The 270X has more speed, but the 280 has more memory. Which one should I get?

R9 280. 

 

Don't worry too much about the factory overclocks on the cards. With a bit of research, you can overclock your 280 to a similar, if not greater clock speed.

280, I love my 280 I may pick a second one up though, but I'm on the fence about it cause I like the low noise.
