r9 270x 4gb vs r9 280x

[PhantomGeeks]

Hey , I am getting a new gpu but I want to start making YouTube videos so I need to save Money, so it the 270x 4gb any good? I want to mainly play bf4, cod ghost and I will like to do a lot of video editing so do I get the 270x and buy a pro Mic or get a 280x and get a entry level Mic?
Thanks for reading.

If you're just at 1080p the R9 270x will be plenty for a few years. And then you can crossfire it when you need more juice.

I see little benefit from 4gb vs. 2gb of vram.

If your editing can use the CUDA capabilities of Nvidia, you might look at one of their cards.

The 280x is 3gb and the equivalent nvidia gpu is more expensive.

The 270x is the same as the 7870 and I can't even max BF4, nevermind in a few years I know I'm going to be back at low graphics. lol.

According to these benchmarks you'll get 35 fps with AAx4 on. Disable that if you need more.
