Pretty sure it's the higher clocks. They're basically the same card though. If the 380 is cheaper, buy it. It's a much better card.
A 380 gets about 20% better performance over a 270X... You might be thinking of the 370, which is lower clocked.
Tell him to head to London travel around the M25 till he hits the M4 then tell him to hit the M6 and never leave it till Junction 13 on the M74 (the Scottish version of the M6) and then never leave the A701 and eh voila EDINBURGH! Junction 13 is the Abingdon Turnoff last year I had that turnoff shut down because of about 25 trucks all stuck on the uphill slope to the junction to me it was the downhill slope to the junction 1 tweet to Traffic scotland and the army got there to help the truckers out...
Not really, the 270X is discontinued, so it doesn't have a proper market price anymore. 300 series is also much cheaper since it's entirely re-branded GPUs.
Except he isnt going by car. He's now there, via chinook helicopter courtesy of the royal airforce, aka, his employer.
Oh wow...yeah I could see him doing that, that would be so funny seeing a Chinook flying over edinburgh and dropping a guy off at Edinburgh Airport xD, I wonder what the ATC transcript would be like!

Posting this message from Kubuntu dual booted form my PC, I have also installed nvidia drivers. I have also checked windows and it still works which is pretty nice.
I've decided on an R9 380. For just 30 bucks more I could play Star Wars battlefront well over 60 Fps.
Marketing? But in all honesty it depends. In terms of hardware itself they are very different. In terms of software they are very different. In terms of features they are similar. In terms of performance they are about the same.
Depends on which GPUs. Generally speaking, the latest Nvidia cards are much more efficient and have better driver/feature support, while AMD cards have better value. Some AMD cards are much cheaper than their Nvidia counterparts, for example a 390X is $100 less than a 980. But the 390 costs about the same as a 970 and has similar performance, while using twice as much power and exhausting a lot more heat.
They're the same thing - CUDA is a marketing name. Also a GPU programming language for GPU compute tasks. Nvidia supports CUDA, AMD does not, you have to use OpenCL. That only matters if you're a programmer working with GPU compute though.
