GeForce GTX 750 ti vs Radeon R9 270

[NewYorksFinest]

Who wins! They are both ~$150 and have 2GB of GDDR5 RAM. They both have a fan.

 

[Yuriman]

270 is faster by a pretty good margin, about 20% I'd guess. 750ti I believe uses considerably less power and has better performance per watt. I have no idea how well a 750ti would overclock but the 270 might get as much as 30%.

R9 270 is a fully enabled Pitcairn chip. In terms of perf , R9 270 > GTX 660 > R7 265 / HD 7850 > GTX 750 Ti . the R9 270 is roughly 30% faster than GTX 750 Ti.

In terms of perf/watt the GTX 750 Ti is the best card. so take your pick.

 

[tviceman]

Wow, if the 270 is a legit $150 then yes it's the better deal. But newegg is showing the cheapest is $170. Not a huge difference, but $20 in that price range usually separates tiers of cards.

The 270 is definitely faster. If power and card size considerations are not a factor, and an extra $20 is not a factor, then you want the r9 270. But if you value super low power consumption, need the card to be of smaller size, and saving $20 is important, then the 750 ti is your card to get.

Based on the price clearly the faster 270.

I'd have to add, while clearly the 270 is superior, the one situation where the 750 ti would be useful is if you don't have the 6 pin power cable, or if you have a cheap OEM PSU. Other then that fringe case it's clear.

 

[Zanovar]

I would take the 270.

 

[Wild Thing]

The 270 geometry processing is clearly superior to 750Ti.
Only if perf/watt is the sole determinant would the choice favor the nVidia card.
As the poll rightly reflects.

 

[Silverforce11]

Id take the 750 ti because at the low end, I value efficiency more, as my only low end builds are HTPC SFF rigs.

That perf/watt is simply too good for its niche market.

 

[DrPizza]

As far as cost goes, couldn't the power be taken into account as a cost? At, say, 10 cents per kilowatt hour, simply multiply the extra watts times hours each day. I don't know how much power either uses, but for the sake of illustration, let's say it's used 3 hours and 20 minutes a day, and uses 100 extra watts. That's equivalent to 1 kw/hr every 3 days, or roughly $12 more each year. Lifespan of 3 years, and it's an extra $36. Not super-significant, but compared to the up front cost of $150, it's still considerable. (Though, my numbers are fictitious; I don't know the actual numbers.) But, those who do, feel free to calculate the difference in cost based on power consumption.

 

[Attic]

I think the delta of power use at gaming load is ~70-80watts. It's both a speed and power thing for most folks. 750ti uses substantially less power, 270 is substantially faster. It's entirely expected to require more watts for more fps.

That being said, the 270 is still efficient regarding power use in a larger picture of available GPU's. The 750ti is just unrivaled in efficiency.

 

[GTX650Ti]

This question can't be serious! The R9 270 is in GTX 770 Territory. The GTX 750 Ti is a nice little card, But the price just stinks. And it is a shame too, Because the GTX 750 Ti could be a great victory for Nvidia if they would just ask a fair price for it. But unfortunately Nvidia is taking advantage of their customers using the success of the GTX 650 Ti, The GTX 650 Ti was priced perfectly at $120, And it offered people on a tight budget the best price/performance in that price range. Well now it is 2 years later and the GTX 750 Ti is supposed to take that place, But instead Nvidia is treating the GTX 750 Ti like it is this magical GPU, When it is nothing more than a improved GTX 650 Ti.

[FalseChristian]

I have 2 GTX 760 2GBs but I have to say the R9 270 is the better deal IF you're a gamer. If not than either. I do agree the 750Ti is overpriced.

 

[Qwertilot]

Depends If going for that sort of card I think I'd be with the 'lowest noise/power that works' tendency, which is a 750ti.
(In fact I upgraded a 7850 to one. Content.).

Obviously different if you rate speed first and foremost, but then probably after something bigger than the 270 anyway.

I think you made a mistake. The 770 is a far better card then then r9 270. The 770 is about 40%-50% faster. Even the 270x is out classed. Maybe you ment 280?

 

[Cloudfire777]

Best in what?

Performance? Clearly the R9 270
Heat and noise? 750 Ti
Power consumption? 750 Ti

 

[Madpacket]

750 is more elegant and performs admirably at 1080P in most games. Also you can overclock the snot out of it closing the performance gap somewhat.

That being said if this is simply a gamer PC I would choose the 270 given equal pricing.

 

[AtenRa]

Purely from Performance perspective the R7 270 is much faster.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Correct, only 270 can do long idle mode and this gen Maxwell cannot. I love leaving my PC for either remote use or files downloading without the card sipping extra ~10 watts. Works like a charm on my ASUS (R9270-DC2OC-2GD5). Surprised, nVIDIA still hasn't come up with a similar feature.

I also admire the 750 Ti power consumption profile. It's a very balanced chip but the price is what kills the deal. This is also the main reason why i choose AMD lately.
The 270 at that price is a good deal as the original (7870) was double the amount at launch if i'm not mistaken

 

[nwo]

270 is hands down the faster card.

If it was 265 vs 750Ti it might be more debatable, but the 265 should also still come out on top as far as performance is concerned.

270 is also an amazing overclocker, and you can easily get it up to 270X speeds which would absolutely blow away any 750Ti.

 

[RussianSensation]

R9 270 or even 270X for $190. The 270X is a bit over budget but it provides a whopping 39% more performance at 1920x1080 for just $40-45 more vs. 750Ti. Let's say you keep the GPU for 2 years, your extra outlay is $20 / year. Right now, R9 270/X come with 2 free games that can be redeemed up to August 2014.

I'd only recommend the 750Ti if you have a weak power supply / lack a 6-pin power adapter. Purely as a gaming card, it's overpriced.

The other thing to consider, while the R9 270X is $40-45 more than GTX750Ti, it's very close in performance to the $230-250 GTX760 from NV. That's a heck of a lot of value for such a small price premium over the 750Ti. I would also take the 270 over 750Ti.

 

[alexruiz]

I wonder if the ones posting these polls of "GTX 750Ti vs a much faster GPU" are nVidia employees, or simply clueless fanboys. What is next, "GTX 750Ti vs R9 290X"? Or maybe the nVidia marketing machine is really that good at convincing you that if they are close in price, they should also be close in performance, right?

The GTX 750Ti is a great card, very efficient, but it simply is clearly overmatched in firepower by the R7 265 or the R9 270 that have been asked in these polls.

Not even a question for a poll in my eyes, and the argument of "PSU" is weak because even the Corsair CX430 that goes on sale often at $20AR has plenty of room to power a R9 270X comfortably. If you built a PC with a half decent PSU, it will be able to power a R7 265 / R9 270. Now, for OEM PCs, that is a different story, and where the GTX 750ti shines, but in your custom built Pc, unless you picked the $15 special "650W" ark, your PSU will handle a better video card than a GTX 750 Ti

I found a brand I don't recognize at NCIX for $160. Still don't see any for $150.
