i have recently bought ESO and would like to play it on ultra graphic settings.

my current graphics card is: ATI Radeon HD 5670

i have been looking into getting something like amd radeon 7750 2gb but when i search for that i come up with card like Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X OC 2gb

what i would like to know is what does R9 270X Dual-X mean? how do i compare it to something like the amd radeon 7750?

and please if u can think of a better card to get let me know. my price range is around $200

sorry if any of this is confusing or isnt right i dont know much about this

Ok, the Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X OC 2gb is a graphics card and the amd radeon HD 7750 is also a graphics card. If your price range is $200, go for the Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X OC 2gb as it will clearly beat the AMD radeon HD 7750.

The Dual-X means that there are 2 fans on the graphics card so it runs cooler. And the OC will give you better performance.

It doesnt get any simpler than this

r9 270x is the best choice at $200. Dual-X means that it comes with 2 fans instead of one, and the oc means that is runs at a higher clock so it gives you better performance and temps than the original 270x.

And the r9 270x will demolish a 7750
