My gosh. The 270x's have been pretty easy to get here locally. I have this thing about getting stuff like this locally if I can if the price is around what I could get online.
With that said, the Best buy here has been selling the XFX R9 270x's for around 230 bucks and I dont think that is all bad. Now here is the funny thing. I bought 5 of these cards, and noticed on my last pick up that these ones were VS 2.0, I went home and looked at the other boxes and they were vs 1. the heatsink of course is not the same ect ect... and think the version 2 looks a lot better.
Anyways, I get em set up, now with the vs one cards, Ill be damn if I can get the stupid things to go over 430kh ... I have played around with them a ton. Another thing I noticed was that when I up the mem clock, they hash goes up, but as soon as I move the GPU speed up it hurts and the hash goes down, so I end up underclocking the GPU and upping the mem speed on them.
Then, I get the vs 2 going, they are the exact opposites of the vs 1's. The only thing is that when i bump up the memclock, it does not seem to do a whole heck of a lot. On the other hand when I go with upping the GPU speed the speed increases a ton. I was just amazed. Those right now are hitting around 470khash, and I could get more but giving some time to settle to make sure. Plus they run about 5 to 7 C cooler than the vs 1.
With that said, any clues on if maybe it might be the bios in the vs 1? I have never in my life flashed a video card before... how hard is it to do and do you think maybe that is what the hold up is on the vs 1 cards?
