Posted March 4, 2015 So me and my friend are doing budget build for another friend. I am an Nvidia fanboy... So hear me out, despite all my love for Nvidia I agree the price to performance Amd is the way to go! But I am a noob at amd cards so which one is better of the two for gaming?! r9 280 vs r2 270x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing your tags, the R9 280 (better value and better performance).

Posted March 4, 2015 Nailed it! Thanks. Already edited and added it to the post! Here is a link to a benchmark by the way: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/05/19/amd-radeon-r9-280-review-feat-xfx/4 The R9 280 is marked in red. The R9 270X is 2 below that and you can see the GTX 760 is inbetween those 2.

Posted March 4, 2015 280 is the way to go, it's noticably faster and the 3GB VRAM helps with modern games. Mah Build: CPU: Intel i7-7700K COOLING: NZXT Kraken X52 GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 MOBO: Asus Strix Z270F RAM: 16GB GSKILL TridentZ RGB 3000 CASE: In Win 303 STORAGE: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB, Seagate 1TB SSHD PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 4, 2015 I've had the whole 200 series range,.. 260x/270x/280/280x, some of these a few times... R9-280 has some nice headroom (psuedo HD7950-OC), and even if the 270x had the same headroom, you'd get more out of the 280 due to other things like more shader cores and such extra vram. I'd go with the 280 hands down over any 270x, as long as the price is right... Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
