Changing an r9 270x

[daddy91]

So hey,

 

I decided to change my Gigabyte R9 270X for a faster one.

So i was looking at these new nvidia cards but im not a big fan of them then i was looking at the r9 290 (there isnt a big difference in games between the x and the non-x so i dont need the x version cause its more pricey) and i dont know which card should i get. 

As i said im not a big fan of nvidia but can you recommend me any REALLY good video card which has the best performance/price ratio in the market atm and its price is around $450? I live in the EU so it would be better to get it in £ (~275£) or € (~350€).

 

If you can recommend me a cheaper one then its fine but i'd like to take a better upgrade then i did before between the gtx 660ti and the r9 270x so i dont need to change my card after a year again because it just cant handle some games the way i want too (dead rising 3 for example and gta v and other games are coming out so i need a stronger card)

 

 

 

Thanks bros.

This is in your budget  http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-04gp40972kr

If you want a 290 dont even get one.  Just get another 270x for less money.  Youll have pretty similar performance.  

 

 

That being said a 970 is in your budget, and would poop on your 270x.  Itd be a ton less power than 2 270x's aswell.

if i get an other 270x most likely i have to get an other psu too cause ive got an fsp hexa 500w which is cool but it would not handle 2 video card sadly

 

 

how much better this gtx 970 is? there isnt much benchmark about that

if you cannot handle 2 270x's a single 290 might be a push.

r9 290 is using ~300w 

 

2× 270x = ~360w

 

im using an i5 4690k ~80w or even less 

 

500w psu 

 

so basicly an 290 would be fine but i dont like to change my psu if i dont need too 

 

 

so you guys recommend me to get the new gtx 970? anyway will be there any new amd card which can compete with that gtx 970?

 

thanks for the answers anyway
