R9 270 Graphics Card Choice

[Xtwargodtx]

Hey guys I'm considering to buy an r9 270 (Not the 270x just the 270) I am wondering which brand would be better to go with Asus Or Gigabyte? These are the only 2 brands I can buy from so which one is better for the R9 270

If you have an ASUS motherboard,get the ASUS.
If you have a Gigabyte motherboard,get the Gigabyte.
If you have some third motherboard,then get the whichever one is cheaper.
If they are the same price,then the ASUS is a better choice.

go for the cheaper one there is not much of a difference between those .....i think sapphire one is the cheapest if its available...

there is nothing like matching the cards by their boards......

Yeah sadly I have an maxi board it seems though the gigabyte card runs cooler than the asus one any comments on that?

Gigabyte uses their Windforce cooler,which is really effective when it comes to cooling.
They also use a triangular desing,which spreads the air onto and away from the PCB and the components.

So if the gigabyte card sounds like it cools better why do you recommend the asus card?

ASUS uses their DirectCUII cooler which is also very effective when it comes to cooling.
It keeps the card 20% cooler and 3x quieter (that's what is says on the box)
Get whichever one is cheaper and you will have an awesome GPU.
Try to look for the Sapphire R9 270.Sapphire is the best when it comes to AMD cards.

Apparently the asus card dosent cool the VRAM well so ill probably get the gigabyte card I think

there are lots of brands to choose from but the difference is very very narrow so its best you go for the cheaper one or which you like the best ........if u want the best among the r9 270 then go for this one its its has the highest clock speed among all....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202111&cm_re=r9_270-_-14-202-111-_-Product
