G.Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V
CPU: Intel Core i5 3470 3.20GHz Socket 1155 6MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Socket 1155 VGA DVI HDMI 8 Channel Audio mATX Motherboard
GPU: Sapphire HD 7770 1GB GDDR5 DVI HDMI Dual Mini DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
PSU: Corsair CX 430W Fully Wired 80+ Bronze Power Supply

Thanks,

Nvidia has the GTX 760, which is better then the R9 270X, though a little more expensive it may work out best. If you can get the GTX 760, get it, a great card by Nvidia! And the difference from a 7770 and GTX 760/R9 270X is huge, defiantly worth the upgrade.

OK Thanks,

Would you say there's any difference between these two just one is slightly more expensive than the other?

the Asus has the better cooler and is quieter, get the Asus.

I has direct contact with the GPU offering best cooling.

You could also get the R9 280, which is a rebadged 7950 and faster than both cards. Only a little bit more expensive than the 760 too.
