Just looking for a good card for my rig and the Gigabyte radeon was suggested by someone on reddit instead of me getting the sapphire.

Easily the R9 290. It has 40 cores vs 20 of the 270x, so twice the performance.

They are both good cards. naturally, the 290 will be faster. Just be sure you have a good quality PSU that can handle the card you choose.

+1 for the 290.

The sapphire is more expensive but it has a better cooling system.

The R9 290 is a much much beefier card.
