Solution S S Suztera Oct 16, 2014 sara831 : These are both only $15 more than the 270X http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202099&cm_re=r9_280-_-14-202-099-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202112&cm_re=r9_280-_-14-202-112-_-Product But is there actually any difference between them? Yes, about 10fps at ultra settings but it gets you near or past 60fps barrier most of the time.If it is $15 extra, consider it. You will want that 3GB VRAM for future games.

S Suztera Polypheme Mar 18, 2014 12,730 0 60,960 Oct 16, 2014 #2 I would choose the 3GB R9 280 over a R9 270X 4GB. The R9 280 would still be faster than a R9 270X. Overclock it further and you can reach near stock R9 280X Upvote 0 Downvote
