In all seriousness because it not as "good" as a gtx 980.  

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

Who says that? Source?

It's fine and the drivers aren't a problem. Source: I own a Asus R9 270X

Also seriously? Almost all of these some of these threads are about the same thing

Because R9 270 is almost as good, and costs less.

 

Stable, solid drivers.

They're not designed for the same things... The 980 is made for 1440p gaming, while the 270X is made for 1080p. Comparing these two is like comparing an i3 with an i7.

All cards are fine theres just some extremely bad cases and you usually only hear the vocal few who have lists of problems not the guys who just slap it in and have it work and forget about it... but personally i'd get a 270 or step up to 285, 280, 280x, 770, or 970 as the  ONLY difference between 270 and 270x is clock speeds which you can replicate
