is this GPU worth buying?

Go to solution Solved by dragoon20005,

then when time comes i will but r9 280x but which brand?, and sell my R9 270x.. :) yee

sapphire or powercolor are good brands

Is it worth

AMD Radeon R9 270X Sapphire Dual-X

 

For playing: CoD Ghosts and new upcoming cod, BT4, Assassin creed black flag, and when GTA V comes up will i be able to play it at 50 FPS?.

i'd reccomend saving and getting an R9 280X or GTX 770 for those games

Like on the channel alot and I will probably say it.

For a entry level gaming card where you're getting your moneys worth a R9 270x is a great choice. 

 

If you have the ability I would go with a MSI or Gigabyte one personally but that is just me. 

If you decide to go with a Gigabyte model make sure you have enough clearance in your case for the triple 80mm fans!

Yes. If consider the 270 if there is a decent price difference since the 270 can be overclocked to 270x speeds easily.

Although I feel the need to ask.....you actually like ghosts....how

Even my die hard cod buddies hate ghosts

Because it's an awful game. I personally like the cod series...sure the community can really suck at times, and yes they're all like the same game, but they're fun to play nonetheless....except ghosts. Ghosts is terrible. The maps are way too big and too open considering the small team sizes and virtually no teamwork.

IMO get a most single most powerful GPU you can buy

 

dual 270X is not worth it when you can't play games at Ultra due to the 2GB VRAM limit

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

you can buy 7950`s dirt cheap now, and its the same as a 280. i would get that.

and you can play everything on a 270 at 50fps, or 10fps.. depends on what settings you are looking to run. with aa turned off most games will run just fine at midlevel cards.
