I am looking to buy myself a new graphics card and my maximum budget is 250 US dollars. In my budget range there are 2 video card coming namely the MSI R9 270X 2GB and the Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X Windforce OC 2GB DDR5. I will be using this card for gaming purpose and some video editing as well. Can anyone tell me which one will be the best among these two cards? Also tell me whether I will require to change my Corsair 550W power supply for the same? Thanks
If you can check the technical information on the MSI R9 270X graphics card then you will find that it has 100 mhz higher core clock in its Overclocking mode and thus you can expect a better performance in it. The MSI card is also not that long in length compared to the Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X card and it will easily fit in any mid tower case. Most of the other things are almost the same for both graphics cards.
I would suggest you to get the Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X because it is the best in all aspects if you compare it within the same series of different brands. This Gigabyte card has better cooling and it can be also made noiseless if you can use the MSI Afterburner software. The price of this card is also good and fits in your budget. The cooling solution on the MSI Radeon R9 270X is not that good. However both will offer the same gameplay I suppose.
