Which is the better card in terms of value per dollar? In here (Bulgaria) the 270x is on a 10% discount for about $230 (a limited offer, and I don't have much time to decide), while the Sapphire is $270. The 280 is better in terms of performance, has 50% more BUS, 50% more memory, but has lower clock speed on the other hand. In addition, Sapphire offers only 2 years of warranty, compared to the 3 ASUS offers, which is a slight disadvantage on their part. However, I have the impression that Sapphire are better in terms of cooling and noise levels... Has anybody had experience with those cards to share? What would you get, if you were me? Any comments, recommendations or such? Should I quickly get the ASUS, while it's still cheaper? Thanks in advance!

P.S. There is also and EVGA GTX 760 for $290 (also on a 10% discount), but that a bit over my budget, and I'm not entirely sure I'm willing to spend these extra dollars.

Its regular price is about $260. Plus, it's Asus, which is a better brand than Sapphire in my opinion...

(These are Bulgarian prices! In here PC components are a bit more expensive than overseas.)
