This GPU is in my opinion the best for the price. It gives you nice high settings in almost all games for only $200. Msi also has their twin frozer fans which make it extremely quiet. Even if you are a Nvidia fan you have to admit this is the best performance for the price.

Pros: *Quiet* - This thing is quiet, I've used mostly reference card coolers with the blower style cooler and I have to say that the difference is striking. Those are generally loud, some of them can be as loud as hair dryers if you accidentally kick the fan up to 100%. This thing is barely audible over quiet case fans when manually stuck at 56% *Powerful* - For the price this think packs a punch @1080p. Less shaders than more expensive cards (280x, etc) make this card much more oriented towards 1080p gamers than higher resolution gamers who should look for cards with more shaders and memory. That being said this thing handles 1080p extremely well and thrives at it, I'd give more specifics but that's what sites like anandtech and techpowerup are for. If you're reading this you've probably already decided to get a 270x, you're just not sure which one. *Cool* - Did I mention the cooler yet? It's good at cooling the card; running it at my custom 56% and mining at 1149core/1500memory it's sitting at 57C in a decently ventilated case. *Mining* - Good for the price; I can get ~485KH/s LTC running about 140 watts (depending on PSU efficiency) on the card so far. Definitely not bad for the price, and add the fact that it runs so cool and quiet means you've got a great card for the casual miner. It won't wake your neighbors and leave them wondering why there's a helicopter in the neighborhood while you're mining like my reference 7970 will. *Voltage control* - I've never owned MSI before but I have to admit that I'm liking the company quite a bit so far. They let you control the boost voltage, something most companies don't do anymore. Lots of cards are voltage locked, this one isn't.Read more ›

I bought this card back in November and it worked great till about a month ago. I had to send it back to MSI for repairs which took no longer then 15 days as the website stated. It's been over a month and I still don't have my video card back from repairs. They sent me a couple emails offering a low-ball refund because they said they don't have the parts or product in stock to replace it.
So now I am out a video card I never know when I'll get back. MSI support just seems horrible, I will never buy another prodcut from them again.
Not when there are good companies like XFX and Gigabyte that will just send you a free upgrade because they actually care about the customer.

It's hard to beat this card at the 200 dollar pricepoint. I used this in a budget 500 dollar build and can play everything @ 1080 on high with hardly any frame drops. It does need to be put on medium/high settings for Battlefield 4 or Crysis 3 but handles everything else without any issues. Excellent cooling system as well, it has been used for ~3 hours at a time without any overheating issues.

Lots of folks bought the Dell XPS 8300 a few years ago and are now due to upgrade the video card to handle newer games and programs. I ran an ATI 5770 in this box since it was purchased, and wanted to maximize the video capability within the limits of the 8300's 460 Watt power supply and 2 6 pin power leads. This card seemed to be the top choice and it has proven to be just so. It is very stable even with the factory overclock, and remained stable with some additional overclocking that I tried but found unnecessary. Be warned that this is a long card, you need a full size case or tower like the 8300 to fit this card.

Excellent GPU. I tried a ASUS Nvidia GTX660 first. This card is much better and quieter in my opinion. I read this card is about equal to a HD 7870, but windows 8.1 first installed a driver for a HD 8800, so I installed the R9270x drivers and it works flawlessly. Works on ultra settings for the games I play (COD:Ghosts,AC/Blacklist,etc). Under a heavy load. The ASUS sounded like a 747 taking off. This MSI runs very cool and very quietly. I highly recommend this card.

Great cards *when and if they work* temps are manageable even when overclocked, and these cards do overclock well. 2 of them in crossfire perform on par with a titan for less than half the cost.
Fan life seems questionable and I'll elaborate. I purchased 2 of these cards in April 2014 and by May both cards needed to be RMA'd for fan failure.
The reason this is one star is that I bought these cards in May, and it is now august 30th and I still don't have two working cards.
My first RMA came back working, temps were a bit high but livable. The second RMA card was scratched up and DOA. The third RMA card has lots of damage to the heatsinc ( there is a section of about 9 fins bent in at a 60 degree angle about half an inch deep) and the card is artifacting like mad. At this point I have lost most if not all of my faith in MSI's RMA and quality control staff. Sending the card back for my 4th RMA, and at 2-3 weeks per RMA I do not anticipate having a working system almost for what will be a continuous 5 months. If I ever do get a working card back from them, I will be selling these cards as quickly as I can. I don't have any more faith to put in this brand.
