Hi guys this is my first post. I want to buy a r9 270 gpu and i found this HIS r9 270 which is $195 in my country.

http://www.hisdigital.com/us/product2-796.shtml

So i wanted to ask that what is the difference between HIS icooler r9270 and gigabyte R9 270 since HIS is $195 and gigabyte is $260 is their any major performance slow down in HIS ? why it is cheaper ? should i buy HIS and it will be same as reference model ?
Thanks in advance.

The GPU is the same, but the cooler isn't. I prefer Gigabyte's 2x Windforce cooler over HIS's iCooler. But I would not pay $65 more for it. The HIS one is fine.

Thanks for your support . So there is no difference other than the cooler ? Gaming fps will be the same on both gpus? If it is so than i will go for HIS.

A nicer cooler will help keep temperatures down which will result in a longer card lifespan. You won't see a major difference in fps. Definitely go for the HIS, the windforce is not worth $65 dollars more. There is no difference in the two besides the cooler.
