R9 270X from Sapphire

[M3lsheR]

Hello.
I have a question about the GPU i'm going to get which is:
Sapphire R9 270x.
i don't know what is the difference between the Vapor-X, Dual-X, Toxic,and BF4 Edition etc.

Is it some sort of cooling method difference? like does the Vapor-X version use Vapor Chambers and the Dual-X use Dual heat pipes?
please let me know and tell me which one should i get (Vapor-X or Dual-X) due to the fact that the Toxic edition is pretty expensive (where i live).

The Dual-X is their basic heatpipe cooler. Its a good value. It still is a 270X, I would recommend this version if you are on a budget.

The Vapor-X uses a vapor chamber system to transfer heat away from the GPU itself. I personally have this one but I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not.

The Toxic is their top of the line cooler and has better clocks. Also, you may be able to overclock it further than the rest. I don't recommend it, as the price increase over the Dual-X might not be worth the 3-4 additional frames you can get out of it.

The clocks are a little higher for each tier you go up. Overall, I would say go with the Dual-X. If the price difference is minimal, the Vapor-X is good too. It seems like it is a better build card and also nicer looking.

Thanks for the suggestion, i'll totally go for the Vapor-X i heard the Vapor Chambers are way better in cooling and can extend the lifetime of the card.
It is only a 150 EGP difference which is like 21$

I doubt it will extend the life of your card, but if $21 does not bother you, then go ahead. Its a nicer looking and seems a better built card anyway.
