Hello Everyone!

I am purchasing a middle-class card and my three options are either the EVGA GTX 760, HIS R9 280 IceQ2 (blower style fan), and the HIS R9 270x. All three cards are under $230 and I want to know which one I should get, I would also like to know if any of you have HIS cards and if they are any good.

Thanks!

EVGA 760 is what I'd choose here, they OC very well besides being cooler and more power efficient. I'm not confident for HIS, not saying its bad, just not the preferred choice.

Thanks for the answer, although my GPU budget is $150-230 however, I am also trying to see if any cards perform well in games like BF4 and Skyrim with ultra settings with at least 60FPS and are under $200.

Thanks!

Price tells the story.

HIS is among the least expensive cards, but most cards are dependable.
I'd choose EVGA, also.

Blower style, sometimes called reference coolers, are noisy.

Any AMD cards that will get 60+ FPS (40 minimum) on ultra quality in games like BF4 and Skyrim?

$200 is mid to high entry level.
Demanding games can't be run on ultra.

My CPU will either be the FX-6300 or the FX-8320 if that helps at all.

Thanks!

Are BF4 and Skyrim pretty demanding video games?

The 280 would be my pick in that lineup.

BF4 and Skyrim are one of the most demanding games and you won't run them on 60+ ultra, on high you may be able to run it.

I'll either get the XFX R9 270 Core Edition on sale for $149.99, R9 270X, or EVGA GTX 760 w/ACX Cooler.

Thanks!
