Hi, I am looking at the two following cards, but I am not sure which one is better. Here are the cards:

1. PowerColor AX7950 3GBD5-2DHPPE RADEON HD7950 PCS+ Edition 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x 16 Desktop Graphics Card

2. PowerColor AXR9 270X 2GBD5-TDHE/OC TurboDuo Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 256bit Graphics Card

The aspect that is throwing me a bit is the 384 vs 256 bit difference. On GPU boss (http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270X-vs-Radeon-HD-7950), it says that the 7950 wins, even though it has lower clock speed? So yeah, what would be better for gaming?

Thank you in advance!
 
Solution
Clock speeds aren't the main factor in GPUs. For easier reference, just look at Game benchmarks to compare GPUs.

R9 270 / R9 270x = HD 7870

R9 280 = HD 7950

R9 280x = HD 7970

Anyway, you can OC the GPU yourself.
