I had one of this up until recently - a very capable low budget card, but you need to be carefull with texture quality settings in games (2 GB of VRAM is not much, so in this price range 4 GB models of RX 550 / 560 are usually better). Nice video, thx,

@@victorspencer4885 Thanks for the comment. The RX 560 has what it takes to replace the R9 270, and it would be my choice, if prices are indeed the same; the 550 leaves the impression of a weaker card. Thing is, a 4 GB RX 560 has a higher price than the R9 270, at least in my neck of the woods. Now, the DX12 feature level and the driver support is worth the price difference, if you ask me. So yes, if you can afford the 560, go for that one.

As always an extraordinary video, my friend, though I never understood why have a 270 which is basically the same as 270x, but I guess marketing is not logical. 🤔

@@gaming.teacher Thanks for the comment. Both 270 and 270X use the same Pitcairn chip as the HD7870. The difference is in binning; the chips selected for the 270X were then clocked at 1000MHz and a bit more, while the lower bin was used at 925 MHz max, as the 270.

@@oldertechtoday I know that but watching an old LTT, they managed to overclock it almost as fast as the 270x while it was cheaper, thus making the better buy, if you got lucky with the silicon lottery.
