How about R9 280 price/performance, and how about R9 270 and R9 270X???

Here in Canada not long ago you could get an R9 280 for $199 which would be an automatic buy at that price over the other cards you mentioned.

R9 280 is at really good spot. I would get it if you can't streach for r9 280x

[miyabwah]

The R9 280 is a Rebadged HD 7950, and a 280X is a 7970 GHz. The 270 is a 7850 and the 270X is a 7870 GHz.

[Cokeman]

Well if your asking which ones best the 280 is best. 270 isn worth it at all when a 270X is better for like $5 more. I would highly recommend the 280 the 270X isn't going to be able to handle modern games at good frame rates for much longer.

[flibberdipper]

The 280 is a pretty good bang for the buck card.

[Sauron]

Get either the 270 or 280, don't bother with the 270x as it's simply an overclocked 270. Price/performance is very good on both.

Wrong. It's not even close to 5$. Here r9 270 have better price to performance ratio

In the US a 270 is like $5-$10 cheaper then a 270X

I have the 7950 which is a 280. Good card for the money. I'd take it over the GTX760 anyday.

Nice. Send me one, please?

I would stretch a little more for a 280x if you can.

I got my r9 280 windforce for 217 dollars with tax and shipping.

Wrong, the 270 is a 7870, the 270X is a 7870GHz, and the r7 265 is a 7850

sorry, I didn't study the AMD rebrands, that was off the top of my head. But thanks for the info!

The 7950/280 has been in an excellent position in terms of price/performance for well over a year now. And that will only get better as new games start to take advantage of the 3 gigs of vram
