I am thinking of going for R9 270 as my next GPU. But i am confused on which brand to go with.
I checked in with MD computers and Vedant in Kolkata here. Vedant have HIS which is newly launched here while MD computers have HIS, ASUS and SAPPHIRE. HIS is of the lowest price, ASUS the highest while SAPPHIRE in between.

The setback with HIS for me personally is that it is giving DLDVI-I + HDMI + 2xMini DP while ASUS and SAPPHIRE is giving the stock Dual-Link DVI-D, HDMI (with 3D), Dual-Link DVI-I. Nd my monitor has Dual-Link DVI-D.

Also which one shall be better for OC.

Please suggest.
