R7 265, R9 270 or GeForce?

[AdsStan]

So my original plan was to get a R9 270 but the R9 265 is basically the same and cheaper but I was just wondering if I get a card that runs the same but cheaper or something what runs better for the same price (£140 - £150). Yes I could just go on PCPartpicker but I don't know alot about nvidia cards because I am a bit of an AMD fan boy so yeah.

For just over 150GBP you can get an R9 280.

you'll be fine with a 270

[SAV1OUR]

just go for the 265, like you said its the same card at a slower clock speed

yeh clock speeds on a graphics card means nothing to me its all about the cores

That is the most helpful post I've ever seen on this site.

You won't benefit from the extra 2 GB and the Tri-X card is top tier for Sapphire right behind their Vapor-X ones.

yeh true but the R7 265 suits my needs right now but i feel like there is something whats more powerful for the price

very true but it still makes the difference

Still, I would only get the Dual-X if there's size problems in your case.

Get the 265 if you want value and the 270 of you want power.

R9 270 and here is why:
-More cores than a 265

-Costs less than a 270X

-Is EXACTLY the same card as a 270X, it just has lowered clocks

-You can always SAFELY OC to 270X clocks and enjoy the free performance increase

Which is convenient. The R7 265 has 4 disabled GCN CUs compared to the 270 (1024 cores vs 1280).

 

R7 265 is not very well priced in the UK either.

 

I'd suggest either a 270X Dual-X (these are usually £120 ish) or stretch the budget, I saw a Gigabyte R9 280 (new PCB version) for £149.99. I think it was on Scan.

270. Or a GTX 750 Ti if you want NVIDIA.
