Assumung the prices are almost identical. Neither one will do 60+ on high performance load games. you could save about 20 bucks with the 260x simply from the power suppply which opens the possibillity of a lower watt PSU with cleaner power going to components. That way ya dont get tem0ted to cjlheap out on a higher watt with dirty power. Thise things can die out or shorten the lifespans of your components. But the 265 has a pretty superior texture rendering capacity which beneficial to a lot of the shooting games and the extra stram processors should help minimize those fps spikes that drop. 9th 128 bit 1GB so crossrifre is Not the smartest investment. I th8nk runn8ng a game like bf4 could be smooth enough on 900p. You might get to use medium sett8ngs with a 265 and medium.and low with a 260. Wouldnt care to use either at 1080p 9n such a game.
