I currently have a MSI AMD Radeon R9 270X 1030MHz 2GB GDDR5 PCIe3.0 HDMI Gaming Graphics Card, any suggestions on a worthwhile upgrade on this?

This will be for Battlefield and any other new games in this format ?
 
A 270x is a cut down tahiti (7870xt) if I remember right. I don't think you'd notice much improvement unless upgrading to a 290 or 780.

What res and refresh rate is your monitor(s)?

That was the early rumour and turned out to be wrong, didn't it. The 270 x and non-x are both Pitcairn, tweaked a little.

And a quick Google later the performance is basically exactly the same as the 7870, well below 7950 levels.

Oh ok, fair enough. Im remembering that from gibbo's first explanation of the r models. Seems a bit daft to have three different pitcairns now, with the 265 as well.
