XFX Double D Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card R9-270X-CDFC
XFX Double D Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card R9-270X-CDFC

Pros: Great performance runs way better than I had expected , Have had no trouble with heating , gets up around 60 c during heavy gaming in a well ventilated case . I replaced two XFX 7750s crossfired and expected an improvement and it was much better than I had expected 40 to 100 fps BF4 ultra settings and runs smooth , I will eventually move up to a R9 280x or higher and when I do it will be an XFX card , very impressed.

Cons: none looks nice works great

Overall Review: Puff the Magic Dragon is a weird song for children when you think about it.

GIGABYTE Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R927XOC-2GD

Pros: I picked this card after weeks of reading reviews and really wanted an overclockable card to crossfire and one that cools well -I am not disappointed .Despite several reviews I have read online this card runs quiet and cool . The quiet part is subjective,I drive hot rods and have fired weapons and used explosives for 20 plus years of my career - you may be more sensitive than I to the fans , that said my son has a fresh set of ears and says this plus it's crossfired sibling is quieter than his GTX 770 with two fans- so take that for what its worth. I am more than happy with it's performance Cooling is great I have what I consider a well ventilated but not extreme case all on air - four 140 mm ventilation fans a 212 evo with another 140 this card and it's partner, a competing company's version of the same card with two fans . Under heavy load and benchmarking neither card got over 58c I was astounded ; I honestly believe this card is helping to cool the secondary card because the secondary card run by itself actually got up to 65 c plus running the same tasks before my purchase of this card . Sure I would have liked to have bought a R9 290 X but the budget was not there so I picked up my first R9 270 X then this card to crossfire and I am very pleased . Crossfired Gets 300 points higher than my sons GTX 770 4G Oc'ed in Heaven and 20 more fps, that will change when he gets his second card for Christmas but I am really happy with this setup . The Crossfire setup gets 90 to 138 FPS in BF4 all maxxed ultra settings. by itself it gets 40 to 85 FPS on same settings. I would recommend this as the best price/performance card on the market for the foreseeable future in my opinion it is a home run 200 dollar price point third model R9 series card stands alone in my book and I did consider going with the competition but at the price the R9 270 X really stands out .

Cons: I really don't see any .

Overall Review: I have to say if you are in the market for a sub 300 dollar card this is the one to have.I love it.

LOGISYS Computer AT750BK 750 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Nice finish,plenty of power ,long cables and runs quiet.

Cons: To be honest I needed a 700 w plus power supply quick and cheap due to the fact that I purchased a second R9 270 X to crossfire and had only a 500 w in my system and that was not sufficient to get up and running . My Budget was tight so I opted to get the Logisys 750 It is powering the Crossfire setup fine and I am more than satisfied with the performance. The only drawback is cable management really need a power supply with four 6-8 pin connectors and this only has two (that said I knew that when I purchased so was not expecting different) minus one star for cluttered case but that is the only con .

Overall Review: More than enough power and is working great. If you are running multiple cards this will work fine but cables get a bit messy so aesthetically it takes a hit . would prefer better cable management.
