As title says looking at buying R9 270 preferably a MSI. Also would be interested in something of similar performance to hold me over till the new AMD cards
I've a Sapphire Dual-X R9 270 that I bought from Newegg in March-April 2014 and used for a couple of months in my gaming rig for mining.
Needless to say, since it was in my gaming rig it was run in a controlled environment under-volted and kept relatively cool. I ran it for about 2 months in all.
