R9 270x vs R9 280 vs GTX 670, Which one is the best for...?
my 3 years old 6870 is dying. So can't decide which one should I get yet.
I want it to be double my 6870's performance.
I'd love to try go with Nvidia again but that 2gb is holding me back.
My goal is to play Skyrim with all hd mods + ENB.

Actually Im currently using only one monitor.
but as a lots of people told me that putting a lot of mods requires >3 vram. So, im not sure which one suits me the best.

(XFX) R9 270X Double Dissipation Edition ~ $260
(MSI) R9 270X GAMING 4G ~ $270
(ASUS) R9 280 DirectCUII TOP ~ $300
NVIDIA GTX 760 2gb ~ $260, $300

the R9 280x seems to be a little outside my budget range though.

yeah he @pit_1209 is right!! people become loosers once they start to own AMD!!! go type any recent games in google will display too many amd card complaints over the game....(watchdogs, NFS Rivals, Any Ubisoft Games...Project Cars) also know the fact that all these games are tied up with nvidia...pure Buisnss!!! If you are an end user you dont have to see on how hardware does theoritically....but how it supports us!!!it does nothing i have R9 270x cant play ny games at decent rates...i uninstalled watch dogs...:(  ( not all games..) please doooooooo take this note!!!! R9 280 is good on budget range

^^ exactly, infact, most amd cards out-perform their nvidia counterparts.

Forget about that loser (sidcrimson) and choose AMD if you want to, their cards are great and some are the best for the money right now.

the R9 280 is your best bet, it has enough vram for you, and it is faster than the 270x and the 760. the 270X 4GB version is kinda a waste of money unless you crossfire it, as it isnt strong enough to even use all 4gb.
