I'm in the market for a new graphics card (especially with all the black Friday sales) and I can't decide between and R9 280 built by Powercolor or and R9 270 built by xfx. To be exact, these two right here:
(the 280

(the 270
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150702&cm_re=r9_270-_-14-150-702-_-Product
There's a relatively minor price difference, so the obvious choice might be spend a little bit extra and get the 280. But my concern is that 1) the 280 is built by powercolor and I don't know if it's a reputable company or not and 2) the XFX card claims to have additional features such as bullet physics and improved MSAA, but I'm not sure if that's unique to the XFX version or if it's standard in all R9 cards.
I need help, the sooner, the better! Thank you!
