Title: SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB DDR5 OC vs SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 4G DDR5 OC BOOS
Post by: elavenil on March 11, 2014, 10:54:54 PM
Which one to purchase?

SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB DDR5 OC
SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD DUAL-X R9 270X 4GB DDR5 OC BOOST ($32 costly)

Is there any hash difference between these two? Price difference is $32.

I don't believe that RAM has much (if anything) to do with hash.

I have eight of the 2GB 270x cards and get a consistent 470Kh/s out of each.  Some claim as much as 500Kh/s.  I tried but couldn't keep them stable so 470Kh/s is good for me.  You can get them for around $209 on Amazon with free prime shipping if you wait for actual Amazon.com stock and don't pay the scalpers.
