Overall and Final Verdict
So at the end of the day, where does the MSI R9 270X Gaming stand against the competition? Well compared to other 270X’s it could use a little higher overclock to compete, but its performance as a whole only falls in just slightly below the others. What I really do love about this card over the others is its cooling design. The Twin Frozr cooling not only performed well but still impresses me every chance I get to check it out. In this case the black and red theme is especially eye catching as well and makes me want to put together an entire build just to match it. If on the market for an R9 270X MSI’s gaming edition would be on my short list, especially when you consider that it falls in on the cheap side of things with an MSRP of $199.99. Bundle that with the recently introduced deal that will get you a free copy of Battlefield 4 and you really have a great value for a quality card.
