Going to buy gigabyte r9 270x but i have seen benchmarks of 270x and 270 and performance difference is only 3 or 4 fps and also its power consuption is 30w more. So is 270x worth over 270 , their price diff is like 30-40$. Not thinking to overclock.

More about : gigabyte 270 270

The performance difference is only about 5% as you point out and if you do not plan to OC the 270 should be able to handle all the same games at the same settings with bigger than 5% savings.

So, 270x not worth over 270 and 30 $, right?

No that is not true, both are remakes of the HD7870 having the same amount of stream processors, the R7 265 is the remake of the HD7850 which both use the same GPU as the others but with some of the stream processors disabled!
I personally would get the 270!

But sufficient, the final decision is yours but I do not think the extra fan is worth it but if the looks are for you it is your money.
