One of them has 2 GB of GDDR5 and the other has 4 GB

The Radeon R9 270X graphics card is supposed to be the one bridging the gap between the mainstream segment and the high end, but one of the two models that Club 3D just released kind of dismisses that purpose entirely.

That's because it has 4 GB of GDDR5 instead of 2 GB. Which is to say, one of the Club 3D Radeon R9 270X RoyalQueen boards has the standard 2 GB capacity and the other has twice as much.

That's the only difference between them really. Everything else, from the specs to the dual-fan cooler, is the same in both cases.

That said, the prices are of around $200 / €150, or will be once shipments begin. The 4 GB board should be a few tens of dollars/euro more expensive.
