Hello everybody.
I want to buy a new gpu and i am really wondering should i buy the 3GB 384-bit r9 280 dual-x but lower core clock (i am not interested in overclocking) or should i buy one of the R9 270x 2GB 256-bit but higher core clock.

Here are the links and my budget is strictly at 210€ (Consider:23 VAT in my country)

The R9 270x cards:

I know that all of them are good cards.I will use it for gaming (games like GTA V,Assasin's Creed Unity,Witcher 3,heavily modded games :p like skyrim etc),video editing and i would like to have it for as many years as possible.What do you recommend?

The 280 3GB card is a better option and can be overclocked to the same or higher clock as the 270x, so clock speed is moot. Go with the higher memory bus and memory capacity. Even at stock clocks the 280 will outperform the 270x, which is WHY it's a higher tiered card.

Alright guys,thank you ;) I also think that the r9 280 is the best.I was just wondering if they had a big difference and as i see it,they do.

R9 280 ordered :p (after 6-7 years with a 6770 :p )

PS darkbreeze got the solution and xemko got a thumbs up ;)

A 6770 is literally a 5770 so i can compare the r9 280 to a 5770 and the difference is extremely huge :p
