Ok, so ive decided to upgrade from my old r9 270. I did some shopping and found the rx 470 to be the best fitted for me....
So I just need some help deciding between these two -


Red Devil RX 470 4gb - $246 (newegg.ca(including shipping))

or


Asus Strix $240 (canada computers)

both offer a mail in rebate to bring them down to $210

So they are also the same boost clock speed.

So just my question is - Which do I buy? Red Devil, or Asus? Does one of them get more hot than the other? Does one drop in frame rate more than the other? What is over all the best one to choose?

Thanks :)

Find the cheapest variant if you dont overclock. All of them are the same GPU so no point spending on expensive ones.

Powercolor is cheapest for AMD
Zotac is cheapest for NVidia
Or so I think.

EDIT: Get this.

RX 480 (better than RX 470) 4GB
And its only US$170.
Note that this one is reference and doesnt overclock, but who cares? It performs better than a OCed RX 470!
