^^^ there could have been a 1~2 instances where nvidia gain performance due to specific game but overall its not possible

So I wanted to buy a new GPU, upgrading from Sapphire 7770 1GB. My budget is 18k, I had my eyes on R9 270x. I can only see the MSI versions in the market as of now. How good is that? Here are my specs AMD fx 8350, 8GB RAM, Seasonic 520 W SII PSU. If there is something better then do suggest.

And will buying this *amzn.to/18DRIDp ASUS version at 17.5k a good deal(importing from the US)?
Thanks.

There is no international warranty for Asus.So its better to buy here like Aus R9 270X 2GB OC -16500. If you can take the risk of importing the GPU from US its your wish.

Is MSI good enough? Never used a MSI product so have no idea about it. And where can I buy the Asus 270x 2GB OC @16,500 in Delhi? I've called a few people and they only have MSI models at ~18k.

Nowadays MSI RMA in India is not good at all and GPU's mostly go into RMA more than other components.So its better to opt for brands like Asus,Sapphire. In the case of Sapphire the company is offering 2 years warranty where as some say the distributor is offering 3 years warranty. Its your choice to go for which brand.The link for Both the brands are:
Asus: Buy Online Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB DDR5 ATI PCI E Graphics Card (R9270X-DC2-2GD5) in india
Sapphire: SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB DDR5 OC

Asus is more preferable though.

I was more inclined towards the ASUS one but I think I'll have to buy the Sapphire because of the size. And the MD Computer's link of the Sapphire model says that it is out of stock :/

if you can extend a bit, try to get gtx 760 locally .

Haha I've already extended by a bit from 15k to 18k.

 

[bssunilreddy]

You can get the Zotac GTX760 with stock cooler for 19k locally.

 

[rijinpk1]

Haha I've already extended by a bit from 15k to 18k.

then extend 1k-1.5k more, you will get much better performance.

Which one of R9 270x and GTX 760 is more-future proof?

And keeping in mind I have Seasonic 520W PSU. Is it good enough?

AMDFX 8350, CM Hyper 212, 1TB WD Black, 1 LG DVD RW, 8GB Kingston Hyper Blue.

 

[rijinpk1]

gtx 760 for sure if you can extend the budget furthermore
that psu is enough unless you go for heavy overclocking of your cpu.

 

[tanul.yahoo]

Thanks, I might get the 760 if I get it in below 20k range.

 

[topgear]

GTX 760 from Zotac may be available at 19k.

 

[kartikoli]

i think asus 270x @16.35k is a better choice also it goes very close to 760 and equals the performance of stock 7950

So, Opting a r9 290 wont be a good idea for me i think as many told Xfx cards ar not good enough to perform like Asus or Sapphire.

So Should I get Custom cooled version of r9 290x or should I get 290 and then CF after few months ?

with new drivers,performance of 760 is improved by a lot. i would go with 760 anyway.

if possible get custom cooled 290. you can even change it to 290x if you want and luck is with you. what is the resolution you play games at? i dont really think you may need a CF.

Guys I have a ASUS GTX660Ti Top
My processor is Core2Quad 2.4GhZ

Many members of TDF suggested the GPU being bottlenecked
This is the memory and usage while playing Sleeping Dogs at default settings.
I think this is solid evidence of bottleneck ?
Can i try overclocking CPU to solve this ?
Or should i get a new CPU ?
