Posted March 8, 2015 Hello everyone! I'm saving up money for an R9 270. But when I search up the 270 on newegg, there are all these manufacturers to choose from, such as MSI, Gigabyte, Sapphire, etc. So here's the question: Which one do I choose? Is Asus good for cooling? Does Gigabyte make these cards perform better? Does XFX perform good, but have problems over time? Even though all these statements are not necessarily true, I would like to know which company is better or worse than the other at certain things. Thank you for taking time to view this post!

Posted March 8, 2015 All are great. XFX has a great warranty, GIGABYTE has excellent cooling with the windforce edition, Asus is overall reliable. Chose the cheapest.

I can't speak alot about AMD because I don't know anything about them but the local gaming store where I live only has Asus and Gigabyte GPUs. I asked one why they don't have EVGA etc. and he said that Asus and Gigabyte are the most reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 8, 2015 If you need a long warranty, go for XFX. If you want the best AMD coolers, go for sapphire. Otherwise, go for any of the other brands if you want the cheapest one and neither of the previous two mentioned are the cheapest.

Posted March 8, 2015 All are great. XFX has a great warranty, GIGABYTE has excellent cooling with the windforce edition, Asus is overall reliable. Chose the cheapest. Pretty much this. The only reason to ever choose a specific manufacturer over another is for very specific features that most people won't care about. All of them should work great. 4K // R5 3600 // RTX2080Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
