Hey everyone,

I am buying a new R9 270 but I really need to know which card:

MSI R9 270 Gaming 2GB Edition

Gigabyte R9 270 Overclocked 2GB

had the best cooler?

I will be overclocking significantly and running them crossfire. I can get them both for $209 AUD.

Cheers and thanks for any replies in advance!

I like Gigabyte more for motherboards, but I think MSI does a better job usually with graphics cards. Gigabyte has excellent high end GPUs but it seems their lower ones come up short sometimes.

So I would personally think MSI.

Gigabyte has the better cooler on it and I think it is the better price and performance (but only like 1-2 fps).
But MSI does have more reliable reviews at least on new-egg. Like the guy said before it seems gigabyte is not keen on quality on its lower end gpus.
Its up to you I would go for the MSI just for reliability.

They both have equal cooling performance. Either is fine.
