Get the 2GB.

If you're at 1080p it should affect you atall.

Yeah, 2gb should be good. I'd get a normal 270 as the X is just overclocked and that's pretty much it.

I know most R9 cards are just re-branded old card, like the 7970 is the 280x
what card as been re-branded to make a 270

7970 = 280X
7950 = 280(non-x)
7870 = 270X
7850 = 270(non-X)
