Hello, I have been looking at the:Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Dual-X Boost OC AMD Graphics Card 2GB Graphics Card to fit in the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P AMD Socket AM3+ Motherboard. But I kind of want something a bit more powerful and then i found the: Sapphire Radeon R7 Nitro 370 Dual-X 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11240-04-20G). And I was wondering whether the R7 Nitro 370 is BETTER than the R9 270X and whether they will both work in the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P Motherboard???

Any answers will be MUCH appreciated

thanks XD

Thanks Bro the only problem is that on this really cheap website it has been discontinued:https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/AMD+Radeon/Radeon+R9+270/Sapphire+Radeon+R9+270X+Dual-X+Boost+OC+AMD+Graphics+Card+2GB+Graphics+Card+?productId=57842...
and it is quite expensive everywhere else but they do have similar ones for a similar price:https://www.aria.co.uk/Products?search=sapphire+radeon&x=0&y=0&searchCat=1411
are these ones similar performance or better? if not do you know any that are but for the same(ish) price???
Thanks again for answer! XD

You should be able to fit that motherboard in either case without a problem, though I do prefer the one from the video, and you can make it more snazzy by adding fans with LEDs in them or even a LED strip if it has a window

Also do I need to buy a fan with the case? like in this case http://www.amazon.co.uk/CiT-Goblin-Gaming-Interior-Toolless/dp/B00I9XOSLW/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1459422187&sr=1-1&keywords=gaming+case. it says at the bottom you should buy it with this fan----http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-R4-L2R-20AG-R2-Sickleflow-120mm/dp/B0046U6DWO/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=17ADWHTXNY034CP0JJEN... But will it light up withought the LED fan at the bottom and do I need the fan at the bottom to keep my PC cool????? XD

Hey Nuckles_56 it's your old buddy ahsoka4444 I just checked up on the Graphics Card you sent me a link to and it turns out that one has now been discontinued aswell so i was wondering weather you knew any Graphic Cards that are of a similar power as the other one or more powerful for around about the same price???

Thanks XD

Ok. Thanks but will it be as powerful if not more powerful as the one you told me about before and will it work with the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P AMD Socket AM3+ Motherboard and the AMD FX6300 Processor? and will it be for a similar price? as the other one. Also i did find the discontinued one you told me about on amazon for £10 more?!?!

The top card which AMD is announcing is supposed to be about gtx 980/r9 390x level of performance for $199 (4GB version) and $239 (8GB version) and much lower power consumption than the current cards AMD has, so if you can wait about 2 weeks, I'd go with one of the new cards. Yes, they will work with the CPU and motherboard you have chosen to use. As for whether to get the suggested card, it depends on whether you can wait to get a new GPU or not.

If you wait for one of the new $150 RX 470 or $200 RX 480 AMD cards in a couple weeks you will not regret it. An RX 470 has enough power to rival a 380x at half the wattage! An RX 480 overclocked uses just 150 watts and beats a GTX 980, a card double its price! So if you can hold off, you will be rewarded with high fps for less money.

I can wait but can you send me a link to the new GPU's and also you probably said already but will the 4gb one be more powerful than the R9 380 if so how much? also I know the knew ones use less power consumption but what does this mean?
P.S Sorry i sound like a complete noob!

I believe the card they were talking about is the RX 480, which has been released.

EDIT: I accidentally posted a link of the wrong item. The correct item is below and as of viewing the site, there are 2 in stock.
