Upgrade my 7870 to a HIS Radeon R9 270X OC ?

[Jacknif]

Hey :lol:

 

My dad is planning to buy myself a new GPU and will give my AMD 7870 to my brother, and we saw a pretty good opportunity : a  HIS Radeon R9 270X - IceQ X² Turbo Boost - 2 Gb for 90€ (112$) ! Someone already use it for a moment, but hey, for that price i'm not going to complain.

 

But my 7870 is still doing a great job and the R9 270x seems pretty much the same as a 7870 (since you do a crossfire with both of them).. What do you guys think ?

if your bro needs a gpu then it is a nice deal.But how long is this "moment" ?

why not.

or just keep both and do xfire.

It's an awesome deal, I'd go for it. Even though 7870=r9 270x.

I have two 270x in Crossfire, Clockspeed is at 1400mhz for both.

Hmmm what do you mean ? If he really need a new GPU ? Well have a crappy GTX 8800 so yeah he kind of need a new one, even tho the 7870 is going to bottleneck  the shit out of his old intel quadcore.

I can't keep both

The 7870 and R9 270X are EXACTLY the same GPU, you'll get the same performance from both cards.

The price you've mentioned is considered good for this card.
