  1. Its a nice card and I love the DC II cooler, but I think the price is a little high, even with battlefield 4.

  2. ERAN – asus are always more expensive, but they build their cards better

  3. They dont really need the 270 and 270x, just drop the price of the 270x and they could clean up in the market. too many cards right now and its too complicated.

  4. Good performance and at least the shaders are up to 1280 over 1024 on the 7850. Only thing I feel is that AMD partners will sell the 270x at very close to 270 pricing, so not much point in having both. $20 difference? who will buy a 270 – feels like the 6830 and 6850 all over again. the cheaper part never sold as retail prices were so close.
