Need help deciding between two video cards.

Should I get a Asus r9 280 3gb 384-bit$249.99 or a Sapphire 270 2gb 256-bit:$199. There are also a few other options that are cheaper regarding the r9 280, that is the cheapest r9 270 I can find on newegg.ca. Which do you think I should choose? Thanks Ya'll.

The 280 will give you a little performance boost. I would go with it. Depending on your cpu? what cpu do you have?

1criticthatmatters · Nov 7, 2014

I have a fx 6300.

You should be ok. Are you overclocking?

1criticthatmatters · Nov 7, 2014

yeah maybe a little, 5-10% over stock on the GPU. I don't think I'm going to overclock the CPU much.

A little bit will only help performance. That is fine.

1criticthatmatters · Nov 7, 2014

Thanks for your help I think I'll go with the r9 280.
