Which R270 card to get?

[ANDARIAL]

I am currently using the onboard gfx on a 4670 cpu
don`t game a huge amount anymore,too old lol
Been playing L4D recently and some HL2 and would like something that I can crank up the image quality and frame rates abit
Budget £150 ish maybe a tad more
Been out of the game for a while so don`t know which to look at or avoid
recommendation please

If you can stretch to a 270X then I'd recommend this Asus model, it has a v quiet cooler

Don`t fancy ASUS gfx,had a flagship model years ago cost me over£400 attt,nothing but trouble

Got a gigabyte mobo so might go for that one linked to,suppose I could sell the game on?is it a code or cd/dvd?
Assuming you CAN SELL it on
Thanks so far

it's a download voucher, yes you can sell it. should go for 20-25.

well the Gigabyte model is also highly recommended, its windforce cooler is a well proven effective solution

Pity that Gigabyte card is not on deal of the week
Thanks for the suggestions guys,I think the gigabyte one it is

If you want silent card, the MSI Gaming Edition is worth a shout, it runs warmer than the Gigabyte one but the two big land low spinning fans make hardly any noise.

Lots of R270 and R270X cards in the sale this week... which would you recommend at these prices?
Also, do these cards support Trueaudio or not?

The 270 doesn't.

I got a Gigabyte 270X 4Gb card when it was reduced and I'm well chuffed with it, mainly that I avoided the MSI cards (so many threads about them) and also that I went for the 4Gb not the 2Gb, as playing ArmA3 is using well over 2.

I've concluded that the 260 and 290 cards support True Audio but not the 270 cards.
I was about to get the vanilla flavour r270 MSI card for £131 but then read all the posts about leaking fluid bearings, I know it would be covered by warranty but I don't want the hassle.
