Sapphire r9 270X Toxic Boost vs. EVGA GTX 950 FTW. FIGHT!

[BlackXbonE]

which one to go with? 

 

cpu is an FX 6300 @ 4 GHZ.

for the games: skyrim, minecraft; eventually something DarkSouls3 and WoW will be played in future.

 

Price is about the same.

[PlayStation 2]

270X.

GTX 950, newer, faster, can be overclocked better, less noise/power consumption. Also, WoW runs pretty poorly on FX CPU's so don't expect a huge improvement in that game.

From what I can see the 950 just edges ahead

[007agentHP]

270x

[Bogica]

They are somewhat equal but the 950 has a lot more FPS in WoW so I would go for the 950.

 

More reasons to consider the 950:
-Draws less power

-Overclocks better

950 but if it was 960 vs 380 then 380!

This is what GPUBoss says.. but actually 270x price is nearly the same as the 950 one's here. 

Since its not sure if WoW will be played (nvidia works so much better on it, i know), i am more likely going to choose the 270X

GPUBoss is crap but the 950's DX12 performance is worse crap. 270X should be a safer option to go with, not to mention run cooler and quieter. people will lynch me but the Sapphire Tr-X cooler is far superior to any 950 cooler.

According to PcPartPicker the 270X TRI-X TOXIC costs 199 USD

this GPU is cheaper atleast in the states. If it costs around the same as the 270X where you live, BUY IT. This GPU is wastly superior to the 270X
