7950 replacement.

Hi guys,

My 7950 has failed and I've been offered a r9 270 as a warranty replacement. However, that's a lower spec isn't it? I thought the r9 280 would be a like for like replacement now? Card was a msi twin frozr 3gb oc edition

Any thoughts?

Doesn't sound like a reasonable replacement to me. I would contest that decision.

+ 1 - R280 is more like for like

That's what I thought

yes too low. 280 minimum

Who makes the best 280s? Don't fancy another msi after the trouble with the 7950

I like Gigabyte.

Gigabyte or ASUS

7950 vs 270
