Sapphire or Gigabyte ones, Asus(only avoid Asus on their Radeon cards because of their VRAM issue)

You Should Definitely Go With A Sapphire Card

Best Single 270x In My Opinion Or Go With 2GB Model If The Price Isnt Optimal

This is the card I have and I am loving it.

What about asus? It looks dope.

Dont Do It Asus Tends To Allow Their Cards To Go Hotter Than Most And The VRAM Issue That OP Stated. Sapphire Is Definitely The Way To Go If You Want Great Performance Now If You Want A Pile Of Ash For A PC Then By All Means Go With Asus lol

Oh crap, I recently used an Asus R9 270X in a build. What exactly are those problems with Asus Radeon cards?

it affect the AMD cards

 

the VRAM and VRMs are not cooled by the cooler

 

on the higher GPUs like the 280/X and 290/X

 

without cooling you get the artifacts

You should be fine as long as you don't have it over clocked balls to the walls, and have proper airflow and cooling.
