Hello, I'm looking into a gpu for a new build and since prices have dropped for R9 270x I'm between these 3 graphics cards:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-msi-radeon-r9-270x-g...

I don't intend to overlock, even though I've done it in the past, and haven't played any games at resolutions over 1920x1080, and probably won't.

Also note that I haven't played BF before but considering that it's free and I'm a shooter fan I consider it an advantage.

From those 3 I would get the Gigabyte card but of all r9 270x the toxic is best in all aspects. The Gigabyte has good cooling, can be made noiseless with afterburner and the price is good. The Hawk comes second but the cooling solution is not that good. The Gaming has too low core clock and is last from those cards.

hawk is an overclocker's card. havent really looked at the prices but i would assume you pay a premium for the extra features it offers. but i assume your just gonna build it and run it so probs the gigabyte card in that respect.

Powercolor Devil or Sapphire Toxic is where I'd go. Both tri cooled and sexy as can be.

Toxic is 20£ over the gigabyte and without BF4. Can't find Powercolor in scan.co.uk and never used their products before
