AMD Radeon R9 270X
The AMD Radeon R9 270X is ideal for gaming up to Full HD (1920*1080) resolution and it can handle the latest games on medium and high settings depending on the game. With the 300 Watt TDP it can be hot under load, and you have to wear headset to ignore the fan noise. We recommend an Intel i5 or similar CPU and 8 GB of RAM for an optimal gaming performance, and it requires at least 600W PSU.The performance per price ratio is one of the best in it’s category, so we can strongly recommend if this card fits into your budget.
