Which gpu is better for Gaming?

The GTX 760 beats the R9-270X in every game. The R9-270X performs similarly to the 7870, which is the gpu below the 7950, and the GTX 760 beats the 7950, so it should beat the R9-270X easily.

Have you looked at the EVGA SC gtx 760? Comes overclocked and with their ACX cooler

Don't grab that one. That one uses a reference cooler so it doesn't cool as well, in effect you won't be able to overclock as well. Look for the ones that have dual fans as they will cool much better. I believe there are no non-reference coolers that are all black like that. Asus cards are mostly black with some red stripes. EVGA coolers are more of a dark-gray color. MSI has some red on the top, but not a lot. Gigabyte is all black, but the fans are transparent.

I think Gigabyte is the best compromise for good cooling and black color cooler.

Since your overclocking id get the gigabyte with the 3 fans then. Youll want an non reference cooler on it

 

[The Q6660 Inside]

760 is the better choice. I love mine and it should handle most games on high without a problem. I like my ASUS DCUII 760, but what 760s are available in your area?

 

[exilestar]

Dont worry ill have 6 corsair AF 120 mm fans one under gpu SICK airflow case > coolerMaster n400 BEST BUY

 

[exilestar]

Gigabyte and msi.. I Dont like gigabyte but i know its better gigabyte 400 dolars msi 300 i like this one CUZ design i have white black pc build.

It doesn't matter how good your airflow is. The reference cooler on that MSI card you listed does not take advantage of airflow. It just takes in air and it releases all of the hot air out of the back of the card. The non-reference cooler takes advantage of airflow. So with the non-reference cooler, the better your airflow the cooler it runs. With the reference cooler, it will stay around the same temp despite how good/bad your airflow is.

Go for the MSI lol, a $100 difference is not worth it. If there are 7950s or 280Xs avaliable, please notify me.

xfx core 550w hold 760 sli

 

[realchaos]

No you want a quality 750w for SLI 760.

Ill take gtx760 reference

 

[marshal11]

The reference cooler will be absolutely fine on a GTX 760. Come on guys. This isn't the 780 ti we're talking about which does really well on a reference cooler as well. The 760 will be absolutely fine with the single fan cooling design, however you may want to set a custom fan profile in MSI afterburner because they're usually a little loud by default and it's unnecessary. Even on low fan speeds it will stay within very safe temperatures. The 760 doesn't exactly output very much heat.

My buddy has the MSI TF OC 760 and he hits 1250Mhz with his overclock, still runs about 70 degrees while gaming.

 

[exilestar]

So u think i can overclock reference version to 1150 mhz and still obtain normal temperatures while gaming? Ill have two corsair ventilators over gpu

Reference Im not sure about, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could.

 

[marshal11]

Well, I am 100% sure that you could push it to 1200Mhz if you get a decent card. Temp won't be a worry and if it is, apply your own paste. It's almost a guaranteed 5-10c drop in temp.

@marshal gtx 760 msi with reference cooler is THAT good? For temps and oc to 1150 mhz

Yes it's THAT good. There's absolutely nothing wrong with reference coolers. They work great. They can just be a little noisy sometimes. Just set a custom fan profile and keep the temps under 95c.

Will it throthle? And Will i loose fps?

You can set a temperature target so it won't throttle.
