Getting a GTX 750Ti.. any good AMD equivalent?

[krusha03]

I have a Fx6300 (still at stock) and a 600w PSU..

Think thats enough?

With your board, i wouldn't try overclocking. I put custom heatsinks on mine and ram fan blowing on them get this overclock. I am not familiar with aerocool and their PSU quality but I run my 6300 @ 4.3Ghz + 7950 with a Corsair CX500M without any issues. Finally are you in the US and what is your budget for a GPU?

nope not in the US .. in the philippines.. also planning to buy the ASUS Crosshair V Formula..

looking for $100-$150 but import tax is extreme here.. $100 goes for around $200 (about Php11k) here.. :/

Already looking at EVGA's GTX 750 TI FTW and Sappphire's Vapor Dual X R9- 270X..

I also dont find it fair comparing a 270x to a gtx 750 ti since I dont really think they're the same class.. looking at the specs it seems to fit a 760 or higher than a 750~

Get the Sapphire Vapor Dual X R9 270X if the prices are similar you'll get more performance

If those 2 are the same price get the 270X, that's a no brainer. Wrt to the motherboard, the asus crosshair V is really the top of the top end so you will greatly overpay for it. If i where you I would look into gigabyte 970 motherboards with 8+2 phase vrms such as Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P. Here in europe its a 3rd of the price of the ASUS. The cash saved you can put into better gpu, ssd or just don't spend it at all

The R9 270X is clearly the better performer if the prices are similar. I don't know if this is even a consideration to you but the GTX 750Ti doesn't support SLI whereas the R9 270X does support CrossFire.

If I may offer some advice, Not on the Comparison side i.e. Nvidia VS AMD, but instead on the build side. I Recently built a New Intel based Gaming PC for My nephew, and did it for around $450 USD with VERY respectable spec's. I ended up Saving a TON of cash on a Diamond Multimedia 7870Ghz edition through Ebay.....Usually I steer FAR clear of Ebay for Anything Component wise, simply due to experience, But I happen to know for a fact that Diamond Multimedia is/was purging SOME of they're inventory on Ebay, which translates into Brand new IN BOX Components for really good prices. I got My nephews 7870 Ghz(2GB) for $99USD with free shipping, and out of the 20 or so that were sold ALL feedback was the same as mine, Perfect condition, Still factory sealed , and in perfect working order. That being said, I happened to notice that they were selling a 270x (2GB) version) for $169USD free shipping, I DO see that on Newegg they are selling for CLOSE to that, but only after rebate etc. If You find the offer to be a viable choice for Your needs, I would recommend them as a seller from personal experience, and You could also read the comments from other buyers. I didn't see Your location, but if Your in the US, I'd give it some thought, IF your still looking.Hope that helps You out....Good luck.

The cooler on the card I'm speaking of is the Dual dissepation type, which From MY experience Works VERY well, I'll include the link to the Posting if You DO decide to look into it.. They are selling 10 or so ALL of which are identical in Condition, and make/Model. And as a side note, to others, I'd recommend "following" that seller on Ebay if You have an account, because they have some VERY good deals on ALL things PC @ one time or another, from Sound cards, to GPU's,Webcams, and whatever else Diamond Multimedia makes.
Finally, Personally, I would recommend AGAINST using Ebay as I said before, but This seller is one exception that I would make, SINCE I have Personal experience with them as a buyer.

OP is not in the US. Also if 7870 is $100, then the $70 price difference is not justified at all. Plus you can get R9 280 for less than that

Basically look at it this way, the GTX 750ti is meant for more of the "Low end" when it comes to gaming on Nvidias lineup (Well lower middle if nothing else) and the R9 270/X is more straight middle ground. When it comes to performance in the range your looking at, it goes like this:

GTX 750ti<R7 265<R9 270<R9 270X<GTX 760<R9 280<etc

If you are looking for the best value, I can safely say get the R9 270X if you can as those are very good 1080p gaming cards for the money especially if your looking at them being the same price then its a no brainer. As far as the apps go, I have Geforce experience on my laptop and Raptr on my desktop which with both I barely use. They are only really there to give you suggested game options based on your setup and other users experiences along with a few little things like the Game DVR's on both sides. Not something I would pick a side for honestly because neither are really necessary or that great in the end of the day.

I've got 750 Ti (non overclock) and it works fine for a all of *my* games at 1080p. That includes games like Rift, Hawken, Dota 2, Homefront, LoL, Left 4 Dead 2, Neverwinter online, Rage, Tera Online, Vindictus, Warframe, and the list goes on.

My most demanding game is probably Skyrim with the 2k texture mod, plus a few other mods. Even with that I really don't drop below 30fps unless im in a busy city and moving around a lot. It's totally playable. Most games like Warframe, Vindictus, Tera, etc im getting 40+ fps all the time with max detail ( and generally higher ).

But it really depends on what you want to do, if my main use was to play Battlefield 4 or DAI I wouldn't use a 750 ti. If I were at 1440p I wouldn't use a 750 Ti either.

If you look at Tom's HW chart section, there's a 1080p index. It shows the avg score for all tested 1080p games for the cards you compare. Keep in mind that the average numbers there are for the games they test - and these review sites only use the most demanding games for their benchmarks. The avg for a 750 Ti is over 40fps in those games.

Percentage wise :

The R9 270 vs R9 265 vs 750 Ti
129% 116% 100%

The 270 is faster but not to the level where you can suddenly do things that you can't do with a 750 Ti. The 750 Ti will also run cooler and take less power, put out less heat.

Having said all of that, if you believe you'll need more than a 750 Ti / R9 270 class card and with that 600W PSU in your rig description and - you might want to try to look more upscale and see what kind of deal you can find on an R9 280, provided you don't mind the extra heat and noise. That card is about 60% faster - but it also takes more than 3x the power.

It won't be as efficient but a 270x should be priced similarly however does perform better in games than a 750 Ti.

I have both these cards and can say there isn't much difference in heat or that much more power used, but the 270X is better in games. I would get another 270X as i've had no problems with either. As for those saying bundled games are included, that depends on the country they are sold in, mine came with none.
