Which GPU is better

[Yc0540]

There is a lot of mixed benchmarks around the internet but I just want your guys opinion. I just want to know if the R9 270X or the HD 7950 because I can get them both for about £90 which is around $120

I like the 7950 , by a little bit.

The R9 270X is basically a resurfaced 7870. As Blackbird said, the 7950 is a little better.

Article from Tom's about the R9 270x just being a facelift: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-280x-r9-270x-r7-260x,3635.html

The real term is re-badged 7870.

I'll be sure to get my terminology right next time 😉

...the devil's in the details.

Those 2 cards are so close , I would just go with the cheaper one.

I will get the 7950 because of more VRAM, thanks a lot for all the help guys
