Hi all
Just wondering, at the same price, which would be the better buy for decryption and light/medium gaming:
HD7950 3GB or R9 270 2GB ?
*EDIT*
Found this: http://golubev.com/gpuest.htm
If that still holds true, I guess the question becomes if the R9 270 offers anything in regards to sporadic light/medium gaming over the HD7950, being a newer architecture etc?
*EDIT2*
Reading a bit more, it seems like the R9 280 is the re-branded 7950, so getting the 7950 for almost half the price of the R9 280 seems like a good deal
