Title: Buy 5 R9-270 OC, 3 R9-280X for ~750€ or just let them go? Post by: Wipeout2097 on January 23, 2014, 07:48:27 AM Both are Sapphires. The 270's come with Battlefield 4, so I'd get 5 BF4 coupons. :P
I expect 700 Kh/s out of the 280x, but the 270s may be lemons with slow, high latency vram. I'd get 400 Kh/s instead of 470 like the Gigabyte R9-270 OC offers. Is this a good deal in the first place considering the upfront cost, power cost in E.U. and the incoming ASICs, or should I forget about it?
