What Graphics card is better?

[Deleted]

Hey, Just looking to upgrade my Graphics card and my maximum budget is £170 no more at all.

These are the two cards i have been told to have a look at and i would like others opinions.

What card is best between these?

Just doing some quick research the R9 270X seems superior.

The 270x is the same chip as the 7950, which is roughly equal to if not better than the 660ti. So in this case the 270x is hands down better. Try to snag a 7950 though if you can, as the 3gb of Vram will be better for the future.

Also 270x will be supporting the upcoming mantle soon, which should improve performance with 10% or something.

The 270X is actually a 7870 with some changes. It does perform on par with the 7950.

I agree with your statement about the 7950. If you can pick one up for about the same price, I would pick a 7950.
