R9 270x, which of these choose?

Hello, I'm trying to decide which R9 270x buy, and I've found three models with very similar prices, around 165€ - 170€:

-HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ Boost Clock 2 GB DDR5

-VTX3D Radeon R9 270X Boost Dual X-Edition 2GB DDR5

-Asus Radeon R9 270x DirectCu II 2GB DDR5

Of course, I would prefer the Asus one, because it is a well know brand, but I have not found many reviews of this version. I have find of the Top version, but I don't know if there is a big difference. And the same with the other two.

With similar features I prefer the quietest, and I have read that the Asus is noisy, it's true?

Also I have the possibility of buy the SAPPHIRE TECHNOLOGY R9 270 Dual-X OC Boost for 20 € less than the R9 270, but I don't know if it is worth save this money or not.

Thanks a lot.

There is about 5% performance difference between the 270 and the 270X basically meaning all the same games will be playable at the same settings so up to you if you want to save the money. But back to the 270X cards I would go with the Asus as well regardless of lack of reviews.

Their performance is basically equivalent here, the R9 270X will be fine, it's mainly quality, I'd personally go for ASUS considering most of their products when it comes to gpus and such don't have a loud fan and keep the GPU cool enough.
