GPU Choice?

[Taidi]

Hey Guys,

 

i want to buy a new Graphics Card and i thought on the XFX Radeon R7-260X Black Edition.

 

Is that a good choice or is there any other option?

 

I have a budget around 100 - 120$.

 

I'm doing 3D Animation and sometimes Gaming like Battlefield 3 other something.

If you can afford that 260x, that's the best thing you could get with your money.

Try the 750ti at your budget range.  Definitely the 270 over the 750.

I saw a 270 (nonX) for 129 the other day. prices are dropping. keep your eyes peeled. The suggestion of the 260x.......... seen those under 100 if you look hard. real good card for the money and better than the 750 but ever so slightly worse than the 750ti.

 

you have to search sites hard for good deals.

I also had the idea to buy the 250 or 250x and save a little money and when i need more performance i just buy another 250 or 250x.

 

What will perform better, a single 270 (nonX) or 2x 250(NonX) in Crossfire?

 

And it doesn't need extra Power, so i dont have ugly wires in my case

no, wrong move.

265 or 270 is best bet 

 

don't crossfire unless you have top tier cards. always worth it to get a better single card.

than save 2 months and buy a 960 - 970 before you buy 2 shitty cards ^^
