Hey guys,
There's a person who's interested to replace his Gigabyte R9 270 WindForce with my GTX 660 WindForce, because he got used to the Nvidia video card and he would like to utilise that GeForce ShadowPlay technology of the Nvidia video cards.
My question is that, is that worth-doing at all? Because he still has guarantee and he's without dust.

And why there are no reviews in English about the WindForce R9 270 card?

Not worth it. These cards perform within 3-5% of each other.

Why risk a card with similar performance and power characteristics when yours works fine. What if you switch and that card gives you problems? It's not as if you are gaining any tangible performance here.
