Is this R9 270X good?
I have looked around at all the versions of the R9 270X, and i settled on the SAPPHIRE R9 270X TOXIC edition:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FLMKREQ/ref=s9_simh...

Is this a good card for Ultra settings in modern games? Also i am gaming at 1600x900, and my CPU is an I5 4440. so i should get good FPS right?

Thanks,

It could definitely play High-Ultra settings on modern games.


I doubt a 270x will play ultra games at decent FPS. At that resolution, high is probably more likely.

i got this card and i have been able to play most games at high and racing games maxed out. I think it will handle games pretty well, especially at 900p.

I wasn't getting a 300$ card. I'm buying a used r9 270x on Ebay.


i wouldnt buy a used graphic card. i almost bought a used 770 windforce (3 fans) from amazon at $218, but with the prices around 260 for a new 770 it wasn't worth it, even if it had triple fans.

even if amazon have a good costumer service and all that, after the 30d warranty is up, you are on your own.

if you got time check reddit once in a while. they post some really good offers that even pcpartpicker isnt aware. like my 4690k for $194

also there is a msi gtx 760 for 164.99 (214.99 - 20 code:visacheckout - 30 mir = 164.99) in order to get the 20 with the code you have to use visa check out.

Agree at 900p it willl get good fps. If thats the resolution that u are going to play i see no point on getting a $300+ card when a $200 card will still give you 50+ fps

And even though it's a mid range card, at 1600x900 resolution it should do really good right?


"Really good" is subjective, you should get decent FPS at medium-high, maybe high, so it depends on what your view of really good is.


By really good i mean at least 60FPS and never dipping below 30FPS at high settings.


Yeah, it can easily do above 30fps at high settings at 1600x900
