In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 270 are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 EVGA Superclocked 1GB Edition.
The GTX 750 has a 315 MHz higher core clock speed than the Radeon R9 270, but the Radeon R9 270 has 48 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 750. As a result, the Radeon R9 270 exhibits a 33.1 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 750. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 750 has a 315 MHz higher core clock speed than the Radeon R9 270, but the Radeon R9 270 has 16 more Render Output Units than the GTX 750. As a result, the Radeon R9 270 exhibits a 9.4 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GTX 750. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 750 was released less than a year after the Radeon R9 270, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The Radeon R9 270 has 1024 MB more video memory than the GTX 750, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the Radeon R9 270 also has superior memory performance overall.
The Radeon R9 270 has 99 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 750, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon R9 270 is massively better than the GTX 750.
The GeForce GTX 750 EVGA Superclocked 1GB Edition has 512 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R9 270 has 1280. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 750 is 894 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon R9 270 is 1006. The Radeon R9 270 having 112 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Radeon R9 270 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 750.
The GeForce GTX 750 EVGA Superclocked 1GB Edition requires 55 Watts to run and the Radeon R9 270 requires 150 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GTX 750 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the Radeon R9 270. The Radeon R9 270 requires 95 Watts more than the GTX 750 to run. The difference is significant enough that the Radeon R9 270 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 750.

| Mini Review | GeForce GTX 750 EVGA Superclocked 1GB Edition is a special edition of the fast-middle-class GeForce GTX 750. This edition comes with a custom cooling cooling solution which by itself will allow a slight performance boost, as GeForce GTX 750 benefits from the GPU Boost 2.0 technology. Furthermore, it comes overclocked out of the box in the central unit that was raised from 1020MHz to 1215MHz, while the Turbo Boost is now of 1294MHz, instead of 1085MHz. The operating memory clock was left untouched. Further overclocking can be achieved easily, as the GPU has great OC potential. Benchmarks indicate its performance is around 6% better than the reference card. | Overview Radeon R9 270 is a Performance Graphics Card based on the First Revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture The GCN 1.1 revision of the Graphics Core Next Architecture adds new important technologies and is largely oriented for energy efficiency. New technologies such as PowerTune and TrueAudio are the biggest additions as well as DirectX 11.2 support. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Curacao PRO which has 20 Compute Units activated and thus offers 1280 Shader Processing Units, 80 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The Central Unit is clocked at 900MHz and goes up to 925MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1400MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 150W, it requires at least a 500W PSU with one available 6-pin connector. Performance Radeon R9 270 is a direct rebrand of Radeon HD 8860 (OEM) which is essentially a Power Optimized Radeon HD 7870/Radeon HD 8870 (OEM). It proves to be as fast as Radeon HD 7870/Radeon HD 8870 (OEM) . System Suggestions Radeon HD 8860 (OEM) is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a Strong Processor (Intel Core i5 Quad Core/AMD FX Six Core) and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | |||
