what if i don't overclock?

[ezekielzick]

i've been asking a couple of times about pc builds and stuff, but i still forgot to ask about the gfx card overclocking...

i have 3 gfx card option, r9 270x dual-x(cheapest), r9 270x toxic(higher price) and gigabyte r9 270x oc edition(not sure if it's windforce or there's other type, but it's fairly cheap)

i still don't know what to choose... i don't overclock and i really wanted to play high/ultra settings without thinking of a major fps drop issue. i don't really know if the gap of the fps between these gfx are large or small.

thanks in advance..

i'm actually in a different location and the r9 280 gfx card is a bit expensive here that's why my only choice is one of those 3 gfx cards. just wanted to know which one is the most effective even if i don't overclock and can play high/ultra settings and what would be the estimated difference of fps with each one.

Sapphire Radeon R9 270 Dual-X 2 GB - 5692 points
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Toxic Tri-X 2 GB - 6694
Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X Windforce OC 2 GB -6782
Sapphire R9 270X should be 5692 x 1.1(faster) = 6261

The result of Sspphire R9 270X was missing but we may approx. estimate it . As wee can see the difference between the three cards is little . This could be seen even from base/boost clock comparison .

Moreover , i dont like larg cards . For me Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Dual-X is enough . But as you wish .

i found this much cheaper r9 270x and it's his r9 270x iceq x2, and when i tried to compare this with gigabyte r9 270x windforce, the iceq one is a bit higher in performance but unnoticeable. but i need your opinion with this gfx card, it might be good as far as price and performance are concern but it might not last long or has some defects or whatsoever.

to be honest, your not going to feel the 200-500mhz core clock differences that you see in these cards. it really amounts to about 2-4fps in most games which is not enough to make or break a game. i would just get whichever one is cheapest from sapphire, msi, gigabyte or asus.

The HIS 270x is a decent card and good performer. I tend to like Sapphire best.
If the price deference is large, the HIS is a good deal.
