Hello :)

I am looking to buy a new PC with either of the follwoing graphis cards, mostly for Adobe graphics work on a 2560 x 1440 display...

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB DDR5

Or

AMD Radeon HD R9 270 2GB GDDR5

I can only have one or t'other. Any yays or nays would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Thanks MoonBoots

Hmmm, I think I would prefer quieter and efficient, so 750Ti it may well be then.

The one I have in my old Dell actually warms the office.

Some of the models run off a single 6 pin power cable - makes it even quicker to install and cuts down clutter in the case. My sister has one and it idles below 30 degrees! It's a lovely little card :)
 
270 everyday of the weak. The 750ti might use less power and run cooler but the 270 is hardly a hot and power hungry card. To put it into perspective the radeon r7 265 is also faster than the 750ti never mind the model up in the 270.
 
Noise is dependent on the cooler and the Sapphire R9 270 is quiet and runs off a single PCI-E power connector. Also the R9 270 has better Open CL performance which is useful for CC.
 
A 270 is an underclocked 7870, and is easily more powerful than a 750Ti. These cost about the same as a 750Ti (£110).

A 260X is a 7790 and has about the same performance as a 750Ti (and an XBOX 1) and costs about £25 less than a 750Ti.

For overall performance: 270 >> 750Ti
For performance per £: 270 > 750ti
For performance per Watt: 750Ti > 270

So basically go with what matters most to you.

Oh and the 270 only uses 1 6-pin power cable so is not exactly power crazy.
 
With 750ti as its nvidia you get CUDA support with Adobe products so there is a slight advantage there with regards to processing power in relation to rendering and video editing.

Oh god that 'xbox 1' had me confused for at least a couple of minutes! I've never seen it written like that so thought you meant the original Xbox!

Back on topic though, is an Xbox One really the equivalent of a 260X?

Yeah the Xbox One is roughly the same graphically as a 7790 (260X). The PS4 is closer to a 7850 (265).

And this is whise MS already lost the race to Sony before the race even began :p

But then again kids and parents don't really know about the hardware difference between the XBone and PS4 anyway.

I actually want to buy a PS4 if it would play PS3 games as well (shame it doesn't)...as my main interest are Japan anime/rpgs kind of console games (which are still mainly released on PS3), not the western multi-platform type games that I can run far better on PC graphic wise.

Either option is miles better than the Radeon HD 5700 I've been using for the last 3 years with my Cintiq 22. Now I'm moving to the Cintiq 27HD which is much higher res, so either of these cards will be better than I currently have.
