Graphic Card Upgrade
August 4th, 2016
I Currently been with my Ati HD 5770 for 3 years now and having played battlefield 4,im impress it could play on medium. However, its time for me to upgrade my graphic card.
I have been doing some research and was wondering if Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Dual-X Boost OC AMD Graphics Card 2GB Graphics Card would make a difference.
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Dual-X Boost OC AMD Graphics Card 2GB Graphics Card : http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/AMD+Radeon/Radeon+R9+270/Sapphire+Radeon+R9+270X+Dual-X+Boost+OC+AMD+Graphics+Card+2GB+Graphics+Card+?productId=57842
My Budget is around �150.
Specification:
Amd fx 6300
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
8gb ddr3 1333
2 tera Hdd
Sapphire HD 5770 1gb
Antec True Power 600W
Thanks
You would see a huge improvement getting that card since its like a re-branded between 7950 and 7970.
Would suggest you invest in a 3gb gpu since games these days are using that much for high fps.
Its a good card.
I went for the Vapor-X OC with Boost.
Very quiet and doesn’t warm up the room as much.
Good Buy,Go For it
Nice card, also look at these reviews about the R9 to see where the GPU is at http://www.techpowerup.com/reviewdb/Graphics-Cards/AMD/R9-270X/
Thank for the help guys. However what is the difference between Dual-X Boost OC and the Vapor-X OC with Boost? Which is better?
Looks good, go for it
Thank for the help guys. However what is the difference between Dual-X Boost OC and the Vapor-X OC with Boost? Which is better?
Vapor-x card has very good Cooler which reduces temperatures(10-20 degrees than reference card)
Just Go For Vapor-x Version
Thank for the help guys. However what is the difference between Dual-X Boost OC and the Vapor-X OC with Boost? Which is better?
Vapor-X has a custom GPU heatsink, which lowers temperatures, thus increasing the GPU life OR increases the probability of better overclocks. It really depends what you are looking to get out of your card.
I’d say it’s a pretty good buy. What resolution are you using?
That what it said on their website. IMO the dual x can cool better but that also depend on your setup.
The Dual X will blow the heat into your case which you will need good ventilation. (know as Open Air) <– cool your gpu better than the blower but need good vent —
The Vapor X will blow the heat out into the back. Taking air from inside the case. (Known as Blower)

I will be using 1080p (1920×1080) for gaming and graphic work as i do graphic design and after effects. However gaming is the main purpose.
