Hi,

I am looking for some help about choosing the best video card

it will be between:

1- GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7950 / 3GB

2- SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB
link : http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2037&lid=1

in my country the 270x is cheaper than 7950 (about 60$)
ps: I not living in USA or Europe , so I can order from online stores

i see many reviews ( most of them didn't add 7950 in the benchmark), the others shows the difference is about 5-7 frames for 7950. but I see that don't really worth the 60$

That will depend on what resolution monitor your playing and if you play on ultra. 768p/900p gaming on mid to high settings? No sweat from either. You'll go over 60 fps easy. I also heard that the 270x is just the 7870 made a bit better. And the 7950 beats the 7870 in most benchmarks. But only by little. So I guess the best choice for you is the 270x

Well that seems to be the case. I'll assume you'll be doing 1080p. At that res, with the games tested, only Crysis 3 gets frames below 30. So you should be good. If you really want the best performance, you could spend a few hundred dollars more and get a 280x. One of the best deals right now. What's your budget?
