Radeon 270/270x: Looking for best.

[Jonathan8998]

So I'm in the market and I've been looking for either a Radeon R9 270 or 270x. 

I want a good non-reference card which is around $200CAN. 

I want the best 'bang for your buck' 270 or 270x. 

Thanks

MSI or Gigabyte one, however if you spend about 20 dollars more(after rebate), you can get a R9 280

The absolute best R9 270x is the TOXIC R9 270x from Sapphire. That said for your price it will not be available. For $200 you cant get the best 270x but lets see here whats good for 200 hundy One moment while I check. Here you go http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202050&cm_re=R9_270x-_-14-202-050-_-Product That's the bitch.

Best bang for the buck: 270.

It's the same chip, it's just matter of luck that you find a nice one that can OC to 270x levels and even more.

If you have more, you can get the R9 280, it's pretty damn good also and it's a very nice bang for the buck.

Skip the 270x, it's the exact same chip as the 270 it just has a clockspeed bump. If you can strech for it then get a 280, though if you can't then these 270's all have solid coolers on them and are less than $200 CAN.
