I am looking for a new GPU and my cousin said to wait for the aftermarket radeon r9 cards because I was thinking about a 270. Are these the ones produced by MSI and asus and other manufacturers with different cooling and specs, because if so are they not already out (and if not when will they be?), Thanks.
gpu's can't be after market. coolers, pcb and others can be 3rd party. what your cousin told you was to wait till r9 cards with custom cooling system (heatsink and fans) and/or custom pcb and probably factory tweaked settings. there's a significant price difference between higher end r9 cards and r9 270. what is your full pc specifications and budget?
latest rumor is 3rd party customized r9 290 cards will come out before r9 290x cards. amd already has custom r9 280x, 270x and 270 cards on the market. you need to specify which r9 cards you're comparing with your early-chosen 270.
