which gpu to choose

i got sapphire r9 270x dual x 2gb and its still packed not yet open
now i have offer to get it exchanged with evga gtx 760 2gb so tell me should i keep sapphire r switch to evga 760 and plz just these 2 gpus as i already have 270x and i only have offer for evga gtx 760
keep in mind that the gtx 760 i will buy will might new but with no or international warranty which cant be claimed locally and also i have to pay difference for 760 so what you say guys?

keep the R9 270x, only take the 760 if you don't have to pay extra, the performance difference between these 2 cards isn't much (generally speaking), and the 760 comes with no warranty or anything.

the gtx 760 slightly out preforms the R9 270x and is a little more power efficient.

 

[kamransaeed15]

power efficiency is not the issue the main concern is reliability and performence

 

[Danbuscus25]

well, the gtx 760 is a tad faster, and from what i know very reliable. so do you have 2 R9 270x? or just 1?

 

[kamransaeed15]

i have just 1 brand new sapphire r9 270x dual x with full warranty in my hand not yet opened the box even

 

[lmaonade200]

performance is close with the 760 edging out a bit, but the problem is that both cards run the risk of malfunctioning, so I would take the one with a warranty over the one without.

 

[Danbuscus25]

yeah, keep yours cuz it has a warranty.

 

[kamransaeed15]

well i will check if i can get a 760 in local warranty
anyway just tell me how much perfformence difference between gigabyte r9 270x oc and sapphire r9 270x dual x ?as i am coming from gigabyte 270x but it was faulty so return it

 

[lmaonade200]

less than 2% difference, the only difference between those are the clock rates, and they usually differ by no more than 100Mhz or 0.1 Ghz, it's not much at all and they all perform about the same.

 

[Danbuscus25]

i have no idea which brand is better, i would go with the on with the higher clock speed.
