Is this R9 270X good?

TacoTrain · Oct 2, 2014

I have looked around at all the versions of the R9 270X, and i settled on the SAPPHIRE R9 270X TOXIC edition:

Is this a good card for Ultra settings in modern games? Also i am gaming at 1600x900, and my CPU is an I5 4440. so i should get good FPS right?

Thanks,

Its a decent card. Its not the best but I would call it mid.

Newer games may tax this card.

I run dual 6950's (its about equivalent to a 270x) and the biggest thing that hits my card is when i max view distances.

For $26 more you can get a much faster GTX 770 on promo http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp42776kr

Well that's the thing, i wasn't planning on buying this r9 270x at amazon for that price, i'm only going to spend 100-200$ so i was buying on Ebay. But if i can find the 770 for a good deal somewhere i of course will get it instead!

And even though it's a mid range card, at 1600x900 resolution it should do really good right?

TacoTrain :

"Really good" is subjective, you should get decent FPS at medium-high, maybe high, so it depends on what your view of really good is.

Fitzitz :

By really good i mean at least 60FPS and never dipping below 30FPS at high settings.

Yeah, it can easily do above 30fps at high settings at 1600x900

Agree at 900p it willl get good fps. If thats the resolution that u are going to play i see no point on getting a $300+ card when a $200 card will still give you 50+ fps

TacoTrain · Oct 2, 2014

I wasn't getting a 300$ card. I'm buying a used r9 270x on Ebay.

also there is a msi gtx 760 for 164.99 (214.99 - 20 code:visacheckout - 30 mir = 164.99) in order to get the 20 with the code you have to use visa check out.

i wouldnt buy a used graphic card. i almost bought a used 770 windforce (3 fans) from amazon at $218, but with the prices around 260 for a new 770 it wasn't worth it, even if it had triple fans.

even if amazon have a good costumer service and all that, after the 30d warranty is up, you are on your own.

if you got time check reddit once in a while. they post some really good offers that even pcpartpicker isnt aware. like my 4690k for $194

It could definitely play High-Ultra settings on modern games.

DMTron · Oct 2, 2014

i got this card and i have been able to play most games at high and racing games maxed out. I think it will handle games pretty well, especially at 900p.

I doubt a 270x will play ultra games at decent FPS. At that resolution, high is probably more likely.
