I was going to buy the Powercolor 7870 HD. Oh I was so excited. But when I got home, it was out of stock. Now if I want

to buy it i have to spend a 100 dollars more, because it was an christmas offer, here in Sweden.

 

So I've looked in another card, the 270x. It has kinda the same specifications, some even better. And it costs only 230 dollars in Sweden.

 

So what do you think guys, should i go with the 270x or invest a 100 dollars for the 7870 HD, or even find another card ?

 

 

Kristofer.

There's no point to getting the 270x over the 270 unless it's cheaper for some odd reason.

270, core clock 900 mhz, clock 5600 mhz, interface 256 bit.

BF4 gets better fps with the 270x ;)

Well duh. The 270x is just the 270 with better overclocking.

I'd just get the 270X because both cards overclocked the 270X is still going to be better than the 270 and it's only like $20 more.
