270X 2GB is more expensive than the 270X 4GB on Newegg...why?

[Nemesis2290]

I can't figure out WHY it's so much more expensive, so I'm gonna ask the pros. The 4GB, which is cheaper, even has higher grade memory... Should I just go with the 4GB which is cheaper, although I won't be gaming past 1080p and only use a 2nd monitor for, well, skype/web browsing purposes?

You arent comparing identical cards.
The 4GB is a Dual-X, and the 2GB is the TOXIC Tri-X model.

The toxic carries a higher core clock over the dual-x which directly correlated to better performance. Not to mention the better cooler for overclocking.

Unless you have plans to Xfire (Which I wouldnt recommend) Grab the 2GB model, or look into a more powerful card.

The toxic is a higher durable card wgich has agressive clkck speeds, better vram modules, and efficient cooling. 4 gb if u plan to xfire which couldbe a future road to gain performance boost. 2 gbif u dont but lately 2 gb has been 2 less. Just a thoughtvto ponder.... why not 280 or 280x?
