R9 270x gigabyte oc edition vs sapphire toxic

NinjaPenguin1 · Nov 16, 2013

I'm wondering if there is a differense in oc potencial with these cards. I'm planning on oc Even more than the factory oc.

The toxic should have a higher base clock allowing for a higher manual clock. It also has a superior cooler.

NinjaPenguin1 · Nov 16, 2013

So i would achieve higher clock speeds on the toxic?

Gam3r01 · Nov 16, 2013

Yeah most likely, a higher base clock requires less voltage and less heat to get to higher clocks, where the better cooler deals with the heat.

NinjaPenguin1 · Nov 16, 2013

Would you say that the toxic is worth the extra 49 dollars? And is it hard to overclock a gpu, never done it before.

Gam3r01 · Nov 16, 2013

I would say it is. As for OCing its fairly easy, you simply increase the speeds by 10MHz each time, then once it crashes you turn it down 10, and repeat for the memory. Once you reach the max you can increase the voltage to allow for even more speed, but that produces heat.

Ok, but i was just wondering. There can't be that big of a differense between the two coolers because they both have Three fans.

Gam3r01 · Nov 16, 2013

The fans themselves push more air, the heatsinks themselves vary as well. They also are on two different PCBs so each card is made different. Some dual fan cards, such as the ASUS Matrix are better than 3 fan coolers in some cases.

OK, and just noe last question. Will There be a big differense in games between these two.

Gam3r01 · Nov 16, 2013

Maybe 5-7 frames at most at stock speeds. To some that is worth it in its own. The OC is where the money pays off.

NinjaPenguin1 · Nov 16, 2013

I know this may be a hard question, but what do you think would be the difference in clock speeds and fps when both are max overclocked.

Gam3r01 · Nov 16, 2013

Clock speeds I cant tell, as it varies card to card, but performance overall at max speeds(whatever that may be) It should be 10-15 over the gigabyte.

NinjaPenguin1 · Nov 16, 2013

OK, thank you so much for your help.

Gam3r01 · Nov 16, 2013

No problem!
