Which GPU should I upgrade too/Best perf.

Ok, So I have a gtx 750ti, And I have just gotten some money. Ive been looking On Webuy.com (Cex) And I have been presented with a few options, but Im unsure which will provide me with the biggest boost in performance. 

Can somebody list them in performance? Will they all be better than my current/Which ones are worse. 

The order:

GTX 680 - £70

GTX 760 - £65

R9 270x - £65

Radeon HD 7850 - £60 

 

Thanks :)

gtx 680 would be the best out of your list. 

Second best? Might not be able to stretch budget.

gtx 760, but the rx270x has better support, get the gtx 680, negotiate the price.

This might be above your budget, but look at an Rx460, itll far outperform those cards at only a slight increase in price, save your money, those cards are not worth it especially since they don't support DX12 natively. I got an RX 460 for $100 USD for the Sapphire Nitro OC 4Gb. Im unsure of UK pricing, but you should be able to get a 4GB RX 460 well under 100 £

They said the £70 of the 680 is stretching their budget, so I doubt that's a good option for OP

That is true, but waiting a few weeks for an enjoyable experience is much better than feeling like you wasted money on a sub optimal gaming experience. A 460 is going to give you a solid 60fps in AAA titles at medium-high settings while those cards will struggle to maintain that - and the 460 is quiet, so my advice would still be to wait to be able to get something you will enjoy and not want to upgrade for as long (and the 460 has twice as much VRAM as the other cards)

I'd put the 680 roughly around the 380 in performance, which is definitely ahead of the 460

it'll far underperform those cards at a 30-50% price INCREASE

Nah while the 760 was a lot stronger than the 270x when the 270x launched, the 270x closed the gap with the 760 and went beyond it a couple of years ago. Here's techpowerup's benchmarks from their R9 380x review in November 2015.

 

perfrel_1920_1080.png

 

With techpowerup putting the 770 about 5% above the 680 at launch (just a rebrand with higher clocks) we could infer the 680 should be around 77% in this graph. I don't think it's unreasonable that the 270x might have made up that ~3% difference in the last two years with how lousy Nvidia's driver optimization has been for Kepler.

 

I'd personally want the 270x as my top choice. It's probably the same or better performance wise by now than the 680, it's a year and a half newer, and it uses a lot less power. Plus the GTX 680 was once a straight enthusiast card, the king of the hill. As such I imagine a 680 would be pushed harder than a 270x on average, considering people who buy halo cards like that tend to like to overclock the hell out of them too.
