If you can spend the money the 280 is a better choice.

Posted

Well since i last checked the price of a R9 270 was like £120, £150 and I looked yesterday at the prices and they have gone down a fair bit and I picked out a few cards to look out for on Black Friday and Cyber Monday but I just dont know what card is best out of them. Yes there is a R9 280 on the list yes I know its better than a R9 270 / 270X but whatever is the best performing for my money I will get. 

 

Help / suggestions will be appreciated.

Please don't post any suggestions of other cards the list below is the cards I picked out also the R9 280 is in the mix because it is in my price range for my graphics card. 

I will be using it for gaming and I wont be overclocking my card.

Not really. I understand what you mean about the I/O though, but the TF cooler is a good cooler as well.
