What should i choose

[kanavaras]

I have 2 videocards in my mind right now and i can dont know wich one to choose:
1) XFX Radeon R9 270 Double Dissipation / 2GB GDDR5 / Ghost2
2)GIGA-BYTE VGA PCIE16 HD7870 2GB GDDR5
7870 has better clock speed (1100)
R9 270 has better memory clock (5600)
what should i choose 😛

R9 270 is a little faster than a 7870, its close to a 7950. Don't get an XFX though, they run hotter than most of the other brands.

The website says the 7870 is a tad bit better in everything except memory bandwidth.

But, still, I'd go for the R9 270 just because it's newer hardware. In all honesty, you'll never tell the difference after you get one.

Effective memory clock of 7870 is less than the R9 270. But its core clock is high as compared to R9 270.

I would recommend R9 270 because there is hardly a difference between 1050 MHz and 950 MHz but effective memory speed of 5600MHz will cover it up.
