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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. http://www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu/AMD+Radeon+R9+270X/review Edited December 7, 2014 by {MFF}Blaze{GS} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though older cards still awesome.... Or even consider new 760. Regards, DogYears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try a bios update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
