And so is the flaw. People want to use cryptocurrencies to avoid paying taxes, or buying/selling illegal content, no government is interested to know what you do with your 1bn after you had paid taxes(maybe brazil), so most people who are using it are either criminals or those who want to be a millionaire overnight doing absolutely nothing(electricity bills and hardware costs extra), so there's no guarantee that the other side will hold on to the deal.

There was a news recently... where someone was found dead. The guy was a prominent figure in this bitcoining scenario, dont remember correctly.

wtf i just bought my 280x..............

And when R9 300 launches you'll find out your 280x is still very good vfm. Don't think R9 380x having 2x+ performance of 280x will launch at same price.

Scaling is good enough across games except BF4?!, WTF

PNY GTX 780 XLR8 OC Really impressive figures, especially when pitted against 290X


Even in Hybrid CF 295X2 and 290X, scaling has improved a lot

Is R9 270 worth the bump in price over R9 265 in performance per dollar?

 

[Pasapa]

[true_lies]

Thats performance per currency spent.... meaning how much value for money it is.
And hat I was asking anyways.

 

[Pasapa]

for 13k r9 270 is a steal, go for it...

 

[Piyush]

Sorry it was 15K

13K for 265 here

 

[rijinpk1]

Sorry it was 15K

13K for 265 here

you can get 270x for 15.5k, so better choose 265 or 270x.

it should handle 270x perfectly fine. make sure you do not overclock anything.
