For his budget, would you recommend a gtx 970? If he could extend his budget a little than I'd definitely recommend waiting a little and getting a gtx 960 ,but in13k I think it's best for him to go with r9 270
Need a desktop for gaming under 40k

270/270x is faster than 750Ti and for now, the best in 13-15k range. Just because you are not satisfied, doesnt mean others wont be. Also a 960 would be 6k over OP's current budget.

What's the problem with it? What other card will you suggest in 12-15k range?

do you use 270x? do you even play games? what i am trying to say is @op u are willing to spend 15k max on gpu so i said instead of buying 15k gpu that is very bad for current and fututre games. i suggest extend 2k buy zotac gtx 960 for 17k locally. i will say again do not buy r9 270x now in jan 2015.

If he could extend his budget to that extent, than I think he'd have mentioned it, and yes I'm agreed with you that 960 is better than r9 270x but I think even at 17k it's overpriced, if op can wait and don't mind playing counter strike for 2-3 months than I'd suggest him to wait for gtx 960's price to drop and buy one when it's affordable / properly priced or he can look at 2nd hand options

Can you please share with us why exactly are you favouring 960 above R9 270x?Did you face any problems/issues with this particular card?If yes,please let us know what they are so that others can benefit from your experience.Why do you consider it to be a bad choice for current and future games?I've also been planning to buy the 960,but have been somewhat dissuaded by many factors,including its lower Vram(as opposed to >3 gb vram that is found on certain amd cards at the same price point)and its steep pricing.Do you think buying a 2gb 960 gpu for 18k will be worthwhile,when certain vendors like asus,sapphire etc are offering R9 270/280s for almost the same price with as much as 4 gb vram?

r9 270x is simply not enough for current and future games. i am using it i know what i am saying let @op buy 270x 2gb or 4gb version and i am sure he will be disappointed. now gtx 960 is a good card and yes its overpriced a lot but its perfect for 1080p gaming. also i believe its better to get r9 285 instead of gtx 960 giving current prices.

Btw prices of 960 might sky dive in next 4-5 months giving the use of 128 bit bus and release of Caribbean island gpu by amd. My guess would be 12-13k for 960

IT.WONT.EVER.GO.THAT.LOW.
770 is still ~25k after release of 290 and 970, and you expect 960 to go down to 12-13? Thats impossible. Also can a 270 even utilize 4GB VRAM? And HE-MAN, you still haven't made anything clear about why you don't want the OP to buy 270/270x. You just said its simply not enough. In my side, a 560Ti, being wayyyyy old than 270 coupled with a C2Q which is also wayyyyy old than i5 can max out Crysis 3 @900p. So I am pretty much sure that a 270x coupled with i5 can handle games pretty well, current and upcoming both. If you are facing problems with 'your' 270/270x, do open a thread regarding them and also compare with people owning the same rig as your in this and other forums.

in short what i want to say is current gaming trend and some future games, and giving that @op will buy now i will suggest gtx 960 or r9 280x. Regarding R9 270X is a good card and yes it will handle games well for this year and may be next year. So @op depends on you what you want new card or a rebranded card which is on different architect then the card in R9 series.
My two cents buy gtx 960 if you have a budget or r9 280x. if not buy r9 270x 2gb version not the 4gb version that is useless. it will provide decent gaming and you will be able to max some new games at 1080p at 30fps.

man idk what problems you are running into but TH's review of 270x had COD Ghosts reaching 67 fps at high @67fps. I'd suggest you to compare performance of your rig with others (with the same rig)

i said max settings not high.

if you get ~69 on high, you will get 45-50 on ultra, no way the fps will drop to 50%
