Lets talk video cards

[6FtUnder]

Ok my XI friends. I am looking to update my video card.

I am running a amd 990 board and a 460 gtx card currently

So I was thinking between the              MSI GXT 750 Ti       or the              MSI Radeon R9 270     or the MSI Radeon R9 280 with 3 gig of mem

I have reviewed several web reveiew sites and several bench marking sites as well

The R9 270 beat the 750 Ti on everything except clock speed overclocking.

But what I want is real world gamer opinions that have used both cards  anybody got a clue.

I will say with my AMD chipset and what I,ve seen so far I am leaning towards the  R9 270

So what do you got for me

I am all AMD and I like the 270x with 4 gig ram

I have amd too and got an R9 270x sapphire 4GB and it runs cod4 mw on max settings. Even complex maps gets around 150 fps minimum.

 

Ps. When I was looking into cards, the R9 270x was the best value for money.

 

Futuremark was pretty helpful in making my mind up.

Hey 6,

 

Here is a site that might help you make a decision..

If your going to spend $170 you might consider buying a used 670 or 680. Even though older cards still awesome.... Or even consider new 760.

Heres the thing about the AMD R9 series

 I was reading online that a lot of people running AMD boards were having problems with the R9 card and had to do a bio,s update to fix.

I don't know if my board supports it

Heres my specs

 Asus Crosshair V Formula ver 1.01 board bio,s 1703

 FX 8150 Cpu with CoolerMaster Evo 212 cooler

16 gigs of Gskill Ripjaw 1600 MHz ram

Amd Raedon R 7  240 gig SSD

Cooler Master 850 watt PS

Win 8.1 64 bit

Nvidia 460 GTX video card

So will it work with the R9 amd card or goto the Nvidia card both have 2 gig mem and close in sprcs. Just thought an all AMD pc might work well together.

That may be what's causing my "out of memory" problem. I'll try a bios update.
