The R9 270 has the best price/performance ratio. But the other cards are more powerful and like what, around only $30-50 more expensive. I have the R9 270 and I can tell you that for the $165 I paid for it, I can play most games on Ultra preset.

Well right now. 760s are cheap.

So 760! 

The cheapest 760 is $220 on Newegg and the cheapest 280 is $210.

1080P. In BF4 (Ultra Preset) I get an average of 45FPs. If I turn off AA and Ambient Occlusion, It jumps to around 50-70. Not to mention that my card stays at 56C max while playing BF4 (MSI Twin Frozr version).

Well I've seen 770s for sale for less than what a 760 would have cost a month ago, so right now I'd say that.

 

For the record it's £198, which is $321.56. Might not seem good value but welcome to Europe :P

 

The 760s are now £143, which is less than the 750 Ti used to be, and the R9 270 is like £111... So I don't know. The 970 and 980 release have completely screwed my frames of reference

No, with MIR, it's also $210. And you get Shadowplay and the Nvidia Sheild. 

Yes, but 280's have better MIR's

definitely try to find a 770, I've seen them run around 250 right now. It will be much faster than anything else on this list.

760 works with 1080p at High to ultra.

It's quite obvious sir.

Sadly I don't have more than $240 right now, unless I want to wait another month to get more money.

Go with the gigabyte R9 280 WF http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J41A5GK. It's the best price to performance ratio card out right now that is in your budget.

 

I've owned both a GTX 760 and 7950 (R9 280). The R9 280 will perform better. The only reason to consider the 760 are if you have the little Shield thing to stream games from. Otherwise, it's not worth it.

270 and 280 have nearly identical price to performance... And the highest on the market at that... Also Consider the 285 :P
