Hello all,
i am currently looking into buying a new gpu, and i made the mistake of buying a crappy card last time, was wondering if anyone could give insight on this card here:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

What im wondering is, if there are any equivalent cards with a better rating, such as nvidia instead of AMD, or if there is something better in the same price bracket, preferrably no more than $250

Thank you

The link shows a list of pci 3.0 cards, which one were you looking at specifically?

That link works great for me and shows me exactly the detail page for this card:

ASUS R9 270X Graphics Card - Radeon R9 270X, 4 GB GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0 x16, 2 x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort - R9270X-DC2T-4GD5 - 2 FREE Games up to $100 value after purchase, limited offer

WELL YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE to ask this question prneyers22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below this sentence is one of the BEST PAGES on the entire internet and it's right here on Tom's Hardware!

As long as you can't buy a higher-tier card on that link for less money then yes you've got yourself a great deal. Congrats and good luck on your purchase!

^ Well that doesn't sound like an advertisement at all...

Anyhow, I'd grab the R9 280 that i7 listed. At that price I would just forget about the 270, even if you have to borrow 20 bucks from somewhere.

Price is probably your best indicator of card capability.
All $250 cards will perform similarly.
Don't sweat differences that show up on synthetic benchmarks.

At that price, I think you are looking at a GTX760 or R9-280.
