Did i make a mistake and choose a bad GPU? I got a 4GB AMD sapphire radeon r9 270x that is overlclockable versus i could have gotten a GTX Geforce 960. Is my GPU better than this one and the GTX GeForce 750ti? Or no?

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

R9 270X is better than a 750 Ti but the 960 beats the 270X.

Honestly at the same price of a 960, you can get a R9 280X which is better and has more VRAM.

But the R9 270X is a good GPU, it's fine for 1080P. I have my 270X on GTA 5 with 30-60FPS on High/Very High settings with my 8320.

From worse < better:

750 Ti < 270x < 960

It may be slightly worse than the 960 and I wouldn't recommend a 4GB 270X.. (because it most of the time wont utilize all 4gigs), but the 270X is usually better than the 750 Ti.

The 4GB might be nice in a few years, but by that time the GPU might be outdated too :P

 

But not a terrible choice (but usually you can get 280X cards for the price of 4GB 270X cards)
