if you can, go for the TOP edition by asus...that will be around 16k but totally worth the extra money spent...

I think TOP version is factory overclocked and even if it gets damaged, warranty will be honored. Whereas, the DC2 model has lower clock frequencies and if u damage it while overclocking it to TOP version, you won't get warranty..

In India, you will get warranty for everything. They are not gonna check at which speed the card was running during damage. Also look For the HIS Ice Q2 version of the 270X too. That card is also a hell of overclocker and slimmer than DC II card.

OK but I am not that much of an Overclocker and I love Asus so I think I will go for one unless HiS is reasonably less in price than Asus

One question though.

I have this cabinet. Will the Asus R9 270X fit in this

COOLER MASTER CABINET ELITE 431 PLUS

Let me tell you the way to check this:

> Open the cabinet's specifications on the manufacturer's website and note the value for "max graphic card length".
> Now open the specifications for the graphic card on the manufacturer's website and check the card's length.
> If card's length is shorter than cabinet's "max card length", it will fit, else it won't.
