Posted September 2, 2014 R9 280, i had this decision to make a while back, and i wish i went for it instead of the 270x.

Posted September 2, 2014 280. In reviews of the 3gb vs 6gb 280x, there is little to no performance increase even at 1440p.

Posted September 2, 2014 same here, i kinda regret buying a r9 270x instead of a r9 280 Main reason i didn't get the 280 is that i only had 2x 6pin PCIe power connectors on my PSU, and didn't have the cash to get a better PSU for it. That ended up dying on my a few weeks later anyway, and i had to replace it, lol.

Posted September 2, 2014 lol the resolutions needed for 4gb to be advantageous over 3gb would kill a 270x anyway. 280. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 3, 2014 I'm going to jump onto the band wagon and suggest the 280 as well. Unless you're gaming on two or more monitors or 4K gaming, or even multiple 4K monitors for gaming I think 3GB of video memory should be plenty. The 280, even though it has less video memory is going to be a higher performer than the 270X. I have no signature. There is nothing to see here. Move along.
