Hi guys

So I can get the following for about the same price. Not really willing to go for a higher budget than these two:

ASUS R 9 270x DC2T
http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/R9270XDC2T2GD5/

MSI R 9 270x GAMING 2G
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R9_270X_GAMING_2G.html#hero-overview

So, ignoring price, which is better ASUS or MSI?

From what I can see in online benchmarks the MSI has a better cooler. Other than that they seen almost identical.

Any advice will be appreciated.

I'd probably take the Asus out of those two.

What's your budget though?

Have you seen?

About R 2 800, some of my friends have had bad experiences with Powercolor. So I am a little bit skeptical.

Well I have had 0 bad experiences. Bought 3 off their cards already.
 
Same here with powercolor, no complaints.


And avoid Rickster's advice on anything involving MSI.
 
SO the general consensus is to rather go for the Powercolor R 9 285?

Get the highest performing powercolor card your budget allows. If you are willing to go second hand with warranty still intact you would get something even better on carbonite.
 
Thanks for all the replies guys. Going to go with the R 9 285.
