So...I got a new GPU...instead of R7 260X
Any suggestions guys? I have not opened it to install yet, just wanted to ask the community some Qs....
Firstly, does it have the same problem as a R7 260x? Driverwise I mean...why I ask is because with the XFX R7 260X 2GB DDR5, I had huge problems with my PC crashing/black screening on start...I'd get the single beep...but black screen...id get lights/no lights with keyboard...and black screen...if no black screen...i'd get a BSOD error...with ATIKMPAG.SYS as the error file...and rarely about 10% maybe itd load up (and thats when i copied everything to my external and nuked my drive)
Here's the price I paid for my Club3d R9 270...$155 before tax.

Does anyone know the difference bewteen that one and the RoyalQueen version? The store staff seemed to have no idea.

And I got it here...if anyone could provide maybe a better suggestion instead of my card? (In light of possible AMD driver errors? or is the R9 270 going to be fine? Even though I had the R7 260x problem)
