>>The card is performing very well with the Radeon graphics. I was previously using an nvidia gt 740 cardwith of course nvidia drivers. I took out this card and replaced it with the R9-270X. For web surfing and watching DVDs and general computer use the performance seems to be the same with the R9-270X card. It seems to speed up getting to the desktop after login with the Radeon drivers.
