"With that said while this isn’t necessarily a head-to-head article between the 280X Toxic and the Asus 280X DirectCU II TOP, it’s a logical comparison we have to make given the fact that both are factory overclocked 280X cards shooting for strong out of the box performance. For gaming workloads the 280X Toxic cleanly and clearly beats the Asus card here by a meaningful performance amount. However Asus is absolutely a spoiler here due to their aggressive pricing and their very quiet cooler. Their 280X DCUII TOP can’t match the Toxic, but it’s $40 cheaper and over 5dB quieter. Consequently if all you want is the fastest 280X on the market then Sapphire’s 280X Toxic is clearly the card to get, otherwise the Asus card is worth a consideration for its better price/performance ratio and cooling performance. As is almost always the case for factory overclocked cards there is a price to pay for the very fastest card, both in literal cost and in power and acoustics."

Both are good.
I'd go for a cheaper one unless there's one feature you really want on the card which the other doesn't have.

2yr vs 3 yr warranty. depends on user peace of mind. lower $$ spent or better peace on 3 yr usage.

Asus Offer 3 years right?

Yeap. if you do not chg your gpu often, 3 yrs is better. also, asus(gay/msi) has higher resale value due to the additional 1 yr warranty.

Wow that's interesting thanks a lot for the tips dude

Dude,how about the GIGABYTE R9 280X 3X windforce?

Np, sharing is caring especially to poor fag like us that can't do WC or getting Arctic WC.

My HD 6850 is failing randomly lately and I'm thinking of getting a replacement with current R200 series.
If my current card isn't acting up, I'd prefer to wait until next gen before considering an upgrade.

Need some recommendation with which card to get considering I'm a 1080p gamer who appreciate game details and has a budget of around 1k (preferably sub 1k).

I have a family PC which my bro game usually and it's running HD 4670. I'm thinking of getting a R7 260X to replace my HD 6850 that's with minor hiccup randomly while waiting for next Radeon card and then throwing R7 260X to my family pc replacing that HD 4670 and getting a new one myself which is closer to R9 280X in terms of performance.

What do you guys think?

Anyway, what's up with R9 280 and R9 270 non X?

Sure, but when Gigabyte Card will arrive.

My pc is Graphic Card less now..

we got it already

Should I get the 280x toxic or a matrix 7970 platinum?

^Keep calm and wait for 290 Might be a better buy due to TrueAudio+Game Bundle+Not a "Refresh"

Truee.. I can't believe they didnt include TrueAudio for the 280x

what are the requirement for simcity (2013) when come to GPU?
